X6NiCrTiMoVB25-15-2 is a precipitation-hardenable iron–nickel–chromium austenitic superalloy with additions of titanium, molybdenum, vanadium, aluminium and boron. This datasheet presents the material within the European (EN / DIN / Werkstoff-Nummer) standard system.
Strengthening is achieved by precipitation of a gamma-prime [Ni₃(Ti,Al)] phase during aging, giving high strength combined with good ductility and excellent fabricability. The nickel and chromium contents provide good corrosion and oxidation resistance — its aqueous corrosion behaviour is comparable to 316L austenitic stainless steel. It retains useful strength for long-term service up to 704 °C (1300 °F), short-term to 816 °C, and intermittent to 982 °C, while remaining ductile, non-magnetic and tough down to −196 °C.
The alloy is widely used for aircraft and industrial gas-turbine components (turbine wheels, shafts, blades, vanes, afterburner parts), high-temperature fasteners and stud bolts, turbocharger wheels, and non-magnetic cryogenic equipment in petrochemical and offshore oil and gas service. It is normally supplied in the solution-annealed and aged condition.

A precipitation-hardening alloy. Strength is developed by solution treatment + aging (not by cold work).
Solution Treatment Temperature: ~900–980 °C (typical), followed by oil quench or rapid cooling Purpose: Dissolves γ′ and puts Ti/Al into solution.
Aging Temperature: ~720 °C for ~16 hours, air cool Purpose: Precipitates γ′ [Ni₃(Ti,Al)] for high strength and creep resistance. A second (double) aging treatment may be applied for specific property targets.
Supplied condition is normally hot-worked, solution-annealed and single-aged.
Weldable by conventional fusion processes; GTAW/TIG is preferred. As a γ′-strengthening alloy, it can be susceptible to strain-age cracking, so welding is generally done in the solution-annealed condition followed by post-weld solution treatment and aging to restore properties.
| Welding Process | Applicability | Filler / Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| GTAW / TIG | Good (preferred) | EN ISO 18274 matching A-286 / 1.4980 filler |
| GMAW / MIG | Good | EN ISO 18274 matching A-286 / 1.4980 filler |
| Resistance / EB / laser | Suitable | Matching/autogenous |
Post-weld solution treatment + aging is recommended for full strength; minimise restraint to avoid strain-age cracking.
Machining Guidelines
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Preferred condition | Solution-annealed (machine before final aging where possible) |
| Work hardening | High rate; rigid setup, positive rake, sharp tooling |
| Cutting | Low-to-moderate speed, ample feed, generous coolant |
| Coolant | Flood coolant essential |
Forming Processes
| Process | Notes |
|---|---|
| Hot working | Carried out above the solution range; rapid cool |

| Final aging | After forming/machining to develop full strength |
| Industry | Typical Components | Key Requirements |
