Tensile strength of Nickel-iron

AI Thread Summary
The tensile strength of Nickel-iron varies based on its treatment, with cold-worked versions exhibiting higher strength compared to annealed ones. Invar, a specific Nickel-iron alloy, is often referenced in discussions about this material. Reliable information can be found through resources like the Nickel Development Institute and MatWeb. Additionally, the presence of a Widmannstätten structure may influence the brittleness of Nickel-iron. Understanding these factors is crucial for applications requiring specific material properties.

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but what the tensile strength of Nickel-iron, or where would I be able to find it?

Is one referring to Invar? http://www.nickel-alloys.net/invar_nickel_iron_alloy.html

Strength will depend on whether it is annealed (minimum strength) or cold-worked, with strength increasing as a function of cold-work.

One should be able to find information at the Nickel Development Institute (NDI)

or MatWeb, or suppliers

Does the presence of Widmannstätten structure make nickel-iron brittler?
