N06022 Product Description

Overview

N06022 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten corrosion-resistant alloy. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.

One of the most versatile nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys, N06022 was developed in 1985 to achieve better thermal stability than C-276 and better chloride-induced localized-corrosion and stress-corrosion-cracking resistance than C-4. With a balanced content of molybdenum and tungsten, it offers outstanding resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments: its high chromium content resists oxidizing media such as nitric acid and ferric and cupric chlorides, while its molybdenum and tungsten resist reducing media such as sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. It has exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking, and its low carbon content minimises grain-boundary carbide precipitation during welding, allowing use in the as-welded condition. It is a single-phase, solid-solution alloy supplied in the solution-annealed condition.

Typical applications include chemical and petrochemical processing, flue-gas desulfurisation and pollution control, pulp-and-paper, marine and waste-treatment equipment.

2. Chemical Composition (wt %)

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Nickel Ni Balance Base element; reducing-media resistance
Chromium Cr 20.0 22.5 Oxidizing-media / pitting resistance
Molybdenum Mo 12.5 14.5 Reducing-media / crevice resistance
Tungsten W 2.50 3.50 Reducing-media resistance
Iron Fe 2.0 6.0 Residual
Cobalt Co 2.50 Residual
Vanadium V 0.35 Residual
Carbon C 0.015 Low; minimises carbide precipitation

3. Mechanical Properties

Solution-annealed condition, typical values for UNS N06022.

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 ≥45 %
As-welded Corrosion resistance Retained (low carbon)
Elastic modulus 206 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
Oxidizing acids (HNO₃, ferric/cupric chloride) Excellent High chromium content
Reducing acids (H₂SO₄, HCl) Excellent Molybdenum + tungsten
Pitting / crevice corrosion Excellent Superior to stainless steels
Stress-corrosion cracking Excellent High nickel content
Wet chlorine / mixed acids Excellent Versatile oxidizing/reducing performance

The balanced chromium, molybdenum and tungsten content gives outstanding resistance across both oxidizing and reducing environments — including wet chlorine, mixed and contaminated acids, seawater and brines — with exceptional resistance to localized attack, making it suitable for "upset" and multipurpose process conditions.

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

Excellent weldability; readily welded by the gas-tungsten-arc and gas-metal-arc processes with matching filler, and used 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 Excellent Matching C-22 filler (ERNiCrMo-10)
GMAW / MIG Good Matching filler
SMAW / stick Good Matching electrode (ENiCrMo-10)

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
Speeds Slow speeds, positive feeds, no dwelling
Coolant Ample coolant

Forming Processes

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