UNS N06455 (2.4610, NiMo16Cr16Ti) Nickel Alloy
N06455 nickel is a nickel alloy formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the solution annealed (AT) condition. 2.4610 is the EN numeric designation for this material. NiMo16Cr16Ti is the EN chemical designation. And N06455 is the UNS number.
It has a moderately high melting temperature and a moderately high ductility among wrought nickels.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare N06455 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.
