Alloy N155 is a Nickel-Chromium-Cobalt alloy with additions of Molybdenum and Tungsten used typically in parts requiring high strength up to 1350°F and oxidation resistance up to 1800°F. Its high-temperature properties are inherent in the as-supplied condition (solution treated at 2150°F) and are not dependent on age-hardening. Multimet N155 is used in a number of aerospace applications such as tailpipes and tail cones, turbine blades, shafts and rotors, afterburner components and high-temperature bolts.

Alloy N155 has good resistance to corrosion in certain media under both oxidizing and reducing conditions. When solution heat treated, alloy N155 alloy has about the same resistance to nitric acid as does stainless steel. It has better resistance than stainless steel to weak solutions of hydrochloric acid. It withstands all concentrations of sulfuric acid at room temperature. The alloy can be machined, forged and cold-formed by conventional methods.
The alloy can be welded by various arc and resistance-welding processes. This alloy is available as sheet, strip, plate, wire, coated electrodes, billet stock and sane and investment castings.
It is also available in the form of re-melt stock to a certified chemistry. Most wrought forms of n155 alloy are shipped in the solution heat-treated condition to assure optimum properties. Sheet is given a solution heat-treatment of 2150°F, for a time dependent upon section thickness, followed by a rapid air cool or water quench. Bar stock and plate (1/4 in. and heavier) are usually solution heat treated at 2150°F followed by water quench.
Alloy N155 suffered from mediocre oxidation resistance, a tendency for heat affected zone cracking during welding, and a relatively wide scatter band of mechanical properties
