Introduction:

Long-established under a proprietary designation, now part of its UNS N08825 number, the 42%Ni, 21%Cr, 3%Mo, Cu Ti alloy derives its broad usefulness in diverse corrosion conditions from the technologies of both stainless steels and nickel-base alloys. The high-nickel content endows relative freedom from chloride stress corrosion cracking and aids high resistance to many alkaline solutions. Annealed and/or cold worked products resist the hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide in sour oil or gas at high temperatures and pressures. Particularly useful for plant and equipment exposed to sulphuric acid, sulphurous acid and sulphur-ontaining gasses. Weldments exhibit high toughness at low cryogenic temperatures. Design stress factors are included in ASME II and BS5500.
Metallurgy:

Nickel, in conjunction with molybdenum and copper, helps to give outstanding resistance to reducing environments such as those involving sulphuric or phosphoric acids. Its chromium content aids resistance to oxidizing media. The addition of titanium considerably reduces the risk of sensitization during processing and welding, but the best corrosion performance is likely after a stabilization anneal at
940-980°C. In cold seawater, the alloy will generaly resist pitting but may develop some crevice corrosion. Its PREN, about 31, cannot benefit from added nitrogen
