NiCr19Fe19Nb5Mo3 Product Description

Overview

NiCr19Fe19Nb5Mo3 is the EN symbol designation for a precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium-iron superalloy, one of the most widely used superalloys in the world. This datasheet presents the material within the EN symbol designation system.

Originally an age-hardenable derivative of alloy 625, NiCr19Fe19Nb5Mo3 derives its outstanding strength from the precipitation of gamma-prime (γ′, Ni₃(Al,Ti)) and gamma-double-prime (γ″, Ni₃Nb) phases during ageing, with niobium the key strengthening addition. It combines high tensile, fatigue, creep and stress-rupture strength up to about 700 °C with good oxidation resistance, excellent cryogenic toughness, and good weldability and forgeability. It is non-magnetic, is readily formed in both cold and hot conditions, and is used in the solution-treated and aged condition.

Typical applications include gas-turbine discs, blades and casings, aero- and rocket-engine components, oil-and-gas equipment for corrosive and sour environments, fasteners and cryogenic hardware.

3. Mechanical Properties

Solution-treated and aged condition, per EN reference data for W.Nr. 2.4668.

Condition Property Value
Solution treated & aged Tensile strength (Rm) ≥1240 MPa
Solution treated & aged 0.2% proof strength (Rp0.2) ≥1035 MPa
Solution treated & aged Elongation (A5) ≥12 %
Solution treated & aged Reduction of area (Z) ≥15 %
Solution treated & aged Hardness ~36–44 HRC

Values per EN reference data; properties depend on the solution and double-ageing treatment. Confirm against the inspection certificate (EN 10204).

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
High-temperature oxidation Very Good To about 980 °C
Aqueous / general Good Chromium + molybdenum bearing
Sour gas (H₂S) Good Per heat-treatment condition
Chloride pitting / crevice Good Mo-bearing
Elevated-temperature strength Excellent Primary design advantage

Corrosion and oxidation resistance is good for its class; the alloy is selected primarily for its exceptional combination of high strength, fatigue and creep resistance with adequate corrosion resistance.

5. Heat Treatment

A precipitation-hardenable superalloy; strengthened by solution treatment followed by double ageing.

Solution Treatment Solution anneal at approximately 950–1010 °C and cool (air or faster). A higher solution temperature (~1040–1065 °C) is used where creep-rupture performance is prioritised.

Precipitation Hardening (Ageing) Age in two steps — approximately 720 °C / 8 h, furnace cool to about 620 °C, hold ~8 h, air cool — precipitating γ′ (Ni₃(Al,Ti)) and γ″ (Ni₃Nb).

6. Weldability and Joining

Good weldability, notably better than many γ′-strengthened superalloys owing to the sluggish γ″ ageing response. Welding is done in the solution-annealed condition with post-weld heat treatment.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Good Matching alloy 718 filler
GMAW / MIG Good Matching filler
EBW / laser Good Autogenous or matching filler

Weld in the solution-annealed condition; apply post-weld solution and ageing to develop properties.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Preferred condition Solution-annealed for machining, then age
Machinability Difficult; rigid setups, carbide tooling, slow speeds
Coolant Ample coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming In the annealed condition; work-hardens rapidly
Hot forming Readily forged; solution and age afterward
