EN 2.4654 (NiCr20Co13Mo4Ti3Al) Nickel Alloy
EN 2.4654 nickel is a nickel alloy formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the aged (precipitation hardened) condition. 2.4654 is the EN numeric designation for this material. NiCr20Co13Mo4Ti3Al is the EN chemical designation.
It has a moderately high tensile strength and a moderately low ductility among wrought nickels.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 2.4654 nickel to: wrought nickels (top), all nickel alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
