CoCr22NiW Product Description

Overview

CoCr22NiW is a solid-solution-strengthened cobalt–nickel–chromium–tungsten alloy with a small, deliberate addition of lanthanum, developed for outstanding oxidation resistance combined with excellent high-temperature strength. This datasheet presents the material within the European (DIN / EN / Werkstoff-Nummer) standard system.

The cobalt base with ~22% chromium and ~22% nickel provides high-temperature strength and a stable face-centred-cubic structure, while ~14% tungsten gives solid-solution strengthening. The defining feature is the lanthanum addition (~0.02–0.12%), which promotes a tenacious, self-healing protective oxide scale — extending useful oxidation resistance to about 1095 °C (2000 °F), beyond that of L-605/alloy 25. It also offers excellent resistance to sulfate-deposit hot corrosion, molten-chloride salts and gaseous sulfidation. The alloy is non-magnetic, work-hardens rapidly, and retains good ductility even after prolonged elevated-temperature exposure.

Typical applications are concentrated in gas-turbine hot sections — combustor cans, liners, flame holders, transition ducts and afterburner components — together with other aerospace and industrial high-temperature parts exposed to oxidising and corrosive gas streams. It is supplied solution-heat-treated (~1175 °C, rapid quench) and is readily fabricated and welded.

4. Oxidation and High-Temperature Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
High-temperature oxidation Outstanding La-stabilised scale; to ~1095 °C (better than L-605)
Sulfate-deposit hot corrosion Excellent Key advantage
Molten-chloride salts Very Good Resists molten chloride attack
Gaseous sulfidation Excellent Cobalt base + Cr
High-temperature strength Excellent Solid-solution + carbides
Wear / galling Very Good Cobalt base
Post-exposure ductility Excellent Retains ductility after long exposure

5. Heat Treatment

A solid-solution cobalt-base alloy; strengthened by solid solution, carbides and cold work. Heat treatment is solution annealing.

Solution Anneal Temperature: ~1175 °C (2150 °F), followed by rapid air or water quench Purpose: dissolves carbides, restores ductility and develops optimum oxidation resistance.

Forming note: the alloy work-hardens rapidly, so intermediate solution anneals are recommended for complex forming. Hot working is carried out from ~1175 °C (2150 °F).

6. Weldability and Joining

Readily welded by gas-tungsten-arc (GTAW), gas-metal-arc (GMAW), shielded-metal-arc (SMAW), electron-beam and resistance welding, using matching-composition filler. Submerged-arc welding is not recommended (high heat input promotes cracking).

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG · GMAW / MIG Excellent Matching Co-Ni-Cr-W filler (EN ISO)
SMAW / stick Good Matching cobalt electrode
EB / resistance Good

Use matching-composition filler (DIN 17744-type). Keep joints clean; avoid submerged-arc welding.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Work hardening Rapid; rigid setup, sharp tooling, positive rake, low speeds
Intermediate anneal Solution anneals for complex multi-stage forming
