NiFe30Cr21Mo3 is a titanium-stabilised nickel–iron–chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum and copper, designed to provide exceptional resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments. This datasheet presents the material within the European (DIN / EN / Werkstoff-Nummer / VdTÜV) standard system.
The nickel content is sufficient for resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking; together with molybdenum and copper it gives outstanding resistance to reducing environments such as sulphuric and phosphoric acids. Molybdenum also aids resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, while the chromium content confers resistance to oxidising substances such as nitric acid, nitrates and oxidising salts. The titanium addition, with appropriate heat treatment, stabilises the alloy against sensitisation to intergranular corrosion.
These properties make it especially useful in sulphuric and phosphoric acid service, sulphur-bearing flue gases, sour-gas and oil-field equipment, pickling operations, nuclear fuel reprocessing, propeller shafts, tank trucks and seawater handling. It has good mechanical properties from cryogenic to moderately high temperatures; exposure above about 540 °C can cause phase formation that lowers ductility, so it is not normally used where creep-rupture strength governs. It is listed in ISO 15156-3 / ISO 15156 (type 4c) for sour service.

A solid-solution, titanium-stabilised alloy; not age-hardenable. Heat treatment is for annealing / stabilisation only.
Anneal / Stabilise Anneal Temperature: ~940 °C (1725 °F) Purpose: softening, recrystallisation, and (with the titanium addition) stabilisation against intergranular sensitisation.
Service caution: exposure above ~540 °C can cause phase formation that lowers ductility and impact strength; the alloy is normally limited to ~540 °C in service.
Good weldability by all conventional processes. Welds should be made in the annealed condition; the titanium stabilisation helps resist weld-zone sensitisation.

| GTAW / GMAW | Excellent | DIN EN ISO 18274 matching Ni-Fe-Cr filler |
| SMAW / stick | Good | DIN EN ISO 14172 matching electrode |
| Higher-alloy / dissimilar joints | — | Higher-alloy Ni-Cr-Mo filler for dissimilar joints |
Clean, oxide-free joint preparation is essential for sound welds.
