This specification can be fabricated using hot working in the temperature range of 1742-2102°F (950-1150°C), or cold working for 0.5-1.2 mm thick strips using annealing technique of 3 minutes at 1190°C by fluidized bed quenching.

Nimonic 263 nickel alloy is a nickel-chromium-cobalt-molybdenum alloy specially meant for use in high temperature and high strength applications. Alloy 263 can be precipitation-hardened. Due to its properties, this alloy is mostly used in high temperature and high strength applications, such as the hot section of gas turbines, both in aircraft and land-based applications.
