2.4602 is the German material number for a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten corrosion-resistant alloy. This datasheet presents the material within the Werkstoff-Nummer (DIN / EN) designation system.
One of the most versatile nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys, 2.4602 offers a balanced content of molybdenum and tungsten that gives 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.

Values per EN reference data; the low carbon content preserves corrosion resistance in the weld heat-affected zone. Confirm against the inspection certificate (EN 10204).
| 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.
A single-phase solid-solution alloy; not hardenable by precipitation. Properties are set by solution annealing.
Solution Anneal Solution anneal at approximately 1120 °C 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.
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 filler |
| GMAW / MIG | Good | Matching filler |
| SMAW / stick | Good | Matching electrode |
Weld with matching filler and clean surfaces; the alloy may be used as-welded without post-weld heat treatment.
Machining Guidelines
