Alloy G-35 Product Description

Overview

Alloy G-35 is a high-chromium nickel-chromium-molybdenum corrosion-resistant alloy. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.

Developed to resist "wet process" phosphoric acid (P₂O₅) used in fertiliser production, Alloy G-35 is far superior to other metallic materials in this acid in real-world tests. Its very high chromium content (about 33%) makes it extremely resistant to oxidizing acids such as nitric acid and to mixtures containing nitric acid, while its appreciable molybdenum content gives moderate resistance to reducing acids; uniquely among Ni-Cr-Mo alloys, it is also very resistant to "caustic de-alloying" in hot sodium hydroxide. It resists localized attack in chloride-bearing deposits and is far less susceptible to chloride-induced stress-corrosion cracking than the stainless steels and nickel-chromium-iron alloys traditionally used in wet-process phosphoric acid. It is a single-phase, solid-solution alloy supplied in the solution-annealed condition.

Typical applications include wet-process phosphoric acid evaporators and heat exchangers, nitric and mixed-acid service, fertiliser manufacture, chemical reactors and piping, and hot caustic service.

3. Mechanical Properties

Solution-annealed condition, typical values for UNS N06035.

Condition Property Value
Solution annealed Tensile strength (UTS) ≥690 MPa (100 ksi)
Solution annealed 0.2% yield strength ≥310 MPa (45 ksi)
Solution annealed Elongation at break ≥40 %
As-welded Corrosion resistance Retained (low carbon)
Elastic modulus 200 GPa

Confirm against the mill test report. The low carbon content preserves corrosion resistance in the weld heat-affected zone.

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Wet-process phosphoric acid (P₂O₅) Excellent Primary application; superior to most alloys
Nitric / oxidizing acids Excellent Very high chromium content
Hot sodium hydroxide (caustic) Excellent Resists caustic de-alloying (unique)
Pitting / crevice corrosion Very Good Molybdenum-bearing; chloride deposits
Chloride stress-corrosion cracking Excellent Far better than stainless steels

The very high chromium content, supported by molybdenum, gives outstanding resistance in wet-process phosphoric acid, nitric and mixed oxidizing acids, and hot caustic, with excellent resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking and good resistance to localized attack.

5. Heat Treatment

A single-phase solid-solution alloy; not hardenable by precipitation. Properties are set by solution annealing.

Solution Anneal Solution anneal at approximately 1120 °C (2050 °F) and rapidly quench (water or rapid air cool) to dissolve secondary phases and retain maximum corrosion resistance. The alloy is not strengthened by heat treatment; cold work raises strength.

6. Weldability and Joining

Good weldability, similar to C-2000; readily welded by the gas-tungsten-arc and gas-metal-arc processes with matching filler, and resistant to grain-boundary precipitation in the as-welded condition owing to its low carbon content. No post-weld heat treatment is normally required.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Good Matching G-35 filler
GMAW / MIG Good Matching filler
SMAW / stick Good Matching electrode

Weld with matching filler and clean surfaces; the alloy may be used as-welded without post-weld heat treatment.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Machinability Difficult; work-hardens, rigid setups, heavy-duty tooling
Speeds Slow speeds, positive feeds, no dwelling
Coolant Ample water-based coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming Good; work-hardens, anneal between heavy operations
Hot forming 1010–1175 °C; solution anneal afterward
