N07716 Product Description

Overview

N07716 is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium-molybdenum superalloy developed for high-strength service in severely corrosive oil-and-gas environments. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / API / UNS) standard system.

Also known as alloy 625 Plus (625+), N07716 is an age-hardenable derivative of the corrosion-resistant alloy 625: a titanium addition allows strengthening through γ′ and γ″ precipitation while the high chromium and molybdenum content preserves the outstanding pitting, crevice and chloride resistance of the 625 base. The result combines strength approaching that of alloy 718 with corrosion resistance comparable to alloy 625. It is closely related to, and largely interchangeable with, alloy 725. Because its strength is developed by heat treatment rather than cold work, ductility and toughness remain high. It is qualified for sour service under NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 and is supplied in the solution-annealed and aged condition.

Typical applications include downhole and wellhead components — hangers, packers, landing nipples and safety valves — high-strength fasteners and connectors for subsea production systems, and flanges and couplings for high-pressure sour-gas service.

Confirm against the mill test report. The hardness limit and microstructure are controlled for sour-service qualification.

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Chlorides (pitting / crevice) Excellent High Cr + Mo; 625-level resistance
Sour gas (H₂S / CO₂) Excellent Qualified to NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156
Reducing acids Excellent Molybdenum-bearing
Seawater Excellent Resists pitting and crevice attack
Stress-corrosion cracking Very Good Resistant in chloride / sour media

The alloy delivers corrosion resistance comparable to alloy 625 together with high strength. Note that, in common with related precipitation-hardened nickel alloys, heat treatment must be controlled to avoid detrimental grain-boundary phases that can reduce resistance to hydrogen stress cracking under cathodic protection.

5. Heat Treatment

A precipitation-hardenable superalloy; strengthened by solution annealing followed by ageing. Heat treatment must be carefully controlled to avoid intergranular η and δ phases.

Solution Treatment Solution anneal at approximately 1010–1040 °C and cool (typically air or faster) to retain a clean solid solution.

Precipitation Hardening (Ageing) Age at approximately 730–760 °C for several hours and air cool, precipitating γ′ (Ni₃Ti) and γ″ (Ni₃Nb). A single-step age is common for sour-service product; the schedule is controlled to meet the strength and hardness limits while avoiding grain-boundary phases.

6. Weldability and Joining

Weldable by inert-gas processes; welding is performed in the solution-annealed condition with post-weld solution and ageing to develop properties. Matching or alloy 625/725-type fillers are used.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Good Matching or alloy 625-type 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 treatment to restore 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
