2.4675 Product Description

Overview

2.4675 is a solid-solution nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with a deliberate copper addition ( / Alloy 2000). This datasheet presents the material within the European (DIN / EN / Werkstoff-Nummer) standard system.

Unlike the chromium-free "B" family, 2.4675 contains about 23% chromium together with 16% molybdenum and a small (~1.6%) copper addition. This combination makes it unusually versatile: the high chromium gives resistance to oxidising chemicals and to process streams contaminated with ferric ions or dissolved oxygen, while the molybdenum and copper give resistance to reducing acids such as sulphuric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric. It thus performs well in both oxidising and reducing environments — a combination that earlier Ni-Cr-Mo alloys could not cover. It is fully austenitic, ductile, readily formed and welded, and has outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice attack and chloride stress-corrosion cracking.

Typical applications include chemical-process equipment (reactors, heat exchangers, columns, valves and pumps), petrochemical piping, pharmaceutical equipment, flue-gas-desulphurization plant and other service handling mixed or variable oxidising/reducing media. The grade is listed in ISO 15156-3 for sour service.

1. Physical Properties

Values per reference data (manufacturer / DIN), solution-annealed condition.

Property Value Unit
Density 8.50 g/cm³
Melting range 1330–1400 °C
Young's modulus (20 °C) ~207 GPa
Thermal conductivity (20 °C) ~9.1 W/m·K
Coefficient of thermal expansion (20–100 °C) ~12.4 µm/m·°C
Electrical resistivity (20 °C) ~1.28 µΩ·m
Magnetic response Non-magnetic (austenitic)

2. Chemical Composition (Limiting, wt %)

Composition per DIN 17744 (W.Nr. 2.4675, NiCr23Mo16Cu).

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Nickel Ni Balance Base; reducing-media + SCC resistance
Chromium Cr 22.0 24.0 Oxidising-media resistance
Molybdenum Mo 15.0 17.0 Reducing-acid + pitting/crevice resistance
Copper Cu 1.3 1.9 Enhanced sulphuric-acid resistance
Iron Fe 3.0 Residual
Cobalt Co 2.0 Residual
Manganese Mn 0.5 Deoxidiser
Aluminium Al 0.5 Deoxidiser
Carbon C 0.01 Ultra-low (thermal stability)
Silicon Si 0.08 Very low
Phosphorus P 0.025 Residual impurity
Sulphur S 0.010 Residual impurity

Nominal: Ni-23Cr-16Mo-1.6Cu. The 23% chromium gives oxidising-media resistance; 16% molybdenum with 1.6% copper give reducing-acid (sulphuric/hydrochloric/hydrofluoric) resistance — combining performance in both oxidising and reducing environments.

3. Mechanical Properties

Solution-annealed condition, per DIN 17750/17752 (temper F69) for W.Nr. 2.4675.

Property Value Unit
Tensile strength (Rm) ≥690 MPa
0.2% proof strength (Rp0.2) ≥300 MPa
Elongation at fracture (A) ≥40 %
Brinell hardness ≤210 HB

Values per EN/DIN; confirm against the inspection certificate (EN 10204).

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Oxidising media Excellent High chromium (23%)
Reducing acids (H₂SO₄, HCl, HF) Excellent Mo 16% + Cu 1.6%
Mixed oxidising/reducing Excellent Versatile — both environments
Pitting / crevice (chlorides) Outstanding CPT in 6% FeCl₃ ~145 °C
Chloride SCC Outstanding High nickel content
Ferric/cupric-contaminated acids Resistant High Cr (unlike B-family)
Intergranular (welded) Resistant Ultra-low carbon

5. Heat Treatment

A solid-solution alloy; it cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Corrosion properties are developed by solution annealing.

Solution anneal: approximately 1080–1120 °C, followed by rapid cooling (water quench or rapid air), to dissolve secondary phases and put chromium, molybdenum and copper into solution for optimum corrosion resistance.

The ultra-low carbon content resists carbide precipitation; after significant cold work, a final solution anneal restores optimum corrosion resistance.

6. Weldability and Joining

Good weldability; the controlled low-carbon chemistry resists carbide precipitation in the weld heat-affected zone. GTAW and GMAW are commonly used with a matching Ni-Cr-Mo filler.

Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Excellent Matching W.Nr. 2.4675-type Ni-Cr-Mo filler
GMAW / MIG Good Matching W.Nr. 2.4675-type Ni-Cr-Mo filler
SMAW / stick Good Matching Ni-Cr-Mo electrode

No preheat required; control interpass temperature. Most applications are used in the as-welded condition.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Machinability Tough; high work-hardening rate (typical of Ni-Cr-Mo alloys); sharp tooling, slow speeds
Work hardening High rate; rigid setup, positive feeds, avoid dwelling
Coolant Ample flood coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Hot working Narrow range; solution anneal + quench after
Cold forming Work-hardens; intermediate anneal for severe forming
Solution anneal ~1080–1120 °C, rapid cool

8. Applications

Industry Typical Components Key Requirements
Chemical processing Reactors, heat exchangers, columns, valves, pumps Mixed oxidising/reducing resistance
Petrochemical Piping, process equipment Acid + chloride resistance
