PRESENTATION
GLOSSARY
Annealed:
Metallurgical condition for products having undergone a special heat treatment that allows more
sophisticated metalworking techniques such as certain types of machining of forming.
In the case of austenitic and austeno-ferritic steels, this state corresponds to the solution annealed state.
Descaled rolled bars:
Hot processed peeled bars: 1X finishing as per EN 10088-3 (1C for the non-peeled black bars).
Ground bars:
Cold processed bars obtained by grinding; 2B an 2G finishing as per EN 10088-3 for the tolerances h9 and <h8 respectively.
Heat treated:
Metallurgical condition obtained by quenching + tempering.
Material number:
No. of the steel registered with the European Registration Office. The number is found in the STAHLEISENLIST N 9.
Mechanical properties:
1 MPa = 1 N/mm2.
For profiles and bars with a thickness < 35 mm having undergone a final cold run, the maximum
HB hardness values or the maximum tensile strength values can be respectively increased:
by 60 units and 150 MPa, and the minimum elongation value can be decreased to 10%, for
ferritic and martensitic steels.
by 100 units and 200 MPa, and the minimum elongation value can be decreased to 20%, for
austenitics.
EN 10088-3.

Bright drawn bars:


Cold processed bars obtained by drawing (cold deformation): 2H finishing as per EN 10088-3.
Bright turned bars:
Cold processed bars obtained by turning and roller burnishing: 2D finishing as per EN 10088-3.
Treated and overaged, or precipitation hardened:
Metallurgical condition obtained by quenching and tempering performed on precipitation hardening
grades.
Treated or solution annealed:
Metallurgical condition obtained by quenching and reserved for precipitation hardening grades
(4542 - ex F16 PH).
It is mandatory that the material undergo tempering before its final use.
PRECISION DRAWN/TURNED BARS:
Products that are specially processed and manufactured to meet the increasingly strict requirements
of the screw cutting industry. See definition in the chapter entitled Factory manufacturing possibilities.
An manufacturing process that considerably improves the machinability of the grades without deteriorating other properties (corrosion, Mechanical properties), which remain in complete conformity
with standards.

NICKEL ALLOYS CORROSION DATA


The following table summarises the typical resistance of various nickel base alloys to a wide range of corrosive environments. When using the table the following points should be borne in mind:
1. Data are summarised in this way for guidance only to show:
i:

The most suitable alloy for a given environment bearing in mind that no allowance is made for the effects
of heat transfer, erosion, galvanic effects or the influence of minor impurities present in mixtures.

2. Materials are rated according to the determined corosion rate in a particular environment:
A= Corrosion rate less than 0-1 mm/y.
B= Corrosion rate less than 0-5 mm/a but greater than 0-1 mm/y.
C= Corrosion rate greater than 0-5 mm/y.
Corrosion rates less than 0-5 mm/a (A and B rating) are acceptable for most chemical and process plant.
3. The information should not be taken as an implied recommendation for the use of a particular material
in a specific environment. It should not be a substitute for in plant trials with sample test coupons.
4. Concentrations refer to aqueous solution or mixtures of gases in air.
5. Environments are listed in alphabetical order.
6. This data is typical of results obtained in these environments. However, these alloys are not limited to
the corrosives, temperatures or concentrations given.
N.B. The A rating can be misleading in that very often the corrosion rate is very much less than 0-1 mm/y.
Where thin-walled material is to be used and only very low corrosion rates can be tolerated, more precise corrosion data should be obtained.

5. Characteristics, applications:
Excellent resistance to oxidation under mildly cyclic conditions through 2000F characterizes 310.
Because of its high chromium and medium nickel contents, 310 has good resistance to sulfidation and
other forms of hot corrosion.
310 is widely used in moderately carburizing atmospheres such as encountered in petrochemical
environments. The more severely carburizing atmospheres of industrial heat treating furnaces requiere 330 or 333. 310 is not suggested for the severe thermal shock of repeated liquid quenching.
310 is often used at cryogenic temperatures, because of excellent toughness to 4 K, and low magnetic permeability.
310 has a machinability rating of 42% relative to AISI B1112 steel. With high speed steel tooling
this is about 70 surface feet per minute. Forming operations should be at room temperature whenever possible.

5. Characteristics, applications:
Material is austenitic, stainless and acid resisting nickel, chromium, molybdenum steels with a very
low carbon content (ELC type).
Material features improved strength due to its nitrogen addition, which is of particular importance
for the 0,2% proof stress to be used as design basis.
Applications
Material 316L and Material No. 1.4435 are mainly used for parts and equipment in urea plant subjected to high pressures and temperatures, and to severe corrosion (steam separator, condenser, reactor, stripper, scrubber). Both grades are also suitable for applications involving the attack of a variety
of chemicals in dyemills, in the textile, paper and leather industries, as well as the chemical, pharmaceutical and plastics industries.
The steels are not magnetic.
Corrosion resistance. Intergranular corrosion
Owing to their alloying elements and to the melting technique employed. Material 316 L and 1.4435
feature very good resistance to intergranular corrosion when tested according to DIN 50914. Their corrosion resistance is also found to be excellent when subjected to a Huey test according to ASTM A
252 Practice C - a maximum corrosion rate of 0.247 g/m_hr 316L and 0.54 g/m_hr (1.4435) obtained as an average of 5 bolling periods of 48 hours each can be guaranteed.
Stress corrosion cracking and pitting
The alloying elements of Material No. 1.4466 give this grade improved resistance to stress corrosion
cracking and pitting in high-chloride media (e.g. sea water) compared to that of conventional 18/8 steels.
Due to the increased Nickel content, Material No. 1.4465 has a considerably higher range of resistance to stress corrosion cracking than e.g. X2CrNiMo 1812 (TP 316 L).
Due to the Molybdenum content and the increased Chromium content there is a good corrosion resistance to flowing waters containing Chlorides.
Forming properties
Both grades can conveniently be cold formed, hot formed and machined.
Huey-test
Apart from the testing for resistance to grain disintegration the Huey-test also serves for investigating whether there are any further inhomogeneities such as precipitations within the grain, sigma phase and inclusions of Ferrite. For this reason the Huey-test represents a very strict testing method,
which includes a great number of parameters.
5,91 g/m2 24h=0.27 mm/year at the Huey-test. This extraordinarily low value can only be guaranteed by special provisions at the production of the steel and by extensive quality control during the various of production.
6. Welding properties:
Welding presents no difficulties. With an approved welding technique for fully austenitic filler metals
sound weld joints can be achieved up to a plate thickness of 80 mm. Welding should be carried out with
a short arc and mean amperage taking care to prevent weave beads exeeding two times the electrode diameter. Thick layers are to be avoided. Its is recommended to chip out the end craters. Interpass
temperature should not exceed 150. Quite on general, no postheat-treatment is required.

5. Characteristics, applications:
Principal Desing Features
317L is a low carbon version of 317 stainless. It possesses the same high strength and corrosion
resistance and will produce stronger welds due to its low carbon content. Many users are shifting over
to this alloy in lieu of 304 and 316.
Corrosion Resistance
Resistant to a wide variety of marine environments, salts, dilute nitric, acetic and sulfuric acids. Significantly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion at ambient temperatures than 316 or 316L
stainless.
Hot Working
All common hot working processes are possible with this alloy. Heat to 2100-2300F (1149-1260C).
Avoid working this material below 1700F (927C). For optimum corrosion resistance, a post-work annealing is recommended.
Cold Working
Shearing, stamping, heading and drawing can be successfully performed. To remove internal stresses, a post-work annealing is recommended.
Annealing
1850-2050F (1010-1121C), followed by rapid cooling.
Hardening
This alloy does not respond to heat treatment. Cold work will cause an increase in both hardness
and strength.
Machinability
Low speeds and constant feeds will minimize this alloys tendency to work harden. Tougher than 304
stainless with a long stringy chip, the use of chip breakers is recommended.
Applications
Chemical and petrochemical process equipment, pulp and paper manufacturing and condensers in
fossil and nuclear fueled power generation stations.
6. Welding properties:
All common fusion and resistance methods except oxyacetylene welding have proven successful. Use
AWS E/ER 317L filler metal for best results.

5. Characteristics, applications:
Cold bending
Heat treatment is in most cases not necessary after cold bending to normal bending radio. At a higher
degree of forming and at operational conditions which could cause stress corrosion in austenitic
steels, a stress-relieving annealing is reconmmended.

Corrosion Resistance
The addition of nitrogen provides a good austenitic stability for Material 317LMN giving it a superior
corrosion resistance to that of 1.4435. Even after heat treatment e.g. welding, a good corrosion resistance is maintained as there is no possibility of the formation of harmful phases e.g. the sigma phase. The increased molybdenum content affords a high corrosion resistance in chlorine-ion-containing
media. Pitting corrosion resistance is particularly improved.
Material 317LMN is characterized by good resistance in
Mixed acids
sulphuric acid / nitric acid, Hydrofluoric acid / nitric acid
sodium chlorite, sodium-hypochlorite
Bleaching solutions
Sea and brackish water
sodium chloride
Applications
Positive experiences with Material 317 LMN can be expected amongst others in the following
applications:

Fatty acid plants


Bleaching plants
Nuclear evaporation plants
Plants admitting aqueous chloride solutions.

6. Welding properties:
Electrode rod welding as well as the WIG (TIG)-method is suitable for welding tubes into tube plates.
The use of additives of the same type is recommended in order to obtain a weld free of ferrites and with
the favourable properties of the basic material. Welding should be carried out with as little heat as possible. There is usually no need for further heat treatment.
Weldable by all common methods. Because of the carbon restriction in 317LMN, carbide precipitation along the weld boundaries will be minimized. Filler metal should be either 317L, LM or LMN, although Alloy 625 (Inconel tm) has been successfully employed.

5. Characteristics, applications:
High carbon steels prone more to intercrystalline attack in weld zones and slower cooling sections.
These steel avoids such attacks through its stabilization with Ti. The corrosion behaviour of this alloy
in natural environments is very similar to the TP 304/304L alloys. Architecturally, it may not be adequate for near-industrial or onshore locations in Europe. Satisfactory in many low-chloride waters, it is
prone to pitting or crevice corrosion in seawater. Water treatment, galvanic protection and deaeration
can influence the performance.
Features
Oxidation resistant to 1600F
Stabilized against weld heat affected zone (HAZ) intergranular corrosion
Resists polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking
Application

Aircraft piston engine manifolds


Expansion joints
Refinery equipment
High temperature chemical process equipment

321 stainless is a titanium stabilized grade commonly used for service in the 1000-1600F temperature range. For service temperatures up to about 1600F, a stabilizing treatment at 1550-1650F, a stabilizing treatment at 1550-1650F, air cool, may be used to provide optimum resistance to intergranular corrosion and to polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking.
6. Welding properties:
321 is readily welded by all common methods including submerged arc. Appropriate weld fillers are AWS
ER347 bare wire and E347 covered electrodes.

5. Characteristics, applications:
This is the high carbon version of TP 321 which ensures greater creep resistance. Behaves much
the same as TP 321 in oxidation resistance.
This grade is version of the most common stainless steel, grade 304. They contain carbide forming
or stabilising elements such as titanium, niobium and tantalum, which form carbides in preference to
chromium carbide, and so prevent sensitisation. The grades were more common before the development of steelmaking equipment for reliable and economical manufacture of 304L grade, which is now
used in most applications.
Grade 321 is stabilised with titanium, 347 with niobium (columbium, Cb, in USA practice), and 348
with niobium plus tantalum, with a controlled cobalt content. Grade 348 is mainly used in nuclear applications. Each grade has an H version, with guaranteed high carbon (~0.07%), which can be used in
pressure vessels to higher temperatures.
The grades are used:
where the steel will be used at temperatures in the carbide precipitation range, 425 to 900C,
and subsequently exposed to corrosive environments.
where heavy parts (> 5 mm thickness) are fabricated by welding, and will not be subsequently solution annealed.
In practice, grade 304L is most often used nowadays, except for components for feat treatment
equipment and furnaces which are used intermittently, and may face corrosive conditions while cool.
The grades have similar corrosion resistance to grade 304 which has not been sensitised. They are
not suitable for decorative applications, as the stabilising additions produce inclusions which impair surface quality. They are not available in BA finish, and are usually used as heavy sections in 2D or No 1
finish.
Applications
Heat exchangers, furnaces, boilers in chemical and petrochemical plant.
Welded construction and parts heated in the carbide precipitation range, subsequently requiring the
corrosion resistance of grade 304: boilers, exhaust manifolds, fasteners, fire walls, furnace heating
elements, jet engine parts, mufflers for stationary engines, stack liners.

5. Characteristics, applications:
General Description:
Stainless steels are iron based alloys containing at least 10.5% Chromium. They achieve their stainless characteristics through the formation of an invisible and adherent Chromium rich oxide film. Alloy
347 is a general purpose austenitic stainless steel with a face centered cubic structure. It is essentially
non-magnetic in the annealed condition and can only be hardened by cold working.
Niobium has been added to suppress grain boundary Chromium Carbide precipitation.
Finishes
No 1 (hot rolled, annealed and pickled), 2D (cold rolled).
Heat Treatment
Solution annealing is performed at 1000-1120C, followed by rapid cooling. The grades cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Stress relieving is rarely required due to their high ductility and frequent use at
high temperatures.
Typical Applications
Welded construction and parts heated in the carbide precipitation range, subsequently requiring the corrosion resistance of grade 304: boilers, exhaust manifolds, fasteners, fire walls, furnace heating elements,
jet engine parts, mufflers for stationary engines, stack liners.
6. Welding properties:
These grades are readily weldable by most fusion techniques (GTAW/TIG, GMAW/MIG/MAG,
MMAW/stick, SAW), with no preheat, postheat or control of interpass temperature needed. Grade
347 welding consumables are used for 321 and 347 grades, and are prequalified in AS1554.6:1994
for welding to most other austenitic grades. Pickling and passivation is not usually required for use at
elevated temperatures.

5. Characteristics, applications:
Type 410 is a corrosion and heat resistant 12% chromium steel. It is the most widely used of the
hardenable stainless steels. Heat treated 410 has mechanical properties comparable to the engineering alloy steel AISI 4130, coupled with the additional benefit of good corrosion resistance.
Hardenable stainless which may be tempered as high as 1350F (732C) to produce high impact
toughness. Oxidation resistant through 1500F (816C) intermittently, 1200F (649C) continuously.
Corrosion Resistance
410 stainless is highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion. Maximum corrosion resistance is obtained by
hardening and polishing. Mild atmospheres, soft water (verify water analysis). Oxidizing saline solutions free
of chlorides, fluorides, iodides, bromides Cold diluted nitric solutions. Certain cold diluted organic acids:
picric, tannic, lactic Non-corrosive products such as: alcohol, benzol, petroleum, oil, soap
Metallurgy
The microstructure of annealed 410 consists of ferrite and carbides. Austenite forms in increasing
amounts as the steel is heated above approximately 1450F (790C). Rapid cooling from above 1450F
(790C) produces a partially or completely martensitic structure, depending upon the austenitizing temperature and the analysis. A fully martensitic structure, or very nearly so, may be developed by oil quench from
1800F (982C), or by air cooling if the section is light.
Chromium near the upper specified limit will reduce maximum hardness and will usually produce
small amounts of ferrite in with the hardened martensite. Heats of 410 with higher carbon will have
slightly greater hardness in the annealed condition, and greater hardness in the hardened condition.
Heat Treatment
Annealing: Heat uniformly to 1200-1400F (650-760C), remove from furnace and air cool. This should
result in Brinell hardness about 187.
For maximum softness, heat to 1500-1650F (816-900C), furnace cool slowly to 1100F (593C),
after which air cooling is permissible. Brinell hardness should be approximately 155.
Hardening: Heat to 1750-1850F (954-1010C), soak at heat, and quench in oil. Light sections will also harden by air cooling. 410 will harden to some degree when heated 1500F (816C) and over unless
slowly cooled to below the critical temperature.
Tempering: Soak at heat at least one hour, longer for large sections, and air cool. Tempering 410 in the
range 750-1050F (400-570C) results in decreased impact toughness and somewhat reduced corrosion
resistance.
Applications
Press plates. Petrochemical equipment. Gate valves. Mining machinery. Distillation trays.
6. Welding properties:
Because 410 is an air hardening steel, it must be given a high preheat, at least 350-400F (180200C) before welding, and immediately given a full anneal before the weldment cools. Otherwise the
metal will harden, and cracking is likely. This nickel alloy is comparatively low strength, and therefore accommodates some of the strain which may otherwise contribute to cracking in the 410 weldment.

5. Characteristics and applications:
The high levels of chromium, particulary of molybdenum, endow S31254 with an extremely good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The addition of copper provides improved resistance in certain acids. Furthermore, due to its relatively high nickel content in combination with the high levels of
67

Pgina 68

chromium and molybdenum, S31254 possesses a good resistance against corrosion. Numerous field
tests, as well as practical experience, show that S31254 is resistant to crevice corrosion in sea water, even at increased temperatures.
S31254 is delivered in an annealed condition (1150-1200C, rapid cooling) and has an austenitic
structure. In certain cases there may be traces of intermetallic phases (chi-and sigma phase) in the
centre of the material. Normally, however, this has no influence on the impact strength or on the corrosion resistance. When exposed to a temperature range of between 600-1000C, these phases can
precipitate at the grain boundaries. If the given recommendations for hot forming, welding and heat
treatment are followed, there will be no precipitation affecting the corrosion resistance.
CORROSION

RESISTANCE

General corrosion
In a solution containing halides such as chloride, bromide or fluoride ions conventional stainless steels can readily be attacked by localized corrosion in the form of pitting, crevice corrosion or stress corrosion cracking. In certain cases, however, the presence of halides can accelerate the general (uniform) corrosion. This applies especially to cases where halides occur in nonoxidizing acids.
Pitting corrosion
In a solution with a chloride concentration exceeding that of sea water, S31254 possesses a very
good resistance up to high temperatures.
Intergranular corrosion
S31254 has a very low carbon content. Therefore, as far as the connection with the heat input is
concerned, there is little risk of carbide precipitation. Due to the low carbon content and the general
chemical composition, this steel passes the Strauss test (ASTM A 262 Practice E) even after one hour
of sensitizing at 600-1000C.
However, due to the high alloying element content of the steel, intermetallic phases can precipitate at
the grain boundaries as in the above mentioned temperature range. These precipitations do not involve a
risk of intergranular corrosion in the corrosive media where this steel is used. Thus, welding can be carried out without any risk of intergranular corrosion. However, in a hot concentrated nitric acid, these phases can cause risk to intergranular corrosion in the heat-affected zone.
Crevice corrosion
The weak point of the conventional stainless steel grades is their limited resistance to crevice corrosion. In sea water, for example, there is a considerable larger risk of crevice corrosion under gaskets,
deposits or fouling than of pitting on the free surfaces.
S31254 is completely free from attacks, even after exposure to sea water at 60C. Conventional
stainless steel grades, on the other hand, are attacked already at low temperatures by crevice corrosion.
Stress corrosion cracking
Under favourable conditions, stress corrosion cracking can occur in all stainless steels, with the exception of those ferritic grades which are not alloyed with nickel or copper.
For austenitic steels, the resistance to stress corrosion cracking increases with the rise of the nickel and molybdenum contents.
S31254 possesses a very good resistance to stress corrosion cracking. However, this steel grade
does not pass the SCC test in a 45% boiling magnesium chloride test solution, which is the severest
test procedure to detect stress corrosion cracking. The same happens with ferritic steels, alloyed with
nickel or copper and ferritic-austenitic steels.
PROCESSING
Hot working
Hot working should be carried out in the temperature range of between 1150-1000C. Higher temperatures will reduce the workability. Fairly heavy scaling occurs at temperatures exceeding 1150C.
To ensure dissolution of possible precipitations of secondary phases from the hot forming, the subse68

CATALOGO

Pgina 69

quent heat treatment shall take place at min. 1150C, followed by the quickest possible cooling. If a cooling rate is too low, it can cause a reduced corrosion resistance.
Cold working
S31254 possesses very good cold formability. Bending, pressing and other forming operations can
be carried out without any difficulty. Thus, practical experience obtained from the pressing of elbows,
tees, reducers, etc. has been very favourable. The steel workhardens rapidly.
MACHINING
Like other austenitic steels, S31254 is tough. The relatively high hardness and the tendency towards work-hardening must be taken into account when this grade is machined.
Fully satisfactory machining results can be obtained when selecting the right choice of tools and machining data.
Applications
Up to the present S31254 has been supplied for the following applications:
Use of equipment in contact with sea water such as heat exchangers, cooling water pipes and
even in cases where stagnant conditions can occur. Desalation plants.
Equipment at pulp bleaching plants, such as drums, vats and press rolls for filter washers, and
pipelines for pulp and filtrate.
Components in gas cleaning systems, e.g. in pulp and metallurgical industries, and in power stations.
Tanks and pipelines for different chemicals with high halide levels.
Equipment used for the destillation of tall oil.
6. Welding properties:
S31254 possesses good weldability and can be welded using conventional welding methods for
stainless steel.
Sheets and plates in grade S31254 have a homogeneous composition. Remelting of the parent metal, such as during welding without filler metal, may cause microscale variations in composition for elements such as chromium, nickel and, particularly, molybdenum. This phenomenon occurs in all highly
alloyed stainless steels. These variations may reduce the pitting resistance of the weld.
The following welding instructions should be observed:
1. The material may not be subjected to abrasive contact with copper/brass items. Penetration of
Cu/Zn into the grain boundaries can give rise to crack formation.
2. P 12 welding consumables should be used for all welding methods. TIG- and plasma -arc- welding
without filler wire should be avoided in cases where post-weld annealing is impossible.
3. Ignite the electrode in the joint since ignition burns beside the weld can give rise to corrosion
attacks.
4. Weld with low heat input, the run energy should not exceed 1.5 KJ/mm. Weaving should be avoided in horizontal position. Do not use unnecessarily high ampearages or thicker electrodes than
necessary.

5. Characteristics, applications:
AL-6XN alloy is a nickel molybdenum alloy with excellent resistance to chloride pitting and crevice
corrosion. AL-6XN has been used for seawater heat exchangers, chemical process tanks and pipelines, offshore oil and gas seawater heat exchangers.
Corrosion Resistance
AL-6XN alloy has proven to be resistant to a broad range of very corrosive processing environments. Exceptional corrosion resistance is obtained to chloride-induced corrosion in the forms of pitting, crevice and
stress corrosion cracking. AL-6XN alloy also has excellent general corrosion resistance to various acids and
salt solutions. This is achieved due to the higher levels of:
Nitrogen which retards the formation of chi phase during manufacturing and field welding
Chromium provides good resistance to oxidizing environments
Molybdenum improves resistance to chlorides.
Cost Comparison
Al-6XN alloy initially is more expensive than 300 series stainless steels. However, life-cycle costs for
systems utilizing the alloy can be far less than the comparable costs of the initial installation, maintenance, and subsequent replacement of lesser alloys used in aggressive environments. In addition to
material replacement, labor costs, and production downtime caused by system failures of 300 series
stainless steels used in very corrosive environments, consideration must also be given to the associated costs of product contamination caused by corrosion related failures. Studies have shown the initial cost comparison of Al-6XN raw material to other alloys as follows:
304L stainless steel = factor of 1 (base)
316L stainless steel = 1.15 (x) 304L stainless steel
AL-6XN Alloy = 3 (x) 304L stainless steel
C-276 / C-22 = 5 (x) 304L stainless steel
When selecting materials for process systems, guidelines should be followed giving consideration to
the service environment. The inclusion of corrosion control and the correct material selection is the
most efficient and economical means for controlling corrosion and adding life to a piping system.
Fabrication
The toughness and ductility of the AL-6XN alloy provides for relative ease of fabrication in the shop
or field environments. Satisfactory machining may be achieved by the selection of the correct tools and
machine set-ups.
General or Uniform Corrosion
General corrosion is rather predictable. The uniform attack of an entire area exposed to a corrosive media usually is expressed as an average loss-of-metal-thickness over a given period of time and
is expressed in units such as mils (0.001 inch) per year, or mpy. Table 1 compares the immersion
corrosion resistance, conducted in accordance with ASTM G-31, of five alloys in eight different boiling acid and alkali solutions. These data illustrate the performance of the alloys in a variety of envi72

ronments and do not necessarily simulate a particular process or industry environment. Note that
the AL-6XN alloy has a much lower general corrosion rate than the 300 series stainless steels in
these aggressive environments.

Pitting Corrosion
Probably the most important characteristic of a stainless steel alloy exposed to chloride containing solutions is its resistance to pitting and crevice attack. The pitting resistance of an austenitic
stainless steel may be correlated to alloy composition in terms of the Pitting Resistance Equivalent
Number. PREN = %Cr + 3.3 (%Mo) + 16 (%N); where chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen are in
weight percent. Increasing the molybdenum in the alloy produces greater resistance to pitting. Therefore high molybdenum-high chromium alloys generally provides the best pitting resistance.
Another important consideration is the chloride pitting potential of stainless steel. This is an indication of the susceptibility of the alloy to localized corrosion. If the potential is more positive, the
chances of pitting are reduced.
The Critical Pitting Temperature (CPT) is the minimum solution temperature at which pitting is
first observed. When compared to the other alloys in these tests, the AL-6XN alloy demonstrated
a significantly greater resistance to pitting.

Increasing the acidity (decreasing the pH), of a solution beyond a certain value may result in a
dramatic increase in the general corrosion rate. This value is referred to as the depassivation pH,
above which the rate is low and below which the rate is high. Corrosion rates in an acidified 3.5%
sodium chloride solution at room temperature for austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel,
and AL-6XN stainless show that AL-6XN alloy is the most resistant of the austenitic stainless alloys.
The AL-6XN alloy corrosion rate does not appreciably increase until the solution pH falls below 0.3.

Crevice Corrosion
Crevice corrosion is another form of localized corrosion that occurs when the corroding metal is in
close contact with anything that makes a tight crevice. Metal degradation at the mating surface of a
sanitary clamp fitting and gasket is usually the result of crevice corrosion. Crevice corrosion is usually
the first to occur and is predictable as to when and where it will take place. Like pitting, the presence
of chlorides makes the reaction proceed at a fast rate. There is a critical crevice corrosion temperature (CCCT) below which corrosion will not occur. The greater the difference between the CCCT and
the operating temperature, the greater the probability that crevice corrosion will occur.
Intergranular Corrosion
The most common example of intergranular corrosion is the formation of chromium carbide in
the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of higher carbon stainless steel duringwelding. These carbides form
along the grain boundaries. Because the carbides require more chromium than is locally available,
the carbon depletes chromium from the area around the carbon. The grain boundary zone is left low
in chromium and creates a new, low chromium alloy in that region. A mismatch in galvanic potential between the base metal and the grain boundary results, so galvanic corrosion begins. As the
grain boundaries corrode, the grain and the chromium carbides drop out like particles of rusty sand.
The surface of the metal develops a sugary appearance.
Intergranular corrosion also can occur whenever intermetallic compounds such as chi or sigma
phase form. These compounds usually form when some type of heating occurs, such as welding, heat treatment, or metal fabrication. Understanding how they form makes it relatively easy to control
their formation. Since AL-6XN stainless has low carbon, chromium carbide formation usually is not
a problem. However, chi phase may be a problem as it forms when the weld metal cools after welding, especially in the heat affected zone, or if heat treatment is improperly performed, or if the alloy
is held for a short time in the 1200-1800F (650-1000C) range.
Stress Corrosion Cracking
Because the AL-6XN alloy has increased resistance to SCC it has been used successfully in applications such as chemical process equipment, brewery equipment, feed-water heaters, and flue gas
reheaters. AL-6XN alloy is very resistant to SCC at temperatures less than 121C. The threshold
temperature for initiating SCC decreases with increasing chloride content.
Applications
AL-6XN alloy is currently in use in the following industries:
Food Processing
Pharmaceutical
Biopharmaceutical
Brewery
Desalination
Semi-conductor
Aerospace
Pulp & paper

It is used in contact with these products:

Sports drinks
Ketchup
Soy sauce
Barbecue sauce
Salsa
Fine chemicals
Cosmetics
Pharmaceuticals

6. Welding properties:
Good weldability.
The low carbon and high nitrogen contents minimize the precipitation of carbides and secondary
phases that can occur during welding. Field welding can be easily achieved provided that a suitable overmatched filler ring is used and the material has been properly cleaned and prepared for welding. Welding procedures are similar to those used with other austenitic stainless steels.

5. Characteristics and applications:


Designed to provide and excellent combination of both strength and corrosion resistance for a wide variety of applications.
The alloy can be considered a second generation of those alloys whose structure consists of approximately 50% austenite and 50% ferrite by design of chemical composition. This duplex or two-phase
structure provides good resistance to stress-corrosion in chloride and hydrogen suphide environments.
The alloy develops almost twice the yield strength of the standard austenitic stainless steels, although
the ultimate tensile strength on which allowable design stress is usually based, is only 20% above the
austenitic grades.
A widely used duplex steel combining high strength and corrosion resistance in various organic
acids, anorganic acids, aggressive coolingwaters and hydrous H2S/NaCl mixtures. With a near equal
mix of austenite and ferrite, the give yield strength 30% higher and tensile strengths marginally higher
than comparable nitrogen-containing austenitics. High resistance to general corrosion and specifically
to pitting and crevice corrosion. Their resistance to stress-corrosion cracking in neutral chlorides is superior to that of the austenites. In high chloride acidic or moderately sour environments where hydrogen or sulphide stress cracking is more likely, higher alloyed austenitics need also to be considered. Impact values are high and transition temperatures of base materials vary around 50C. However, the
proportion and orientation of ferrite in welds and base materials may significantly affect toughness at
subzero temperatures. Exposure to moderate and high temperatures and less rapid cooling may cause embrittlement.
Metallurgical structure
After solution annealing at 1900-2000F (1040C-1100C), the precipitation free Duplex structure contains about 40% ferrite and 60% austenite.
The ferritic/austenitic structure is maintained also at higher temperatures. This is due to the nitrogen addition, a strongly austenite stabilizing elements, as wel as to the precipitation free state. The presence of nitrogen, dissolved in the austenitic constituent, retards remarkably the carbide precipitation.
This effect, together with the decrease of carbon content to max. 0.03%, results in a very good resistance against intergranular corrosion even after holding in the critical temperature range of 600950C/1100-1750F.

no cracks have been observed.
CORROSION

RESISTANCE

General corrosion is characterized by an uniform attack of the steel surface when it comes into contact with a corrosive medium. The resistance is normally considered good if the corrosion rate is less
than 0.1 mm/year, due to its high chromium and molybdenum content.
Duplex has a better resistance than type 316 and 317 in most mediums.
Intergranular corrosion
Thanks to the Duplex structure and the low carbon content, Duplex has a very high resistance to
intergranular corrosion. In general, when welding ferritic-austenitic steels, a narrow heat-affected zone, close to the fusion line is obtained, where the structure may become fully ferritic. Chromium carbides precipitate rapidly in such a zone; thus, producing a risk of intergranular corrosion. However, Duplex has a balanced composition which ensures a sufficient amount of austenite in the heat affected
zone to minimize the risk of undesirable carbide precipitation.
Sulphide strees corrosion cracking
The presence of hydrogen sulphide in chloride solutions entails the risk of stress cracking also at
lower temperatures. The resistance of Duplex stainless steels varies with the chemical composition and
the microstructure. One example of the types of environments where sulphide stress corrosion cracking may occur is in sour oil and gas wells. Duplex has proved to be very resistant in such environments. Contrary to chloride induced stress corrosion cracking, sulphide stress corrosion cracking also
attacks the ferritic phase. Laboratory tests have shown that Duplex has a high resistance to sulphide
stress corrosion cracking.
Pitting and crevice corrosion
The resistance to these types of corrosion is increased by an addition of chromium, molybdenum
and nitrogen.
Stress corrosion cracking
Conventional austenitic stainless steels may be attacked by stress corrosion cracking in chloride environments at elevated temperatures. Duplex stainless steels with a continuous ferrite phase, are much
less prone to this type of corrosion.
Corrosion fatigue
The high mechanical strength combined with the very good corrosion resistance gives Duplex a high
corrosion fatigue strength.
PROCESSING
Hot forming should be carried out in the temperature range of 1200-900C/2200-1650F. After
this a final heat treatment is required.
However, it should be borne in mind that the mechanical stength of the material is low at high temperatures.
At temperatures below 950C embrittling can take place on account of the combination of strain
and exposure in the sigma phase field.
At room temperature cold working can be done without any problems. Cold working >10% entails also a final heat treatment. Work hardening is higher than that of austenitic stainless steels, necessitates,
however, accordingly higher forces of deformation and tools with higher maintenance of cutting power.

MACHINING
With high speed tools the same cutting data can be applied as with type 316. However, when cemented carbide tools are used the cutting speeds have to be reduced by 20%.

All forms of supply are normally delivered in the solution-annealed condition. The temperature of
solution annealing ranges between 1040 and 1100C/1900-2000F. Up to 2 mm/0.078 in. quenching can be carried out in air, for thicknesses greater than 2 mm/0.078 in. water quenching will
be necessary.

6. Welding properties:
Duplex is easily weldable by all welding processes.
Duplex steels require somewhat more careful attention when being welded than normal austenitic
steels. The following precautions should be observed:
The material should be welded without preheating.
Welding should be performed using a low heat input. The material should be allowed to cool, preferably below 150C between passes. Do not use higher amperage than necessary. Increased
electrode diameter means higher heat input, if not compensated by higher welding speed.
Duplex can be welded using the following methods:
Manual metal arc with covered electrodes
Gas shielded arc welding such as TIG, plasma and MIG
Submerged arc welding
Post weld heat treatment is normally not necessary. In cases where heat treatment is considered,
for example for stress relieving, this should be carried out at the temperature range of between 10201070C.

Description
Ferralium alloy 255-3SF is a high strength, high alloy duplex stainless steel made under the same Patent
which covers the standard Ferralium alloy 255. It has an even more closely controlled composition and heat treatment so as to achieve the optimum corrosion resistance from the alloy system but can be machined and welded as readily as the alloy 255.
This wrought alloy which complements the advanced cast Ferralium alloy 255-3SC has been developed especially for the more critical applications in oil and gas production both offshore and onshore, and in naval ships in fact wherever a high degree of resistance to pitting and crevice attack
in addition to general corrosion resistance is important. Its resistance to acids, notably to sulphuric acid up to about 65% concentration, is also significantly improved so that it is very useful for
handling all kinds of contaminated waters.
Compared with other commercially available duplex alloys such as W.NR 1.4462 (often designated
2205) it has higher strength but retains good ductility and its corrosion resistance is of a significantly hig82

her order in both sea water and acids. Against the conventional high alloy austenitic alloys characterised
by UNS NO8904 it has both higher strength and much better resistance to selective attack, approaching
that of the so-called 6Mo alloys although the PRE (pitting resistance equivalent) values of the latter are
slightly higher. However it must be appreciated that PRE is not an absolute measure and is merely a broad
method of grading by calculation from the Cr, Mo and N contents of the alloy. The PREN value for Ferralium
alloy 255-3SF exceeds 37. As with Ferralium alloy 255, a significant copper content in Ferralium alloy 2553SF enhances the basic corrosion resistance of the high alloy duplex structure (approximately 50:50) controlled by the chromium, molybdenum, nickel and nitrogen contents. In particular, the copper tends to retard pitting and crevice attack and benefits resistance to sulphuric acid.
Ferralium alloy 255-3SF is relatively noble in a galvanic table, comparing with titanium, and has a rest
potential of +0.04 volts (S.C.E.) in 3% Na Cl.
The good resistance to erosion provided by Ferralium alloy 255 is equalled by the alloy 255-3SF, especially in the age-hardened condition.
In the solution-treated condition the hardness of alloy 255-3SF is within the limit set by NACE MR-0175 and Ferralium alloy 255 in the wrought form is now included by name in this Material Recommendation.
The UNS number for Ferralium alloy 255-3SF is S32550.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
Crevice Corrosion
The 300 series austenitic stainless steels are particularly susceptible to a breakdown of their passive film
under crevice conditions in sea water and other corrosive waters. Some highly alloyed ferritic stainless steels resist crevice corrosion attack much more successfully, as can ferritic/austenitic alloys.
Ferralium alloy 255-3SF is even better than wrought Ferralium alloy 255 which already led the field in
resisting this form of attack. For comparison and grading of materials it is widespread practice to use accelerated tests in FeCl3. The table below shows comparisons between Ferralium alloy 255-3SF, some other
wrought duplex alloys and austenitic alloys. The critical crevice temperatures were determined on specimens having a bold (uncovered) to crevice area ratio of approximately 20:1; significant changes in the above ratio may alter the critical crevice temperature.

Pitting Corrosion
The pitting resistance of most duplex stainless steels is superior to that of the standard austenitic alloys
such as types 316 and 317 even in low carbon grades.
Ferralium alloy 255-3SF offers a further advance in pitting resistance compared with Ferralium alloy
255, already outstanding in this respect. The critical pitting temperature of alloy 255-3SF in 3% NaCl solution is compared with some other wrought alloys below.
The results presented in the table may be less than claimed elsewhere for the alloys other than the Ferralium alloys. This can be due to the difference in detail between the precise test methods employed. All

The presence of copper in Ferralium alloy 255-3SF, as in alloy 255, is particularly benefical in aiding the
resistance to initiation and particularly to propagation of pitting attack. A minimum of 1% copper is essential to ensure the optimum resistance to pitting.
Stress Corrosion
The stress corrosion cracking resistance in chloride environments of Ferralium alloy 255-3SF is, in common with standard alloy 255, greatly superior to that of the standard austenitic stainless steels. A considerable amount of test data and service experience with Ferralium alloy 255 has demonstrated the alloys
excellent performance in resisting this form of attack. Alloy 255-3SF is identical in performance to the standard alloy and data can be provided if required.
One factor in handling sea water is that in many situations it may be polluted. For example, harbour water and oil field water may contain considerable amounts of dissolved hydrogen sulphide. This can destroy
the passivation of stainless steels, leading to accelerated pitting, increased propensity to crevice attack and
potentially most damagingly to stress corrosion cracking. The beneficial effect of copper in stabilising the
passive film helps Ferralium alloy 255-3SF to combat these forms of attack and the modified chemistry of
the alloy further improves resistance to the stress corrosion hazard created by the presence of H2S. Where Ferralium alloy 255 is required to meet the requirements of NACE MR-01-75, in which it appears by name, this is satisfied by supplying the alloy in the solution treated and stress-relieved condition.
Acids
Ferralium alloy 255-3SF possesses far superior resistance to sulphuric acid compared with conventional austenitic stainless steels such as type 316. For many years alloy 255 has been used very successfully
in the lower and higher concentrations of sulphuric acid.
The selection chart is based on tests on material machined and later tested rather than on freshly abraded samples. Freshly abraded samples or activated samples may exhibit different rates of corrosion. This
is of particular significance in aggressive non-oxidising acid conditions.
The application of Ferralium alloy 255-3SF in sulphuric acid can be further extended in strongly aerated solutions and in the presence of oxidising substances but it is essential to carry out tests to establish suitability.
The outstanding resistance of Ferralium alloy 255-3SF to commercial phosphoric acid containing impurities such as hydrofluoric acid, chlorides and sulphuric acid combined with its excellent resistance to wear
and erosion renders the alloy of special interest for critical components on pumps, valves and fluid handling equipment generally in the production of fertilizer grade phosphoric acid where hot abrasive slurries are
involved. Ferralium alloy 255-3SF and the cast alloy 255-3SC can often replace more expensive highly alloyed stainless steels and nickel based alloys.
Ferralium alloy 255-3SF will successfully resist a wide range of acid mixtures such as sulphuric/nitric,
phosphoric/nitric and nitric/adipic and is highly resistant to acetic, formic and other organic acids where
halide contamination may be present.

Ferralium 255 & Ferralium SD40 possess outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in marine and seawater environments. They match the resistance of any other superduplex stainless steel and

specifically designed as an offshore grade of superduplex and which has a substantial content of nitrogen
and molybdenum, gives a Pitting Resistance Equivalent (PREN) > 40.0, where PREN = %Cr + 3.3%Mo +

EROSION

Pgina 86

AND WEAR

The resistance of Ferralium alloy 255-3SF to erosion, cavitation and wear is extremely good, being the
same as that of the standard alloy 255. Many established applications utilise this property to advantage
most notably in pumps and valves.
MACHINING
FERRALIUM alloy 255-3SF can be readily machined and although considerably harder than the austenitic stainless steels, the same techniques can generally be used. High speed tools can be used but speeds
can be substantially increased by the use of carbide tipped tools.
In common with many stainless steels and high strength materials, heavy machining on Ferralium alloy
255-3SF can sometimes result in slight movement during subsequent operations. This may be accetuated
by surface work hardening if blunt tools are used.
Whilst this movement is not significant in most cases, components requiring specially close tolerances
should be given a stress relief.
STRESS CORROSION CRACKING
The stress corrosion cracking resistance in chloride environments is far superior to any of the standard
austenitic grades. Ferralium 255 & Ferralium SD40 have been successfully tested to 100% of yield
strength in boiling seawater and the tests have shown that the alloys are not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking, even under these extreme conditions.
CORROSION

IN ACIDS AND SALTS

The corrosion resistance of Ferralium 255, which is designed specifically as a chemical grade superduplex, is generally superior to that of the standard austenitic types in sulphuric, phosphoric, nitric and many other acids and salts. Ferralium 255 is highly resistant to acetic acid, formic acid and
other organic compounds. They are particulary suitable for the higher concentrations and temperatures where pitting and preferential corrosion are common causes of failure with standard austenitics in the presence of chloride and other impurities.
Ferralium 255 & Ferralium SD40 are proprietary super duplex stainless steels, containing approximately 26% chromium, 6% nickel, 1.6% copper, 3.3% molybdenum and 0.24% nitrogen. The materials are the latest refinement of the Ferralium series of superduplex stainless steels and Ferralium
SD40 was specifically introduced to comply with those specifications calling for a Pitting Resistance
Equivalent (PREN) > 40.0.
The main features of Ferralium 255 & Ferralium SD40 are:
Excellent corrosion resistance in a wide variety of corrosive chemicals including sulphuric, phosphoric and nitric acids.
Outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in seawater and other chloride containing
environments, Pitting Resistance Equivalent (PREN) exceeds 40.0.
High strengh compared to austenitic and 22% chrome duplex stainless steels.
Excellent ductility and impact strength at both ambient and sub-zero temperatures.
High resistance to abrasion, erosion and cavitation erosion.
Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride containing environments compared
to standard austenitics.
Since the original Ferralium grade was invented at Langley Alloys in the 1960s, the Ferralium alloy
series have been providing excellent service in a wide variety of corrosive environments. Some of the
existing industries and applications where the alloys have been successfully used are listed below.

HEAT

TREATMENT

The standard solution heat-treatment for Ferralium alloy 255-3SF is carried out at 1060C followed by
rapid quench, preferably in water. Uniformity of temperature within a range of 10C is essential and adequate time should be allowed so as to ensure that the material is fully soaked throughout at the temperature. Quenching should be carried out immediately on removal from the furnace, with the minimum of cooling in air during transfer to the quenche tank.
Stress Relief
This should be carried out by heating to 350C and holding for two hours at temperature followed by air
cool. Depending upon the nature of the component, the extent of machining and the tolerances required,
this treatment may be carried out at one or more stages of the machining cycle.
Ageing
We recommend that ageing heat-treatment is carried out only by the manufacturer, as it requires a very
careful control.
6. Welding properties:
There is very extensive experience in the welding of the standard wrought Ferralium alloy 255 and
Ferralium alloy 255-3SF can be welded equally readily.
It is recommended that only Ferralium alloy 255 HB flux coated electrodes be used to weld Ferralium
alloy 255-3SF. These electrodes have been specially developed to ensure sound welds and satisfactory
properties in the deposited metal. The use of any other electrodes will be most unlikely to result in
welds with both acceptable ductility and the corrosion resistance of the parent metal.
Pre-heat before weldings is not required and maximum interpass temperature is 300C. Heat input should be as low as possible consistent with achieving sound welds.
Ferralium alloy 255-3SF is normally supplied in the solution-treated (and stress relieved) condition,
which is the ideal for welding of the alloy.
Welds in light sections and minor repair welds do not generally require post-weld heat-treatment but
heavy section welds should preferably be given a solution treatment after welding so as to ensure maximum corrosion resistance and ductility.
Carbon steel and standard austenitic stainless steels can be welded to Ferralium alloy 255-3SF using
either Ferralium alloy 255 HB electrodes or one of the specialised electrodes developed for welding of
dissimilar materials.

The above properties for forgings are typical values for section thicknesses up to 300 mm solid or
250 mm in an annulus with a minimum bore of 100 mm. As the properties from forgings are very dependent upon the product route and the actual forging ratio then properties and design are by agreement for other than standard items.
It is not recommended for uses which involve extended exposure to temperatures greater than
300C (572F) as there is a substantial reduction in toughness.
Impact Strength
It has good impact strength. There is no true ductile brittle transition, just a gradual decrease in impact energy as the temperature is lowered. The impact energy varies according to product type and
production route. The impact strength is slightly less than that of parent metal.

5. Characteristics and applications:
This is a highly alloyed duplex stainless steel for use in aggresive environments. Its properties include:

Guaranteed corrosion performance (PREN > 40).


High resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in both chloride and sour environments.
High resistance to erosion corrosion and corrosion fatigue.
Excellent mechanical properties.
Possibilities for weight reduction over austenitic, standard duplex and nickel base alloys.

The combination of the above properties makes the optimum choice in a range of industries. Oil and
gas industry applications include process, seawater, firewater, and subsea pipework systems, with associated risers, manifolds, pressure vessels, valves and heat exchangers. Applications in other industries
include pipework systems and associated engineering equipment for pollution control, pulp and paper, power generation, flue gas desulphurisation, chemical, pharmaceutical, desalination, mining, metallurgical
and marine industries.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
It is highly resistant to corrosion in a wide range of organic and inorganic acids. The copper content gives excellent resistance to corrosion in many non-oxidising acids. Commercial acid applications often contain chlorides and other impurities which can cause corrosion of some stainless steels. It offers much improved corrosion performance in these environments.
It is also highly resistant to strong alkalis. The production of caustic soda results in hot, strong solutions
and even in 60 wt% caustic soda, SD-F55 has very low corrosion rates (<0.1 mm/y). Caustic soda is often
found with chlorides in extraction processes and even with 10g/l chloride, SD-F55 has excellent corrosion
resistance. Three years service experience of fabricated pipework in 2M caustic soda with chlorides at
230C has been excellent.
Pitting Corrosion
Exposure to 6% FeCl3 for 24 hours in accordance with ASTM G48 method A to determine the maximum
temperature at which no pitting occurs (the critical pitting temperature, CPT) has given the following results:
Solution annealed wrought: 70-80C (158-176F) depending on product form and manufacturing route.
These values are for single exposure testing; testing a single specimen at a series of increasing temperatures gives a higher CPT value.
Crevice Corrosion
The resistance to localised corrosion is often assessed by use of the PREN number (%Cr + 3.3%Mo +
16%N). It is made to a minimum PREN of 40, ensuring a guaranteed and high resistance to pitting and cre91

vice corrosion. Has been in service in sea water since 1986 as castings, and since 1989 as wrought pipes and fittings giving satisfactory performance.
At sea water temperatures above ambient (20C) the risk of crevice corrosion increases. Resists crevice corrosion up to 55C but is limited by the pitting resistance of the welds to about 40C. With the application of post weld treatments sea-water temperatures up to 65C have been handled successfully. Short
term elevated temperature upsets are not uncommon in cooling water circuits. Laboratory tests have
shown that does not suffer crevice corrosion easily during short upsets to 70C, and when corrosion does
initiate, repassivation occurs rapidly on cooling, from 42C.
Stress Corrosion Cracking
SD-F55 has excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in both chloride environments, and
process environments containing H2S and CO2.
In brines with lower chloride contents can tolerate much higher pressures of H2S. As the pH, at temperature and pressure, increases, so does the resistance to sulphide SCC.
Hydrogen Embrittlement
In common with all high strength steels, duplex and super duplex stainless steels can be susceptible to
hydrogen embrittlement if stressed above the specified minimum yield strength in the presence of hydrogen.
Hydrogen embrittlement therefore becomes an area for consideration when these steels are used subsea with conventional cathodic protection.
However, the proper application of normal design stress criteria and coating technology has allowed
many subsea projects to utilize duplex and super duplex stainless steels successfully for a number of years.
MANUFACTURING
Heat Treatment
Should be solution annealed in the temperature range 1100-1140C (2012-2084F) followed by water
quenching.
Hot Forming
Hot forming should be carried out in the temperature range 1100C TO 1280C (2012-2336F). It is
recommended that this is followed by solution annealing and water quenching. Components should subsequently be pickled or fully machined.
Cold Forming
It can be adequately cold formed by various processes but the high mechanical properties should be taken into account. It is recommended that any cold work in excess of 10%-15% is removed by solution annealing and water quenching. It should be noted that cold working above these limits can result in hardness
levels above standard.
6. Welding properties:
Good weldability.
Where a solution anneal and quench as a post-weld heat treatment is to be carried out, is usually
welded with matching composition consumables. With overalloyed consumables, no post-weld heat treatment is necessary. Corrosion and mechanical properties similar to the parent metal can be obtained folowing recommended procedures.

5. Characteristics, applications:
Super-Duplex Stainless Steels
The first-generation Duplex stainless steels were developed more than 70 years ago in Sweden for
use in the sulfite paper industry. Duplex alloy were originally created to combat corrosion problems caused by chloride-bearing cooling waters and other aggressive chemical process fluids.
Called Duplex because of its mixed microstructure with about equal proportions of ferrite and austenite, Duplex stainless steels are a family of grades, which range in corrosion performance depending on their
93

alloy content. The term Super-Duplex was first used in the 1980s to denote highly alloyed, high-performance Duplex steel with a pitting resistance equivalent of >40 (based on Cr% + 3.3 Mo% + 16N%).
With its high level of chromium, Super-Duplex steel provides outstanding resistance to acids, acid chlorides, caustic solutions and other environments in the chemical / petrochemical, pulp and paper industries,
often replacing 300 series stainless steel, high nickel superaustenitic steels and nickel-based alloys.
The chemical composition based on high contents of chromium, nickel and molybdenum improves
intergranular and pitting corrosion resistance. Additions of nitrogen promote structural hardening by
interstitial solid solution mechanism, which raises the yield strength and ultimate strength values without impairing toughness. Moreover, the two-phase microstructure guarantees higher resistance to pitting and stress corrosion cracking in comparison with conventional stainless steels.
From the introduction of its first-generation, Duplex steel has seen a steady increase in popularity.
Recently, the production of highstrength, corrosion resistant super-duplex coil has been implemented
in the marine and chemical industries, architecture and mast riggings, wire lines, lifting and pulley
equipment and well service strands. In fact, development of wire processing techniques has enabled
the production of steel wires down to 1 mm in diameter.
The various Alloys
Super-Duplex falls under the Duplex stainless steel grouping. Duplex stainless steels are graded for
their corrosion performance depending on their alloy content. Today, modern Duplex stainless steel can
be divided into four groups:
Lean Duplex such as 2304, which contains no deliberate Mo addition;
2205, the work-horse grade accounting for more than 80% of duplex usage;
25Cr duplex such as Alloy 255 and DP-3;

5. Characteristics, applications:
Alloy 17-4 PH is a martensitic, precipitation-hardening, chromium-nickel-copper stainless steel. It
provides an excellent combination of high strength an hardness, short time, low temperature heat treatment and good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 316C (600F). In addition, it offers corrosion resistance comparable to that of Type 304 in most applications. This grade may be used in either the solution heat treated condition (Condition A) or in one of a variety of precipitation-hardened
conditions, depending on the particular properties desired.
17-4 PH is an age-hardening martensitic alloy combining high strength with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Hardening is achieved by a short-time, simple low-temperature treatment. Unlike
conventional martensitic stainless steels, such as type 410, 17-4 PH is quite weldable. The strength,
corrosion resistance and simplified fabrication can make 17-4 PH a cost-effective replacement for high
strength carbon steels as well as other stainless grades.
Features
High tensile strength and hardness to 600F
(316C).
Corrosion resistant.
Excellent oxidation resistance to about 1100F
(593C).

Fabricable.
Simple low-temperature heat treatment.

Heat Treatment
At the solution treating temperature, 1900F (1040C), the metal is austenitic but undergoes transformation to a low-carbon martensitic structure on cooling to room temperature. This transformation
is not complete until the temperature drops to 90F (32C). Subsequent heating to temperatures of
900 to 1150F (480 to 620C) for one to four hours precipitation strengthens the alloy. This hardening treatment also tempers the martensitic structure, increasing ductility and toughness.
Solution annealing should be performed in air, argon or dry hydrogen. Cracked ammonia and endothermic atmospheres are likely to contaminate the metal. Remove machining oils and forming lubricants
before solution annealing. Plasma cut surfaces should be ground or machined off before heat treatment to avoid possible cracking.
Heat Treatment for 17-4 PH and Their Designation
Designation .............. Processing
Condition A* ............. Heated at 1900F 25F for 1/2 hour, air (Solution treated) cooled or oil
quenched to below 90F. Normally performed at mill.
H 900 ..................... Condition A material heated at 900F 15F for 1 hour and air cooled. Maximum hardness but low toughness. Sensitive to stress corrosion cracking. Heating 4 hours improves toughness with about 4 ksi reduction in tensile and
yield.
H 925, H 1025, ...... Condition A material heated 4 hours at specified temperature, and air cooled.
H 1075, H 1100
H 1150,H 1150-M ... Condition A material heated at 1400 25F for 2 hours, air cooled, then heated at 1150 15F for 4 hours and air cooled. This heat treatment used for
maximum toughness, and for cryogenic applications to -320F.
*

For most applications 17-4 PH should not be used in Condition A. This is true even though the desired tensile strength may be
provided by that condition. While the alloy is relatively soft in Condition A, the structure is untempered martensite that has low
fracture toughness and ductility, with poor resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. Superior service performance is assured
by using 17-4 HP in the heat-treated condition.

Dimension change in hardening 17-4 PH undergoes a volume-contraction when it is hardened. This


produces a predictable change in dimensions that must be taken into consideration if parts made of
17-4 PH must be manufactured to close tolerances.
The dimensional contraction in hardening Condition A material to Cond. H 900 amounts to 0.00040.0006 inches per inch. Hardening to cond. H 1150 produces a contraction of 0.0008-0.0010 inches per inch. Dimensional changes for other conditions are proportional.

6. Welding properties:
Sections up to 1 thick are normally welded in the annealed (A) condition. Highly restrained joints or
heavier sections are best welded in conditiones H1100 or H1150. Welding of 17-4 PH in conditions
H900 through H1075 is not recommended.
No preheat is usually necessary for sections up to 4 thick. For restrained welds a 200-300F (100150C) preheat is beneficial.
Matching composition ER630 wire or E630 covered electrodes (AMS 5803, 5825 or 5827) are
normally used. Joints to carbon or low alloy steel may be made with ERNiCr-3 wire or ENiCrFe-3 covered electrodes. For GMAW, 75%Ar 25%He shielding gas is suggested.
Postweld heat treatment is required. For single pass welds on condition A base metal, simply aging
to codition H 900 through H 1150 usually suffices (H 900 condition has very low notch toughness).
For multipass welds the structure should be solution annealed after welding, followed by an aging treatment 900-1150F.
Notches must be avoided and partial penetration welds with their built-in notches are quite undesirable. For improved notch toughness in the weld bead, consider making the root pass only with ERNiCr3 (alloy 82) wire to maximize ductility.

5. Applications, characteristics:
B-3 alloy is an additional member of the nickel-molybdenum family of alloys with excellent resistance to
hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures. It also withstands sulfuric, acetic, fomic and
phosphoric acids, and other nonoxidizing medis. B-3 alloy has a special chemistry designed to achieve a level of thermal stability greatly superior to that of its predecessore, e.g. HASTELOY B-2 alloy. B-3 alloy has
excellent resistance to pitting corrosion cracking and to knife-line and heat-affected zone attack.
Fabrication
The improved thermal stability of B-3 alloy minimizes the problems associaled with fabrication of
B-2 alloy components. This is due to the reduced tendency to precipitate deleterious intermetalic
102

Pgina 103

phases in B-3 alloy, thereby, affording it greater ductility than B-2 alloy during and following various
thermal cycling conditions.
B-3 alloy has good overall forming. It may be forget or otherwise hotworked, providing that it is held
at 2250F (1230C) for a time sufficient to bring the entire piece to temperature. Since it is low carbon alloy, the use of lower hot finishing temperatures may be necesary to achieve grain size control.
B-3 alloy may also be formed by cold working. Although it does work-harden somewhat rapidly, B-3
alloy components can be made using all common cold forming techniques.
Limited tests in boiling 20 percent hydrochloric acid indicate that the uniform corrosion resistance
of B-3 alloy is not affected by cold reductions up to 50 percent as compared to that of the alloy in the
solution heat-treated condition.
B-3 alloy can be welded by all common welding techniques, although oxyacetylene and submerged
arc welding processes are not recommended when the fabricated item is to be used in corrosive service. Special precautions should be taken to avoid excessive heat input.
Heat Treatment
All wrought forms of B-3 alloy are furnished in the solution heatreated condition unless otherwise
specified, B-3 alloy is solution heat- treated al 1950F (1065C) and rapid quenched, except for bright
annealed sheet or heat-treated at 2100F (1150C) and cooled in hydrogen.
Applications
B-3 alloy is suitable for use in all applications previously requiring the use of B-2 alloy. Like B-2 alloy,
B-3 is not recommended for use in the presence of ferric or cupric salts as these salts may cause rapid corrosion fallure. Ferric or cupric salts may develop when hydrochloric acid comes in contact with
iron or copper.

5. Characteristics and applications:


Alloy C-276 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy having perhaps the broadest general corrosion
resistance of all commonly used alloys. It was developed initially for use with wet chlorine, but it also
offers excellent resistance to strong oxidizers such as cupric and ferric chlorides, and to a variety of chlorine compounds and chlorine contaminated materials.
This alloy is used extensively to combat the high temperature and high presure corrosive conditions
encountered in drilling for sour petroleum deposits and in other oil field applications.
This alloy is characterised by:
excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive media, under oxidising and reducing conditions
outstanding resistance to localised corrosion such as pitting and crevice corrosion, as well as to
chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking

109

CATALOGO

14/11/05

Pgina 110

Applications
Alloy C-276 finds wide application in the chemical and petrochemical industries.
Typical applications include:

flue gas desulphurisation systems


organic syntheses involving acid choride catalysts
MDI and TDI production
vinyl chloride monomer production
production of hydrofluoric acid
sulphuric acid coolers
chlorine driers
production tubing in corrosive oil and gas wells
melamine production
methionine synthesis
pickling baths
aramide plastics production

Alloy C-276 is the improved version of alloy C and is resistant to numerous media including strongly oxidizing chemicals (for example iron and cupric chloride) warm polluted acids, solvents, chloride and media
contaminated by chloride (organic and inorganic), dry chloride, formic and acetic acid, acetic anhydride,
sea water and saline solutions. Furthemore, alloy C-276 is resistant when exposed to damp chlorine gas,
hypochlorite and chlorodioxide solutions. Alloy C-276 combines this excellent corrosion resistance with immensely improved machineability. This alloy does not separate grain boundaries in the zone influenced by
welding so that it is suited for most chemical applications even without heat-tratament.
Alloy C-276 is a nickel-chromium alloy with high molybdenum and tungsten but low iron and silicon
contents, which provides superior corrosion resistance to a wide variety of environments. The composition is specially formulated to maintain corrosion resistance, even in the weld heat-affected zone, thus
making Alloy 276 suitable even in the as-welded condition. The alloy has excellent resistance to general pitting and stress-corrosion cracking and resists oxidation up to approximately 1038C (1900F).
The alloy has shown remarkable corrosion resistance in the especially corrosive areas of flue gas desulphurisation systems, such as outlet ducting leading to the stack. It has also been used to solve corrosive problem areas in sewage treatment plants.
Alloy C-276 is used extensively in severe operating enviroments, including those encountered in chemical processing, pulp and paper, air pollution control, waste treatment and other disposal, and other

5. Characteristics and applications:


An alloy with outstanding resistance to a wide range of severe corrosive environments, including hot
acids. It is also very resistant to stress-corrosion craking in hot chloride and alkaline solutions and to
pitting and crevice corrosion. Applications include fasteners and chemical process equipment.
C-4 alloy is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with outstanding high temperature stability as evidenced by high ductility and corrosion resistance even after aging in the 1200 to 1900F (649 to
1038C) range. This alloy resists the formation of grain-boundary precipitates in the weld heat-affected
zone, thus making it suitable for most chemical process applications in the as-welded condition C-4 alloy
also has excellent resistance to stress-corrosion cracking and to oxidizing atmospheres up to 1900F
(1038C).
C-4 alloy has exceptional resistance to wide variety of chemical process enviroments. These include hot contaminated mineral acids, solvents, chloride and chlorine contaminated media (organic and
inorganic), dry chlorine, formic and acetic acids, acetic anhydride, and seawater and brine solutions.
Laboratory precipitation studies on C-4 alloy indicate that the intermetallic precipitates (Mu phase)
associated with other nickel alloys in the 1200 to 2000F (649 to 1093C) temperature range have
not been detected. Fine intergranular M6C carbides can form but their damaging effect is minimal.
C-4 alloy can be forged, hot-upset, and impact extruded. Although the alloy tends to work-harden,
it can be successfully deep-drawn, spun, press formed or punched. All of the common methods of welding can be used to weld C-4 alloy, although the oxy-acetylene and submerged are processes are not

Performance Profile
A-330 is the workhorse of the heat resistant alloys. It has good strength, carburization and oxidation resistance to about 2200F. These properties are enhanced by a nominal 1,25% silicon addition.
330 has been designed to withstand the thermal shock of liquid quenching.
A-330 finds wide application in high temperature industrial environments where good resistance to
the combined effects of carburization and thermal cycling is a prime requisite. A-330 remains fully austenitic at all temperatures and is not subject to embrittlement from sigma formation.
A-330 is worked by forming and machining procedures similar to those used with the austenitic
stainless steels or nickel-chromium alloys. Forming at room temperature is suggested whenever possible. Heat treatment is not necesary after most forming or welding operations. When required, the
suggested full anneal is 1900-2050F, rapid air cool or water quench.
Machinability rating 20-25% of B1112.
A-330 is highly resistant to chloride ion stress corrosion cracking and is a useful engineering choice for those applications where common stainless has failed by stres corrosion.

5. Characteristics and applications:


Alloy 800 is an iron-nickel-chromium alloy with moderate strenght and good resistance to oxidation
and carburization at elevated temperatures. It is particularly useful for high-temperature equipment in
the petrochemical industry because the alloy does not form the embrittling sigma phase after long time exposure at 1200F (649C). Excellent resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking is another
important feature of alloy 800.
Applications
Typical application for aloy 800 are - Heat exchangers and process piping; carburizing fixtures and
retorts; furnace components; electric range heating-element sheathing; extruded tubing for ethylene
and steam methane reforming furnaces; ammonia effluent coolers.

5. Characteristics and applications:
Alloy 800H is an austenitic heat resistant alloy mean for high temperature structural applications.
The strength of 800H is achieved by controlled levels of carbon, aluminum and titanium alone with a
2100F (1149C) minimum anneal to achieve grain size ASTM5 or coarser.
Alloy 800H is essentially the same as Alloy 800, except that the carbon content is maintained at the
upper portion of the carbon range of the alloy.
This, combined with an annealing treatment that produces a coarser grain size, provides an alloy
of higher creep and rupture strength.
These features, in addition to the alloys good high-temperature corrosion resistance, produce an
alloy that is most useful for application requiring long-time operation at elevated temperatures and/or
in corrosive atmospheres.

800H is commonly joined by 82 (ERNiCr-3) bare wire for applications under 1450F (788C). 33004 (N08334) bare wire and 330-04-15 (W88334) covered electrodes offer a close match of thermal
expansion coefficients. For applications 1600F (871C) and higher 333 (N06333) bare wire and 33307-16 covered electrodes offer greater strenght.
To avoid possible stress relaxation grain boundary cracking of N08811 in applications above 1000F
(538C) the welded fabrication may be heated 1650F (899C) for about one hour per inch (25mm) of
thickness, 30 minutes minimum, air cooled.

5. Characteristics and applications:


The high nickel and chromium contents of Alloy 800HT ensure excellent resistance to oxidation. The
alloy is also very resistant to carburisation, nitriding and oxidising sulphur-bearing atmospheres.
The protective oxide film wich is formed is adherent in both static and cyclic conditions of heating
and cooling, and resistance to carburisation is enhanced when a thin film of oxide is first formed on the
alloy.
Resistance to hydrogen is excellent and alloy 800HT is a standard material used in the prodution
of hydrogen in steam / hydrocarbon reforming processes.
Application
Due to high strength during long periods of service and resistance to carburisation and nitriding,
Alloy 800HT has found many applications in steam/hydrocarbon reforming, for components such as:

INCOLOY alloy 825 has good mechanical properties from cryogenic temperatures to moderately
high temperatures. Exposure to temperatures above about 1000 F (540 C) can result in microstructural changes (phase formation) that significantly lower ductility and impact strength. For that reason,
the alloy is not normally used at temperatures where creep-rupture properties are desing factors.
High-temperature tensile properties are shown. The tests were conducted on cold-drawn rod of
0,75-in. (19-mm) diameter annealed at 1725 F (940 C)/1 h.

5. Applications, characteristics:
Alloy 825 is a thermally stabilized alloy which is resistant to both inorganic and organic acids. It has
excellent resistance to oxidizing and nonoxidizing hot acid conditions and at temperatures up the boiling
point it is resistant to many acids and alkaline solutions.
INCOLOY alloy 825 is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum, copper, and titanium. The alloys chemical composition, is designed to provide exceptional resistance to many corrosive environments. The nickel content is sufficient for resistance to chloride-ion stress.
Corrosion cracking. The nickel, in conjunction with the molybdenum and copper, also gives outstanding resistance to reducing environments such as those containing sulfuric and phosphoric acids. The
molydbenum also aids resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The alloys chromium content confers resistance to a variety of oxidizing substances such as nitric acid, nitrates, and oxidizing salts. The
titanium addition serves, with an appropriate heat treatment, to stabilize the alloy against sensitization
to intergranular corrosion.
The resistance of INCOLOY alloy 825 to general and localized corrosion under diverse conditions gives the alloy broad usefulness. Applications include chemical processing, polution control, oil and gas
recovery, acid production, pickling operations nuclear fuel reprocessing, and handling of radioactive
wastes.
Corrosion Resistance
INCOLOY alloy 825 is well known for resistance to sulfide corrosion and chloride-ion stress-corrosion
cracking, acid attack, and hydrogen embrittlement cracking. Because it combines corrosion resistance and strength, INCOLOY alloy 825 makes an excellent choice for long-term use with sour crudes and
gases.
Hydrogen Sulfide
INCOLOY alloy 825 is used to resist the corrosive conditions in sour gas and oil wells. The environments include hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide in sour crude and gas at high temperatures and
pressures. Table 4 shows the performance of the alloy in a test (NACE test) used to evaluate alloys for
such service. The test consists of exposure of stressed, steel-coupled C-rings to a room-temperature
solution of 5% sodium chloride whith 0,5% acetic acid and saturated with hydrogen sulfide. The specimens of INCOLOY alloy 825 were stressed at 100% of yield strength (0,2% offset). No failure occurred
in the test period of 48 or 50 days.
The result of similar, but more severe tests are given in Table 5. Stressed C-rings were exposed to
the test solutions at high temperatures in pressurized autoclaves. The overpressure gas contained hydrogen sulfide or hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. No cracking of INCOLOY alloy 825 occured in
these tests with specimens stressed at 90% of yield strenght.

Stress-Corrosion Cracking
An important property of INCOLOY alloy 825 is its relative freedom from stress-corrosion cracking.
The resistance of austenitic alloys to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking depends on nickel content.
INCOLOY alloy 825 contains sufficient nickel (42%) for a high degree of resistance to cracking in chloride environments. Table 6 shows the performance of the alloy in boiling 45% magnesium chloride. The
test were performed on stressed U-bend specimens.
Sea water
INCOLOY alloy 825 has good resistance to general corrosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion in sea
water, although it is subject to biological fouling in continuous immersion. The alloy is also highly resistant to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking even in hot sea water.

Intergranular Corrosion
Like other nickel-iron-chromium alloys, INCOLOY alloy 825 can be sensitized to intergranular corrosion in some aggressive oxidizing media. However, INCOLOY alloy 825 contains an addition of titanium,
which, during an appropriate heat treatment, stabilizes the alloy against such sensitization. The mechanisms of sensitization and stabilization for the alloy have been reported. Sensitization of unstabilized material can result from exposure to temperatures of 1200 to 1400 F (650 to 760 C) during welding
or service.
Susceptibility to intergranular attack is commonly measured by the Huey Test. It consists of exposure to boiling 65% nitric acid for five consecutive 48-h periods. An average corrosion rate of less than
3 mils per month (36 mpy) (0,91 mm/y) for the five periods is considered to be satisfactory performance. Substantially higher rates indicate sensitization of the material.
FABRICATION
Hot and cold forming
The hot-working range for INCOLOY alloy 825 is 1600 to 2150 F (870 C to 1180 C). For optimum corrosion resistance, final hot working should be done at temperatures between 1600 and 1800
F (870 and 980 C)
Cooling after hot working should be air cool or faster. Heavy sections may become sensitized during
cooling from the hot-working temperature, and therefore be subject to intergranular corrosion in certain media. A stabilizing anneal (see above) restores resistance to corrosion. If material is to be welded
or subjected to further thermal treatment and sudsequently exposed to an environment that may cause intergranular corrosion, the stabilizing anneal should be performed regardless of cooling rate from
the hot-working
Cold-forming properties and practices are essentially the same for INCOLOY alloy 825 as for INCONEL alloy 600. Although workhardening rate is somewhat less than for the common grades of austenitic stainless steels, it is still relatively high. Forming equipment should be well powered and strongly
built to compensate for the increase in yield strength with plastic deformation.
Annealing
Work-hardened material can be softened completely by annealing. The treatment requires exposure to
a sufficient temperature for a time long enough to cause full recrystallization of the workhardened grain struture. That removes all of the stresses, softens the material, and decreases mechanical strength.
Recrystallization is a function of time, temperature and amount of cold work as well as alloy composition.
Grain growth occurs when material is heated at higher temperatures or for longer times than those required for recrystallization. Although that results in further softening, a coarse grain structure is
unsuitable for some cold-forming operations and many service conditions (for example, a fine grain is
usually required for good fatigue strength).
A coarse grain cannot be refined in the high-nickel alloys by thermal treatment alone. It can be removed only by cold working to a degree that will result in recrystallization to a finer grain during subsequent annealing. If coarse grain is desired, or if maximum softness is required and coarse grain is not
harmful to the application, the material can be given a solution anneal. Solution annealing, or solution
treating, is performed by heating at temperatures in the upper part of the annealing range. The treatment is also used to dissolve the hardening elements in precipitation-hardenable alloys prior to aging.

Annealing temperatures are critical in maintaining the high degree of corrosion resistance for wich
INCOLOY alloy 825 was designed. For this reason, material leaving the mill has been carefully processed to provide maximum corrosion resistance. Therefore, during subsequent working, interstage and
final anneals should be limited to the 1700 to 1800 F (930 to 980 C) range, consistent with selected time and prior cold work. The optimum temperature for stabilization in considered to be 1725 F
(940 C) whereas 1800 F (980 C) provides the optimum combination of softness and fine grain
structure without sacrificing corrosion resistance. Quenching is usually not necessary for parts of thin
cross section such as those from sheet, strip and wire, but rapid cooling may be desired to avoid sensitization in heavier sections.
Prior to any heat treatment, normal precautions should be taken to remove all lubricants, shop soil,
and markings which could induce intergranular attack and embrittlement.
APPLICATIONS
Alloy 825 is employed for phosphoric acid evaporators, pickiling vats, plants for chemical processing, propeller shafts, transportation means for corrosive media, polution control, oil and gas recovery,
acid production and handling of radioactive wastes.

5. Characteristics and applications:


Profile
A-286 is an age-hardenable iron base superalloy for applications requiring high strength from -320F
up to 1000F long time, 1300-1500F short time. Oxidation resistance is high for continuous service to
1500F, intermittent to 1800F. Aqueous corrosion resistance is comparable to 316 L stainless.
Typical heat treatments are to solution anneal at either 1650F 2 hours or 1800F 1 hour, quench, followed by aging 1325F for 16hours, air cool. The 1650F solution treatment results in a finer grain size
and superior short time tensile properties at room and elevated temperatures. A two cycle aging treatment is occasionally specified after the 1650F solution treatment. This is 1300-1400F 16 hours air cool plus 1200F 8-12 hours air cool. It is intended to improve notch rupture strength. The 1800F solution
treatment develops a slightly coarser grain size with superior creep-rupture properties.

5. Characteristics and applications:
Alloy 600 is a nickel-base alloy with excellent carburization, and good oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The alloy has long been used in the heat treating industry for many of the same application as 330.
Alloy 600 has useful resistance to dry Cl2 and HCl gases at moderately elevated temperatures. Alloy
600 is not suggested for use at red heat when sulfur is present.
Grades 200 and 201 nickel are normally preferred for handling concentrated, high temperature
caustic. However, when sulfur compounds are present as well, or for ammonium hydroxide service,
600 is suggested. Alloy 600 is subject to stress corrosion cracking in hot, concentrated caustic alkalies. To avoid stress corrosion cracking, the 600 fabrication should be fully stress relieved prior to use.
A minium treatment of 1650F 1 hour is sugested, 1800-1850F 1 hour preferred.
Alloy 600 shows moderate resistance to mineral acid and good resistance to acetic, formic, stearic and other organic acids.
133

CATALOGO

14/11/05

13:35

Pgina 134

Excellent resistance is shown in high purity water, as used in the primary and secondary circuits of
some nuclear reactors.
Alloy 600 is particularly resistant to attack by dry chlorine or hydrogen chloride, even at temperatures up to 650C (1200F).
At high temperatures in air the annealed and solution treated alloys show good resistance to oxide
scaling and have high strength.
The alloy also resists ammonia bearing atmospheres, as well as nitrogen and carburising gases. Under alternating oxidising and reducing conditions this alloy may suffer from selective oxidation (green
rot).
Applications
Typical applications include:
thermocouple sheathing in aggressive atmospheres
vinychloride monomer production; resistance to chlorine, hydrogen chloride, oxidation and carburisation
conversion of uranium oxide to hexafluoride; resistance to attack by hydrogen fluoride
production and use of caustic alkalis, particularly in the presence of sulphur compounds
production of organic and inorganic chlorinated and fluorinated compounds, resistance to attack
by chlorine and fluorine
nuclear reactor components
heat treatment furnace retorts and components, particularly with carburising or nitriding atmospheres
catalyst regenerators in petrochemical production
production of titanium dioxide by the chlorine route.

5. Characteristics and applications:


Alloy 601 is a nickel-chromium alloy, highly resistant to oxidation through 2200F. Alloy 601 develops
a tightly adherent oxide scale which resists spalling even under conditions of severe thermal cycling. The
alloy has good high temperature strength, and retains its ductility after long service exposure.
Alloy 601 has good hot corrosion resistance, under oxidizing conditions. However 601 is not suggested for use in strongly reducing sulfur bearing environments.
For maximum oxidation resistance, alloy 601 should be welded with matching composition 601
GTAW wire. For GMAW, 333 welding wire has been used. The weld fillers developed for alloy 602 CA
can provide a weld wich is stronger and more oxidation resistant than the 601 base metal.
Corrosion Resistance
An important property of Alloy 601 is resistance to oxidation at temperatures up to 1180C
(2160F). Even under severe conditions, such as under cyling heating and cooling, Alloy 601 retains a
tightly adherent oxide layer which is very resistant to spalling.

Pgina 138

High resistance to corrosive attack by mineral acids, such as nitric phosphoric, sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, as well as to alkalis and organic acids in both oxidising and reducing conditions.
Alloy 625 is used both for its high strength and outstanding aqueous corrosion resistance. The strength
of 625 is primarily a solid solution effect from molybdenum and columbium. Alloy 625 has excellent weldability, and is frequently used to weld AL-6XN. Matching filler metals are also used to join dissimilar metals.
Alloy-625 is a low-carbon nickel-chromium-molybdenum-niobium alloy which shows excellent resistance to a variety of corrosive media.
Due to its low carbon content and stabilising heat treatment, Alloy 625 shows little tendency to sensitisation even after 50 hours at temperatures in the range 650-900 C (1200-1650 F).
The alloy is supplied in the soft-annealed condition for applications involving wet corrosion, and is approved by TUV for pressure vessels in the temperature range 196 to 450C (321 to 840 F).
The mechanical properties of Alloy 625 can be increased by age-hardening.
This alloy is characterised by:

outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, impingement corrosion and intergranular attack.
almost complete freedom from chloride-induced stress-corrosion cracking.
good resistance to mineral acids, such as nitric, phosphoric, sulphuric and hydrochloric acids.
good resistance to alkalis and organic acids.
good mechanical properties.
in special high-temperature applications where very high strength and creep values are required,
the high-carbon, solution treated version (Alloy 625, grade 2) should be used.
virtual immunity to chloride-induced stress-corrosion cracking.
practically no corrosive attack in marine and industrial atmospheres. High resistance to seawater and brackish water, even at high temperatures.
no sensitisation during welding.
good resistance to carburisation and to oxidation under static and cyclic conditions, and to chlorine containing gases.

Applications
The soft annealed, low carbon Alloy 625 is widely used in chemical process technology, as its good
corrosion resistance and high strength permit the use of thin structural parts. Alloy 625 is used for
structures in contact with seawater and subject to high mechanical stresses.

flue gas scrubber components.


chimney linings.
superphosphoric acid production equipment. nuclear waste reprocessing equipment.

5. Characteristics and applications:


Alloy 718 is a precipitation hardenable nickel based alloy with high strength, good corrosion resistance, ease of formability and can be welded with good resistance to strain-age cracking. The major
melting route is vacuum induction melting followed by consumable electrode re-melting.
Alloy 718 was initially developed for the aerospace industry but the oil field technology companies realised its benefits of high strength and corrosion resistance and the alloy is now recognised as one of
the most important nickel based alloys in this industry.
The aerospace specifications calls for heat treatments designed to give maximum strength, creep
rupture resistance and hardness. This hardness of approximately 44-46 Rockwell C is in contravention
of the hardness limit of 40 Rockwell C imposed by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers in
194 (NACE MR-01-75).
The mechanical properties on this page are typical of most oil field equipment companies' requirements. In order to obtain the requirements of high strength with maximum hardness of 40 Rockwell C,
specialised heat treatments and production processes, especially in the manufacture of bar below 2"
diameter, are required.

718

CATALOGO

14/11/05

Pgina 140

The major applications of Alloy 718 in the oil field industry are Gate Valves, Choke Stems, Fasteners,
Tubing Hangers and Fire Safe Valves.
Alloy 718 i also used for hotworking shear blades, extrusion-dies and liners where conventional tool steels do not have sufficient strength at the high extrusion temperatures required.
Features
Good mechanical properties tensile, fatigue and creep-rupture
Oxidation resistant throughout its useful temperature range
Resistant to aqueous corrosion and chloride ion stress corrosion cracking
Heat Treatment
718 alloy is strengthened by a precipitation hardening reaction involving columbium, titanium, aluminum and nickel, with a degree of solid solution strengthening by molybdenum. Two commonly used heat treatments are:
Anneal 1700-1850 F air cool or faster. Age 1325 F 8 hr, furnace cool to 1150 F, hold at 1150
F for a total aging time of 18 hr, air cool.
Size change in hardening annealed 718 will show a contraction of 0.0008 inch/inch after precipitation hardening.
Anneal 1900-1950 F, air cool or faster. Age 1400 F 10 hr, furnace cool to 1200 F, hold at
1200 F for a total aging time of 18 hr, air cool.
The 1700-1850 F treatment is optimum for rupture and notch rupture strength, and rupture ductility. This treatment develops the highest room temperature tensile and yield strengths, but with somewhat reduced transverse ductility. Because of a fine grain size this anneal is used for high cycle fatigue strength.
The 1900-1950 F treatment improves transverse tensile ductility, impact strength and low-temperature notch tensile strength. The disadvantages of this treatment are notch brittleness in stress
rupture and, because the higher temperature anneal develops a coarser grain size, reduced fatigue
strength.
Applications:
Gas turbine engine parts. Liquid fuel rocket motor components, springs, fasteners, cryogenic tanks.

5. Characteristics and applications:


Alloy X750 is a precipitation hardenable nickel-chromium alloy used for its corrosion and oxidation
resistance and high strength at temperatures to 704 C (1300 F). Although much of the effect of precipitation hardening is lost with increasing temperature over 704 C (1300 F), heat- treated material
has useful strength up to 982 C (1800 F). Alloy X-750 also has excellent properties down to cryogenic temperatures.
Depending on the application and the properties desired, various heat treatments are employed. For
service above 593 C (1100 F), particulary where loads are to be sustained for long times, optimum
properties are achieved by solution treating (1148 C, 2100 F) plus stabilization treating (843 C,
1550 F) plus precipitation treating (ageing) (704 C, 1300 F).
Applications:
The major oil field application for Alloy X-750 is seal rings for connectors and fire safe valves and
choke stems. The mechanical properties detailed are typical of the major oil field equipment companies'

This alloy is one of the few metallic materials which can be used in contact with fluorine, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen fluoride or their derivatives.
Alloy 400 shows very high resistance to caustic alkalies. Behaviour in seawater is also excellent,
with improved resistance to cavitation corrosion compared with copper-base alloys. It can be used in
contact with dilute solutions of mineral acids such as sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, particularly if
they are air-free. However, as the alloy contains no chromium, corrosion rates may be increased significantly in oxidising conditions.
Whilst Alloy 400 can be considered immune to chloride-ion stress cracking, it can stress crack in
the presence of mercury or in most aerated HF vapours. A stress relieving heat treatment is applied in
such cases.

5. Characteristics and applications:


Alloy K-500 is a nickel-copper alloy with age-hardening properties imparted by alloying additions of
aluminium and titanium. Its basic composition is similar to that of Alloy 400 but the alloying additions
make it age hardenable under controlled conditions of temperature and time.
The alloy can be delivered in the annealed, stress equalised, hot finished or age-hardened conditions.
This alloy is characterised by:
excellent corrosion resistance in an extensive range of natural and chemical environments
excellent resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking
very high strength and hardness

Pgina 146

Excellent resistance is shown to a wide range of media from pure water to mineral acids, salts and
alkalis. Alloy K-500 is virtually immune to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking. In the aged condition,
the alloy may be susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking in moist, aerated hydrofluoric acid vapour at
stresses near the yield strength.
In high velocity seawater and in marine atmospheres, good resistance is shown but, in slow moving or
stagnant seawater, pitting may occur. Alloy K-500 also shows good resistance in sour-gas environments.
Applications
Alloy K-500 finds wide application in the marine, chemical, petrochemical and shipbuilding industries.

Introduction:
The tantalum has been accepted as a preferred material for a wide variety of applications.
Tantalum is not a new material. Its first commercial use at the turn of the century was as filaments
in light bulbs. Later, when it became apparent that tantalum was practically inert to attack by most
acids, applications in the laboratory and in the chemical and medical industries were developed. The
rise of the electronics industry accelerated the development of many new applications.
Much of this growth can be attributed to a broader range of tantalum powders and mill products
available from the producers and increasing utilization of tantalum's unique properties high melting
point, ability to form a dielectric oxide film and chemical inertness. Encouraging these applications, new
reduction, melting, and fabrication techniques have led to higher purities, higher reliabilities and improved yields to finished products.
Physical Properties:
Pure tantalum has a body centered cubic crystal lattice. There is no allotropic transformation to the
melting point which means that unalloyed tantalum cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Additions of
oxygen, carbon or nitrogen above normal levels, either purposefully or accidentally, are considered as
alloying additions no matter what the concentration.

Mechanical properties:
The room temperature mechanical properties of tantalum are dependent on chemical purity,
amount of reduction in cross-sectional area and temperature of final annealing. Annealing time does
not appear to be critical. Close control over the many parameters which affect mechanical properties
are mandatory to insure reproducible mechanical behavior.

Tantalum can be strengthened only by cold work with resulting loss in ductility. As certain residual impurities have pronounced effects on ductility levels and metallurgical behaviour, the purpose of most consolidation techniques is to make the material as pure as possible. Cold working methods are used almost
without exception to preclude the possibility of embrittlement by exposure to oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and
hydrogen at even moderate temperatures. Temperatures in excess of 800F should be avoided.

METALLURGICAL CONDITION ... There are basically three structures which can be ordered: (1)
unannealed, (2) stress-relieved, and (3) annealed.
Unannealed ... In the unannealed condition, the structure will be typically wrought fibrous. Yield and
tensile strength will be increased with corresponding decreases in elongation as shown in Table III. The
amount of work-hardening will be dependent on the amount of cold reduction since the last anneal. The
rate of work-hardening is rapid for the first 30% of reduction. The rate then diminishes so that there
will be no appreciable strengthening until reductions of over 90% are taken. There is actually no limit
to the amount of cold work which the metal can take; there are only equipment limitations or mechanical limitations, such as, poor shape control in rolling or excessive thinning when forming which dictate periodic heat treatment in vacuum to soften the metal.
Unannealed tantalum may be preferred for machinability although our providers machinists indicate
no preference. Corrosion behavior is not affected nor is the susceptibility to interstitial contamination
changed. Unannealed sheet .030" thick and under can make a 1 x thickness bend, but the annealed
condition is preferred when bending since the metal is not as stiff or as springy.

Stress-Relieved ... Stress-relieving at 1850 F in vacuum reduces yield and tensile strengths and raises elongation levels. These properties will be intermediate between annealed and unannealed. Stressrelieving has been used more as a matter of expediency than design. Fabricators need some ductility
to allow them to roll tubes into tube sheets. Until recently, the only tubular heat treating vacuum furnaces were limited to 1850 F maximum. This equipment limitation dictated the use of stress-relieving.
As newer furnaces allowing full annealing in vacuum are now on stream, stress-relieving may gradually
fall into disuse.
Annealed ... Tantalum specified in the annealed condition is in its softest, most ductile condition. The
usual objective of the procedure is to choose an annealing temperature which will result in compIete
recrystallization but avoid excessive grain growth. This temperature will be about 2150 F 75 F. The
temperature for recrystallization is, however, considerably affected by the purity and amount of cold
work prior to annealing.
When the amount of reduction is limited, complete recrystallization is very difficult unless the annealing
temperature is substantially increased. Purity is at the core of this problem. Unless sufficient work (about
75% reduction) is put into the material, tantalum does not have the impurities present to act as nucleation sites for grain growth unless an inordinate amount of energy in the form of annealing heat is added.
This will result in recrystallization, but to a very large grain size. The larger the cross-section, the more severe is this problem. Recrystallization to a finer grain size becomes more readily obtainable. The tensile
test is normally used to determine the state of anneal. ASTM specifications for annealed tantalum are
shown in Table IV.
This test is backed by hardness tests, Olsen cups, and grain size determinations to insure product
quality. The Olsen test is particularly effective for thin sheet as tensile test elongations decrease as a
function of material thickness. The Olsen cup has the added advantage of detecting any strong directionality tendencies or to show orange peel indicating a coarse grain. (See Table V).

Tantalum sheet develops directionality if a producer does not choose his rolling and annealing schedules with care. Directionality is a term used to describe non-uniform sheet properties in the rolling direction and transverse to the rolling direction. Sheet with directionality has reduced elongations in the
transverse direction which may affect performance in spinning and deep drawing operations. When
these metal working functions are to be performed, it is helpful for the user to so specify when ordering the material.

FORMING ... Tantalum in the annealed condition is an extremely ductile material. Unusually high reductions without annealing are possible because of its low rate of work hardening characteristics. Tubing 11/16" diameter with a 1/8" wall by 16" long has been drawn from circular blanks without annealing in a series of seven draws. It is nevertheless recommended that the producer be advised when
spinning or drawing is planned.
Spinning ... Successful tantalum spinning can be accomplished using conventional spinning techniques. The slow work hardening rate permits repeated drafts without in process anneals, unless unusually severe formations are to be attempted. Spinning thinner material such as .010" or .020" thick
may have to be annealed more often.
Mandrels should be made of steel or aluminum bronze. Hardwood and composition mandrels are
usually too soft to permit sufficient ironing for good surface finish. If steel mandrels are used, bottoms
should be faced with aluminium bronze to prevent galling of the blank. Steel roller wheels or yellow
brass tools are used with generous amounts of yellow soap. A commercial compound, Warren's Spinning Compound #1, has been found to offer good lubricating characteristics for tantalum.
Deep Drawing ... Although tantalum is a soft, ductile metal, certain precautions are suggested for
optimum results. Conventional reductions are possible provided due allowance is made for tantalum's
galling characteristics. The metal will have more of a tendency to seize on the punch and/or draw ring.
This friction may result in premature failure unless lubrication is generous. Aluminum bronze is recommended for the draw ring when justified.
154

CATALOGO

14/11/05

13:35

Pgina 155

The metal can be stretched and ironing is feasible with aluminum bronze dies. As in any deep drawing operation, some experimentation with holddown, punch and draw ring radii and clearance may be
necessary to prevent wrinkling. Initial reductions of 50% are possible. Drawing may be continued although gradually decreasing the amount of reduction per draw is recommended.
Niobium and tantalum can be clad onto other metals such as steel, aluminum and copper to produce cost effective composites.
Niobium and tantalum can be machined using standard equipment and cutting tools. Water soluble
oil is used as a cutting fluid for turning, drilling, milling and sawing. Chlorothane is used as an assist for
tapping.
Niobium and tantalum can be welded to themselves and to several other metals by resistance welding, tungsten-inert gas, plasma welding and electron beam welding. Formation of brittle intermetallic
phases is likely with many metals and must be avoided. Surfaces to be heated above 300 C should
be protected by and inert gas (argon or helium) to prevent embrittlement.
Corrosion resistance:
Selecting any material for corrosive service can be fraught with hazards. Operating conditions can
be substantially different from the conditions used in the laboratory to establish base line data. Whenever possible, a welded sample should be exposed to the expected operating environment. The following
comments are based on laboratory data which should be used only as a guide for preliminary screening
when material selection problems exist.
Tantalum is extremely resistant to corrosion by most acids. Like glass, one of the few exceptions to
its general acid resistance is hydrofluoric acid which will attack tantalum readily. Any solution containing
the fluoride ion should be avoided. Concentrated sulfuric acid and to a lesser degree, hot 85% phosphoric acid will attack tantalum. Hydrochloric, nitric and 80% phosphoric acid provided fluorine is kept
below 5 ppm, chromic, oxalic and organic acids should not be detrimental.
Tantalum is less resistant to alkaline solutions. Boiling solutions of strong alkalies will rapidly attack
the metal. This attack is somewhat temperature and concentration dependent, but in general, service
in strong alkalies above room temperature should be avoided.
The material is not usually attacked by salt solutions except those which contain or will hydrolyze to
strong alkalies or by fluorides. Chlorides and bromides such as ferric chloride, mercuric and stannous
chloride up to 350 F should be satisfactory.
Great care should be exercised to prevent hydrogen embrittlement by electrolytic action in practically
all electrolytes particularly at elevated temperature. Embrittlement may result from either galvanic coupling or because of stray electric currents. To prevent this embrittlement from occurring, tantalum
should be insulated from other metals in the equipment and any stray currents should be located and
eliminated.
At temperatures not exceeding 300 F and in the absence of fluorine, free SO3 or strong alkalies,
most organic and inorganic liquids will not effect tantalum. The same is true of nearly all corrosive gases including either wet or dry chlorine or bromine. Temperatures in excess of 300 F could lead to longer term embrittlement problems unless there is protection from interstitial contamination. Tantalum
has shown excellent resistance to attack by such liquid metals as sodium, lithium, magnsium, potassium and mercury in temperatures to 2000 F.
Corrosion rates for tantalum, miobium, titanium and 304 stainless steel are listed for comparison
in table VI.

NIOBIUM AND TANTALUM IN MATERIALS SELECTION


Introduction:
Niobium and tantalum are members of the refractory metals family, characterized by their very high
melting points.
The similarity of these two metals goes far beyond their occurrence and discovery. Their chemical
properties are so similar that it was difficult to positively establish their individual identities in early work.
Both tantalum and niobium are tough, ductile metals which can be formed into almost any shape. Because of their resistance to chemical attack, and their excellent formability, they are often used in corrosion resistant applications for environments which no other metals can withstand. Their major limitation is reactivity with oxygen and nitrogen in the air at temperatures above 300 to 400 C.
Tantalum and niobium have many unique applications as pure metals, and form the basis for a family
of alloys having similar chemical, physical and high temperature properties.
Material properties:
Niobium and tantalum are tough, ductile, silvery gray metals with a unique combination of mechanical and physical properties. Physical property data for both metals are summarized in Table I. Niobium
has a density close to that of copper, but only about half the density of tantalum and tungsten. The good thermal conductivity values for both tantalum and niobium make them good candidate materials for
heat transfer applications.
Mechanical property data for niobium and tantalum are summarized in Table II. They have moderate strengths and can be work hardened to a considerable degree. In addition, both tantalum and niobium display good toughness at very low temperatures. Alloys of these metals are available with improved elevated temperature tensile and creep properties to temperatures as high as 1650 C.
Regarding chemical characteristics,5 Niobium resists most organic acids and mineral acids at all
concentrations below 100 C, except HF. Tantalum is more corrosion resistant to these at higher concentrations and at higher temperatures (190C). Resistance to many liquid metals makes them candidates for applications ranging from metallurgical process equipment to liquid metal cooled nuclear reactors. Niobium and tantalum are resistant to attack in many liquid metals: Li<1000 C, Na, K + NaK
<1000 C, ThMg<850 C, U<1400 C, Zn<450C, Pb<850 C, Bi<500 C, and Hg<600 C. Because of their ability to form stable, passive oxide films niobium and tantalum can provide unique solutions
to many corrosion problems. A good example is the use of niobium heat components in fluoride catalyzed chrome plating operations. Neither metal, however, can be used in air at temperatures above 200
C for niobium or 300 C for tantalum. Typical comparative corrosion data for niobium and tantalum
are presented in Table III.
Because of their bcc crystal structure, niobium and tantalum are very ductile metals which can undergo cold reductions of more than 95% with out failure. Heavy sections can be heated for forging to ~450
C without protection. Both metals can be rolled, drawn, and extruded to produce a wide range of products. Tantalum and niobium have a tendency to stick to tooling during metal forming operations. As a result, specific lubricant and die material combinations are required in high pressure forming operations.
Niobium and tantalum two refractory metals with unique properties that dictate a number of high
performance applications are often used in areas where long range cost effectiveness becomes a primary consideration. By illustrating some of niobium and tantalum's similarities, and by contrasting some of their differences, this paper provides some interesting and new insights into the metals themselves. It is intended as a guide to metallurgists, applications engineers and others concerned with finding
long range solutions to specialized and highly demanding materials selection problems.
Niobium and tantalum can be clad onto other metals such as steel, aluminum and copper to produce cost effective composites.
Niobium and tantalum can be machined using standard equipment and cutting tools. Water soluble oil is
used as a cutting fluid for turning, drilling, milling and sawing. Chlorothane is used as an assist for tapping.
Niobium and tantalum can be welded to themselves and to several other metals by resistance welding, tungsten-inert gas, plasma welding and electron beam welding. Formation of brittle intermetallic
phases is likely with many metals and must be avoided. Surfaces to be heated above 300 C should
be protected by an inert gas (argon or helium) to prevent embrittlement.

Both niobium and tantalum are more expensive than other specialty engineering materials. However,
when the metal costs are incorporated into finished equipment costs, the cost differences are not nearly as great as one might expect. The cost premium associated with niobium and tantalum chemical
process equipment can be justified in many applications requiring long life and low maintainance costs.
Niobium and tantalum applications:
The most common application for niobium is as an alloy addition to steels and superalloys for elevated temperature service, particularly in aerospace applications. Niobium itself is used in many applications, including heat exchangers for chromeplating solutions, cathodic protection systems, electronic
components and nuclear applications.
Niobium's combination of strength, melting point, resistance to chemical attack and low neutron absorption cross-section promotes its use in the nuclear industry. Tantalum does not have a low neutron
absorption cross-section and is used for radiation shielding. Niobium has been identified as the preferred construction material for the first reactors in the space power systems programs.
Although the electronics industry consumes the majority of tantalum produced (approximately 60%)
for capacitors, other industries concerned with corrosion, especially the chemical processing industry,
are accounting for an increasingly large percentage of the market.
Superconductivity may be the most exciting future application for niobium. Niobium itself becomes superconductive at temperatures less than 9.1K, but the niobium 48% titanium alloy is the
most widely used superconducting material. Magnetic fields of up to 10 tesla have been achieved
using the Nb-48Ti alloy at temperatures below 18K. These magnets can be used in medical diagnostic equipment, nuclear fusion power systems, high energy physics research, energy storage
systems, magnetic separation of minerals and scrap, superconducting motors and generators and
many other applications.
Tantalum and niobium mill products are used in the fabrication of corrosion resistant process equipment, including reaction vessels, columns, bayonet heaters, shell and tube heat exchangers, U-tubes,
thermowells, spargers, rupture diaphragms and orifices.
Three basic types of construction are used to fabricate tantalum or Niobium into vessels and other
components for the chemical process industry: loose-lined, integrally-clad and solid.
In loose-lined construction, the tantalum or niobium liners are fabricated and formed into the shell
without bonding. This "loose-lined" construction is the most economical and most widely used method of fabrication. Although economical, this type of construction has some disadvantages such as
unsuitability for use in vacuum service and poor heat transfer qualities due to air space between the
liner and shell.
Because of niobium's chemical inertness, strength, and heat transfer capability, a compact and
maintenance free unit can replace the teflon unit without the need for a steam desuperheating system at a significantly lower cost. Again, tantalum's corrosion resistance, strength and heat transfer
capability combine to make the tantalum unit a very cost effective replacement for the graphite heat
exchanger.
Welding properties:
Good weldability.
Performed as standard but it must be protected with and inert gas such as Argon/Helium or an
industrial mixture, during thewhole process. If the weld becomes contaminated it will be fragile.

NIOBIUM
General:
Niobium [or columbium] metal is more resistant to corrosion than most common materials, but is
considerably poorer than tantalum. Niobium has the advantages of lower density and a low thermal
neutron cross section.
Corrosion Resistance of Niobium (Columbium):
At room tempe rature niobium metal is inert to almost all salt solutions and to the mineral acids. As
with tantalum, the exceptions are hydrofluoric acid, fuming sulfuric acid and strong alkalis. As the temperature is raised, niobium's corrosion resistance falls rapidly. At 100 C noticeable corrosion of the metal
occurs in acid media, with the exception of nitric acid to which it remains inert. Acids will often cause hydrogen embrittlement at moderate temperatures, although the corrosion rate may still be quite low. The
list of materials to which niobium is resistant at 100C, is shown in Table 1. Niobium is very corrosion
resistant when compared to most metals. Data on the corrosion rate of niobium are given in Table 2; the
tendency toward hydrogen embrittlement is noted. Even dilute alkalis attack niobium. 5% caustic attacks
niobium at 20C more rapidly than it does tantalum at 100 C. (Compare data in Table 2)
Oxidation of niobium at high temperatures by air, oxygen and nitrogen is about the same as for tantalum. Little data are available for other gases.

Miscellaneous Corrosion Information


Both niobium and tantalum are resistant to mass transport and corrosion by many liquid metals at
high temperatures.
Tantalum-niobium alloys containing more than about 5-10% Nb are much less corrosion resistant
than tantalum itself.
Tantalum-tungsten alloys containing more than 18 percent tungsten are inert to 20 percent hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Little data are available on the 90Ta-10W alloy. It is known to be somewhat more oxidation resistant (e.g. to air at higher temperatures) than tantalum. The indication is
that it has about the same corrosion resistance to acids as tantalum itself.
Comparison of Tantalum and Niobium to 304 Stainiess Steel, Titanium and Platinum
Corrosion rates for tantalum, niobium, titanium and 304 stainless steel are listed for comparison in
Table 2. Titanium is very resistant to many industrial chemical environments and has a considerable price advantage over tantalum and niobium. However, the data clearly show the superiority of niobium
and especially of tantalum at high acid concentrations and higher temperatures. While platinum is resistant to hydrofluoric acid and alkalis, tantalum is much better in aqua regia and hot, concentrated hydrochloric acid.
Suggested Applications:
Due to its relatively high price, tantalum can only be recommended for use in extremely corrosive
media, in areas where no corrosion of the part can be tolerated or where very high purity materials are
being processed. While some plastics and even glass fill these requirements to a large extent, tantalum is a structurally sound material of construction, can take considerable mechanical abuse and has
a much higher heat transfer coefficient. Tantalum should be used as a material of construction in locations and for equipment where hot, concentrated hydrochloric, sulfuric or phosphoric acid will be present. Tantalum is used by the medical profession for instruments and for metal implants in the body.

In the manufacture of high purity chemicals and pharmaceuticals, tantalum insures that no impurities
are introduced from the container or reactor.
Niobium lies between titanium and tantalum in price, density and corrosion resistance. Thus far, its
main use has been in the nuclear reactor field. It has the great advantage of a low nuclear cross section. That, combined with its good corrosion resistance to hot aqueous systems and capability of handling molten metals, has made it an important material of construction in the nuclear field.

5. Characterics and applications


The reafter strength diminishes rapidly while oxidization increases.
Titanium does not become brittle at low temperatures, as is the case with steel. It retains its toughness down to -270 C. Titanium is also one of the few materials which becomes superconductive near absolute zero. For this reason superconductive magnets are wound titanium-niobium alloy at -269 C.
The rate of diffusion of oxygen and hydrogen in titanium is high, which is a factor that limits the range of applications at high temperatures.
Chemically, titanium is distinguished by its high reactivity which is only surpassed by metals such as
magnesium, calcium and sodium. In fact, titanium metal is produced through reduction with these
highly reactive metals. That titanium can be employed under circumstances where most other structural material would be subject to severe corrosion is entirely dependent upon the properties of its oxide, TiO. It is highly resistant and forms a self-healing coating which is normally only about 0.01 mm
thick. If the coating is damaged and the environment contains oxygen in some form, e.g. water, the titanium reacts with the oxygen and rebuilds the oxide. On the other hand in deoxidated or reduction environments the oxide protection is weakened and the metal becomes exposed to corrosion. Corrosion

Even at 20 C, titanium's creep properties must taken into consideration in the calculation of design strength values. The following values are
based on creep-rupture ratings for 100,000 hours.
From a strength perspective the maximum temperature for the usage
of unalloyed titanium grades is approximately 350 C. For components not
subject to stress oxidation sets a limit at aproximately 500 C.
