NiCr19CoMo Product Description

Overview

NiCr19CoMo is a precipitation-hardenable nickel–chromium-base superalloy with exceptionally high strength, developed by General Electric, that retains its strength from room temperature through about 871 °C (1600 °F). This datasheet presents the material within the European (EN / Werkstoff-Nummer) standard system.

Strength is derived from solid-solution strengthening (significant cobalt and molybdenum additions) together with precipitation of the gamma-prime [Ni₃(Al,Ti)] phase developed during age hardening. The high molybdenum content (about 9–10.5%) distinguishes it from related γ′ alloys and contributes to its exceptional strength, while ~19% chromium gives outstanding oxidation resistance to ~871 °C. It is designed for severely stressed high-temperature applications and famously formed the outer shell of the Mercury space capsule, owing to its ability to retain high strength at very high temperatures.

The alloy is sensitive to strain-age cracking during welding, so it must be welded in the fully solution-treated condition, with rapid heating/cooling through the 650–870 °C (1200–1600 °F) range and post-weld solution treatment plus aging. Typical applications include hot components for jet and rocket engines, turbine blades and wheels, torque rings, high-strength bolting and springs, and missile components.

Oxidation Outstanding To ~871 °C (1600 °F)
Creep / stress-rupture Excellent High Mo + γ′
Hot corrosion Good Gas-turbine combustion environments
General corrosion Good High Ni-Cr base
Strain-age cracking (welding) Sensitive Weld in solution-treated condition only

5. Heat Treatment

A precipitation-hardening nickel-base superalloy. Strength is developed by solution treatment followed by aging.

Solution Treatment Temperature: ~1065–1080 °C (1950–1975 °F), followed by rapid cooling (air or oil)

Age Hardening Temperature: ~760 °C (1400 °F) / ~16 h / air cool (for high-strength applications); alternative ~900 °C (1650 °F) cycles are used for optimum creep-rupture properties.

Welding caution: the alloy is sensitive to strain-age cracking; it must be in the fully solution-treated condition before welding, with rapid heating/cooling through the 650–870 °C range, followed by post-weld solution treatment and aging.

6. Weldability and Joining

alloy 41 is sensitive to strain-age cracking during welding (a consequence of its high γ′ content), so it must be welded in the fully solution-treated condition. Sound welds can be made by resistance and electron-beam methods; GTAW with DC straight polarity requires good joint fit-up and cooling via copper backing bars or water-cooled fixtures.

Welding Process Applicability Notes
Resistance / EB Good Preferred for sound welds
GTAW / TIG Possible DCSP; good fit-up; copper backing / water cooling

After welding, the assembly should be solution-treated with rapid heating and cooling through the 650–870 °C (1200–1600 °F) range, followed by aging. Use matching filler (MSRR 9500/241 matching wire (solution-treated base)).

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Preferred condition Machine solution-treated; finish before/after aging per part
Work hardening High; rigid setup, sharp carbide tooling, low speeds
Hot working Demanding (high γ′); controlled temperature
Coolant Ample flood coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Hot working High-temperature, controlled range
Cold forming Limited; high work-hardening rate
Final aging After forming/machining to develop full strength
