UNS N06975 Nickel Alloy
N06975 nickel is a nickel alloy formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the solution annealed (AT) condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare N06975 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.
