2.4658 is the German material number for a precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium-titanium alloy offering high strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperature. This datasheet presents the material within the Werkstoff-Nummer (DIN / EN) designation system.
A member of the nickel-chromium age-hardenable family, 2.4658 contains around 15% chromium with additions of titanium and aluminium that drive precipitation of the gamma-prime (γ′, Ni₃(Al,Ti)) phase during ageing. This gives high strength together with good oxidation and corrosion resistance at temperatures above about 540 °C, along with good surface stability and deformation resistance. It is used in the solution-treated and aged condition where a combination of strength and high-temperature stability is required.
Typical applications include high-temperature springs and fasteners, gas-turbine and engine components, and other parts requiring strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperature.

The high chromium content gives good oxidation and corrosion resistance at elevated temperature; the alloy is selected primarily for its combination of high-temperature strength and surface stability.
A precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium-titanium alloy; strengthened by solution treatment followed by ageing.
Solution Treatment Solution anneal at approximately 1080–1150 °C and cool, placing the titanium and aluminium in solid solution.
Precipitation Hardening (Ageing) Age at approximately 700–845 °C for several hours and air cool, precipitating γ′ (Ni₃(Al,Ti)). The ageing schedule is selected to balance strength, ductility and stress-relaxation resistance.
Weldable by inert-gas processes; welding is best performed in the solution-annealed condition with post-weld solution and ageing to develop properties.
