N06635 Product Description

Overview

N06635 is a nickel-based high-temperature alloy with a unique combination of thermal stability, low thermal expansion and oxidation resistance. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.

Developed for applications involving severely cyclical heating conditions, N06635 retains its strength, ductility and metallurgical integrity after long-time high-temperature exposure. It combines excellent thermal stability with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent oxidation resistance to about 1093 °C (2000 °F), together with good high-temperature and thermal-fatigue strength, and it retains strength and ductility after ageing at 427 to 871 °C (800 to 1600 °F). A small lanthanum (rare-earth) addition promotes oxidation resistance. Strengthening is by solid solution; the alloy is not precipitation-hardened. It is supplied in the solution heat-treated condition.

Typical applications include gas-turbine engine seal rings — where the low thermal-expansion coefficient is particularly important — and other low-stress high-temperature components; the alloy is also an excellent dissimilar-metal filler.

After ageing (427–871 °C) Strength / ductility Retained
Elastic modulus 212 GPa

Confirm against the mill test report. The alloy retains strength and ductility after long-time exposure and ageing, which underlies its use under severely cyclical heating.

4. Corrosion / Oxidation Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
High-temperature oxidation (to 1093 °C) Excellent Lanthanum-enhanced scale
Thermal cycling / thermal fatigue Excellent Low expansion; metallurgical stability
Thermal stability after ageing Excellent Strength/ductility retained 427–871 °C
Dimensional stability Excellent Low coefficient of thermal expansion
Aqueous corrosion Moderate Not the primary design purpose

The combination of high chromium and molybdenum with a lanthanum addition gives excellent oxidation resistance to about 1093 °C and outstanding thermal stability and thermal-fatigue strength, making the alloy well suited to severely cyclical high-temperature service.

5. Heat Treatment

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

Solution Anneal Solution anneal at approximately 1066 °C (1950 °F) followed by air cooling (or rapid cooling) to retain a uniform single-phase structure. Ageing at 538 to 871 °C (1000 to 1600 °F) restores ductility and strength after exposure. The alloy is not strengthened by precipitation; cold work raises strength.

6. Weldability and Joining

Excellent weldability; readily welded by the gas-tungsten-arc and gas-metal-arc processes. Owing to its toughness and ductility, Hastelloy S is also widely used as an excellent dissimilar-metal filler for joining other high-temperature alloys.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Excellent Matching S filler
GMAW / MIG Good Matching filler
As filler metal Excellent Dissimilar-metal joints

Weld on solution-annealed material with clean surfaces; the alloy is also valued as a dissimilar-metal filler.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines
