Description

2.4668 (NiCr19NbMo) is a precipitation hardening nickel-chromium alloy that also contains additions of iron, niobium, molybdenum, aluminium and titanium, providing a unique combination of high strength and corrosion resistance together with excellent weldability. It shows the following features and properties:


  • Excellent tensile, fatigue, creep and rupture strengths across a wide temperature range from around -253ºC to 705ºC
  • Excellent oxidation resistance, up to temperatures of around 980ºC due to the high chromium content
  • Outstanding corrosion resistance in many environments including organic and inorganic acids, other than when strongly oxidising, hydrogen sulphide and sour gases
  • Especially resistant to chloride stress-corrosion cracking
  • Exceptional weldability

    Equivalent Materials

    This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

    "Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
    All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
    Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
