N06030 Product Description

Overview

N06030 is a high-chromium nickel-chromium-iron corrosion-resistant alloy with additions of molybdenum, tungsten and copper. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.

An improved version of alloy G-3, N06030 carries a substantially higher chromium content together with additions of cobalt and tungsten, giving superior corrosion resistance over most other nickel- and iron-based alloys in commercial phosphoric acids and in complex highly oxidizing acid environments. It is especially valued for "wet process" phosphoric acid (P₂O₅) service in the fertiliser industry, and also resists nitric and mixed oxidizing acids, ferric and cupric ions, and chloride-induced localized attack and stress-corrosion cracking. The low carbon content resists grain-boundary precipitation in the weld heat-affected zone, so the alloy can be used in the as-welded condition. 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, pickling operations, fertiliser and pesticide manufacture, gold extraction, and nuclear-waste processing.

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Nickel Ni Balance Base element; SCC / reducing-media resistance
Chromium Cr 28.0 31.5 Oxidizing-acid / phosphoric-acid resistance
Iron Fe 13.0 17.0 Base alloying; cost-effectiveness

3. Mechanical Properties

Solution-annealed condition, typical values for UNS N06030.

Condition Property Value
Solution annealed Tensile strength (UTS) ≥620 MPa (90 ksi)
Solution annealed 0.2% yield strength ≥240 MPa (35 ksi)
Solution annealed Elongation at break ≥45 %
As-welded Corrosion resistance Retained (low carbon)
Elastic modulus 200 GPa

Confirm against the mill test report. ASTM minima are conservative; mill data typically exceed them. 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 High chromium content
Mixed acids (nitric/HF, nitric/HCl) Excellent Pickling and complex acid service
Pitting / crevice corrosion Very Good Molybdenum + tungsten
Chloride stress-corrosion cracking Very Good Lower susceptibility than stainless steels

The high chromium content, supported by molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt and copper, gives outstanding resistance in wet-process phosphoric acid and in complex oxidizing and mixed-acid environments, with good resistance to localized attack and stress-corrosion cracking.

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 1175 °C (2150 °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; 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. Post-weld heat treatment is typically unnecessary, even for critical acid service.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Good Matching G-30 filler (ERNiCrMo-11)
GMAW / MIG Good Matching filler
SMAW / stick Good Matching electrode (ENiCrMo-11)

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
