Nimonic 80A superalloy with high-temperature strength and high corrosion-resistance is used in jet engine for aircraft, gas turbine for power plant and marine diesel engine, etc. To develop the manufacturing process of exhaust valve for large diesel engine using Nimonic 80A, various mechanical tests, such as hot compression, microstructure and hardness test have been performed. This results effectively used to set the reasonable forging conditions while hot forging of Nimonic 80A superalloy. Open die and closed die forging experiments are carried out from ESR ingot and finally get a good shaped exhaust valve product.
