2.4733 Product Description

Overview

2.4733 is a nickel–chromium–tungsten–molybdenum alloy with a small lanthanum addition, combining excellent high-temperature strength, outstanding oxidation resistance and exceptional long-term thermal stability. This datasheet presents the material within the European (DIN / EN / Werkstoff-Nummer) standard system.

The nickel base with ~22% chromium and a lanthanum micro-addition gives outstanding resistance to oxidising environments for prolonged exposure to about 1149 °C (2100 °F), together with premier resistance to nitriding atmospheres. Tungsten (~14%) and molybdenum (~2%) provide solid-solution strengthening, while the alloy also offers lower thermal expansion than most high-temperature alloys and a pronounced resistance to grain coarsening with prolonged high-temperature exposure. A key attribute is its long-term stability: it does not form embrittling sigma or mu phases even after 16,000 hours of exposure between 649 and 870 °C, retaining excellent ductility.

It is readily fabricated, formed, welded and castable. It may be forged or hot-worked from ~1177 °C (2150 °F), and is readily cold-formed owing to its good ductility. Typical applications include gas-turbine combustion hardware and transition ducts, petrochemical and thermal-processing equipment, nitric-acid production, and other components requiring a balance of strength, oxidation/nitridation resistance and stability.

Thermal cycling Excellent Low expansion; scale adhesion
Grain coarsening Resistant Stable grain size at high temperature
High-temperature strength / creep Excellent W + Mo solid-solution + carbides
Carburisation Good Typical of high-Ni-Cr

5. Heat Treatment

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

Solution Anneal Temperature: ~1177–1232 °C (2150–2250 °F), followed by rapid cooling Purpose: dissolves carbides, restores ductility and develops optimum properties.

Hot or cold worked parts are annealed and cooled rapidly to ensure the best balance of properties. Hot working is carried out from ~1177 °C (2150 °F). Owing to its thermal stability, the alloy resists embrittlement during service.

6. Weldability and Joining

Excellent welding and forming characteristics; welding behaviour is similar to Hastelloy X. Joined by gas-tungsten-arc (GTAW), gas-metal-arc (GMAW), shielded-metal-arc (SMAW) and resistance welding, using matching filler. The alloy is also castable.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG · GMAW / MIG Excellent EN ISO 18274 matching Ni-Cr-W-Mo filler
SMAW / stick Good Matching Ni-Cr-W-Mo electrode
Resistance welding Good

Use matching-composition filler. Anneal and rapidly cool fabricated parts for the best balance of properties.
