NiCr22Mo7Cu Product Description

Overview

NiCr22Mo7Cu is the EN symbol designation for a nickel-chromium-iron corrosion-resistant alloy with additions of molybdenum and copper. This datasheet presents the material within the EN symbol designation system.

A nickel-chromium-iron alloy with molybdenum and copper additions, NiCr22Mo7Cu has several minor elements controlled to give increased resistance to heat-affected-zone (HAZ) corrosion and improved weldability. It offers excellent corrosion resistance to oxidizing chemicals and atmospheres, while its nickel and copper contents provide resistance to reducing chemicals; the nickel gives exceptional stress-corrosion-cracking resistance in chloride environments, the high molybdenum gives very good pitting and crevice resistance, and the low carbon prevents sensitisation and intergranular corrosion. It is particularly suited to reducing acids such as phosphoric and sulfuric, and to flue-gas desulfurisation. Its relatively high iron content makes it a cost-effective choice among nickel corrosion-resistant alloys. It is supplied in the solution-annealed condition, and in the cold-worked-and-aged condition for high-strength oilfield use.

Typical applications include flue-gas desulfurisation scrubbers (quenchers, dampers, ducting), phosphoric and sulfuric acid handling, and oil-and-gas country tubular goods (OCTG), packers and downhole equipment in sour, high-chloride wells.

2. Chemical Composition (wt %)

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Nickel Ni Balance Base element; SCC / reducing-media resistance
Chromium Cr 21.0 23.5 Oxidizing-media / pitting resistance
Iron Fe 18.0 21.0 Base alloying; cost-effectiveness

Niobium Nb 0.50 Stabiliser
Carbon C 0.015 Low; prevents sensitisation

3. Mechanical Properties

Solution-annealed condition, per EN reference data for W.Nr. 2.4619.

Condition Property Value
Solution annealed Tensile strength (Rm) ≥620 MPa
Solution annealed 0.2% proof strength (Rp0.2) ≥240 MPa
Solution annealed Elongation (A5) ≥45 %
Cold-worked (OCTG) Proof strength higher; high-strength grades
Elastic modulus 199 GPa

Values per EN reference data; the low carbon content preserves corrosion resistance in the weld heat-affected zone. Confirm against the inspection certificate (EN 10204).

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Oxidizing chemicals / atmospheres Excellent High chromium content
Reducing acids (phosphoric, sulfuric) Excellent Nickel + copper + molybdenum
Pitting / crevice corrosion Very Good High molybdenum
Chloride stress-corrosion cracking Excellent High nickel content
Intergranular / HAZ corrosion Excellent Low carbon; controlled minor elements

The balance of chromium, molybdenum, copper and nickel gives broad resistance to both oxidizing and reducing media — notably phosphoric and sulfuric acids and flue-gas environments — with excellent resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking and to intergranular attack in the as-welded condition.

5. Heat Treatment

A single-phase solid-solution alloy; not hardenable by precipitation. Properties are set by solution annealing; high strength is obtained by cold work.

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

6. Weldability and Joining

Good weldability; readily welded by the gas-tungsten-arc and gas-metal-arc processes with matching filler, and resistant to intergranular corrosion 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 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, sharp tooling
