ERNiCrMo-3 Nickel Alloy Welding Wire
1. Chemical Composition
ERNiCrMo-3 (AWS A5.14) is a premium nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy, expertly formulated with precise elemental control to ensure outstanding performance:
- Primary Elements: Nickel (Ni: 58-62%), Chromium (Cr: 20-23%), Molybdenum (Mo: 8-10%), Niobium (Nb: 3.15-4.15%)
- Impurities: With meticulously low levels of iron (Fe ≤1.0%), sulfur (S ≤0.02%), and phosphorus (P ≤0.015%), the alloy significantly reduces the risk of cracking, ensuring longevity and durability.
2. Mechanical Properties
- Tensile Strength: ≥760 MPa, demonstrating exceptional resilience under stress.
- Yield Strength: ≥420 MPa, offering robust endurance and stability in challenging conditions.
- Elongation: ≥27%, providing crucial flexibility and adaptability.
- Impact Toughness: This alloy exhibits superior resistance to fatigue and stress corrosion cracking, perfectly suited for both cryogenic and high-temperature applications.
3. Physical Properties
- Density: 8.4 g/cm³, a testament to its substantial structural integrity.
- Melting Range: 1290-1350°C, ensuring stability in extreme thermal environments.
- Structure: The alloy features a face-centered cubic lattice, transitioning into stable Ni3(Nb,Ti) phases following heat treatment at approximately 650°C, enhancing its robustness.
4. Key Features
- Corrosion Resistance: Possessing unparalleled resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion in environments laden with chlorides, acids, and marine conditions.
- High-Temperature Stability: Retains formidable strength and oxidation resistance up to 1800°F (982°C), perfect for demanding high-temperature applications.
- Versatility: Ideally suited for welding dissimilar metals, such as carbon steel to nickel alloys and for surface cladding, offering unmatched utility.
5. Welding Process Compatibility
- Methods: Compatible with TIG (GTAW), MIG (GMAW), submerged arc (SAW), and plasma arc welding, ensuring flexibility in fabrication processes.
- Shielding Gas: Utilize argon or argon-helium mixtures for TIG/MIG; INCOFLUX 7 flux is recommended for SAW to guarantee optimal welding conditions.
- Wire Diameters: Available in sizes ranging from 0.8-3.2 mm, whether spooled or in straight rods, providing versatile application possibilities.
6. Applications
- Industries: Perfectly engineered for diverse sectors such as aerospace (engine components, exhaust systems), chemical processing (reactors, pipelines), marine (valves, seawater systems), and oil/gas (wellhead equipment).
- Materials Welded: Compatible for welding with materials like INCONEL 625, INCOLOY 825, 20alloy, 9% Ni steel, and dissimilar combinations such as nickel alloys to stainless steel.
7. Standards & Certifications
- AWS/ASME: Fully compliant with AWS A5.14, ASME SFA-5.14, and UNS N06625, ensuring top-tier reliability and safety.
- Certifications: Accredited by ABS, NADCAP, and ISO 18274, guaranteeing adherence to the highest standards for critical industry applications.
8. Handling & Storage
- Moisture Control: For optimal performance, ensure storage in dry conditions. Our copper-coated variants significantly enhance conductivity.
- Pre-Weld Preparation: Thoroughly clean surfaces to remove oil, rust, and moisture. Employ low heat inputs to prevent embrittlement, ensuring superior weld integrity.
9. Packaging & Availability
- Packaging: Available in convenient spools ranging from 5-15 kg or as straight rods to suit diverse fabrication needs.
- Lead Time: Orders typically ship within 3-15 days, contingent upon requested quantities, ensuring timely delivery.
Summary: The ERNiCrMo-3 Nickel Alloy Wire stands as a superior welding solution for challenging environments, offering an exceptional blend of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and versatility across a multitude of industries.
