Standard Specification for

Precipitation-Hardening and Cold Worked Nickel Alloy Bars,
Forgings, and Forging Stock for Moderate or High
Temperature Service1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation B637; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.

1. Scope*

1.1 This specification2 covers hot- and cold-worked precipitation-hardenable nickel alloy rod, bar, forgings, and forging stock for
moderate or high temperature service (Table 1).

6. Mechanical Properties

6.1 Unless otherwise specified, the material shall be supplied in the cold worked or solution treated condition, suitable for
subsequent age hardening.

6.2 The cold worked or solution treated material shall be capable of meeting the mechanical property requirements of Table 3, and
the stress rupture requirements of Table 4 (except alloys UNS N07022, N09925 and N07725), following the precipitation
hardening treatment described in Table 2.

6.3 When the material is to be supplied in the cold worked or solution treated plus aged condition, the requirements of Table 3
and Table 4 (except alloys UNS N07022, N09925 and N07725) shall apply, with the precipitation hardening treatment of Table
2, or as agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer as part of the purchase contract.

7. Dimensions and Permissible Variations

7.1 Diameter, Thickness, or Width—The permissible variations from the specified dimensions of cold-worked rod and bar shall be
as prescribed in Table 5, and of hot-worked rod and bar as prescribed in Table 6.

7.1.1 Out of Round—Cold-worked and hot-worked rod, all sizes, in straight lengths, shall not be out-of-round by more than one
half the total permissible variations in diameter shown in Table 5 and Table 6, except for hot-worked rod 1⁄2 in. (12.7 mm) and
under, which may be out-of-round by the total permissible variations in diameter shown in Table 6.

7.1.2 Corners—Cold-worked bar shall have practically exact angles and sharp corners.
