NiCr22W14Mo Forgings W.Nr. 2.4733 · UNS N06230 · equivalent to Haynes® 230

NiCr22W14Mo is the DIN/EN chemical designation for a nickel-chromium-tungsten-molybdenum superalloy. It is also listed as material number 2.4733 and UNS N06230, and is sold under the trade name Haynes® 230. Tungsten at about 14 % and molybdenum at about 2 % strengthen the alloy in solid solution, stable primary carbides hold that strength at temperature, and a small lanthanum addition keeps the chromium oxide scale attached to the surface. The result is a grade that runs continuously in air at up to about 1150 °C (2100 °F) and resists nitriding better than most nickel-base alloys.

Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. forges NiCr22W14Mo to order at its works in Jiangyin, Jiangsu, China. Forms include seamless rolled rings, flanges, shafts, discs, sleeves, bars and tube sheets, produced to ASTM B564 / ASME SB-564 and DIN 17744.

NiCr22W14Mo forged product forms

All shapes listed below are forged from ESR-refined billet on open dies. Nothing is cast, and nothing is fabricated from plate. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal works to your drawing, or supplies a plain blank with machining allowance if you prefer to finish the part yourself. Every piece is solution annealed and ultrasonically tested before it leaves the works.

If the shape you need is not in the table, send the drawing. Open-die forging carries no die cost, so a single piece is quoted on the same basis as a production batch. Eccentric shafts, nozzles, crankshafts, manifolds and forged rolls are all regular work.

NiCr22W14Mo designations and equivalent standards

This alloy carries a different name in almost every specification system, which is a common source of ordering mistakes. State the standard together with the grade. UNS N06230 per ASTM B564 is unambiguous. "Nickel alloy 230" on its own is not, because composition ranges and documentation requirements differ between standards.

NiCr22W14Mo chemical composition

The figures below are the specified ranges for UNS N06230 in ASTM B564 and ASTM B572. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal checks each heat by optical emission spectrometry and prints the actual analysis on the EN 10204 certificate that ships with the forging.

Forging practice and heat treatment

NiCr22W14Mo is not age-hardenable. Its strength comes from tungsten and molybdenum held in solid solution together with stable primary carbides, so the finished condition is solution annealed and rapidly cooled. Adding an ageing cycle gives no benefit and can coarsen carbides at the grain boundaries.

Hot working

Forge between 1177 and 1232 °C (2150–2250 °F). Reheat as often as the section needs. Stop working before the metal drops below 927 °C (1700 °F). The alloy is stiff at temperature and low-temperature working can crack it.

Solution annealing

Anneal at 1177 to 1246 °C (2150–2275 °F), commonly around 1230 °C, then water quench or fast air cool. Hot- and cold-worked parts are re-annealed to bring strength and ductility back into balance.

Grain stability

Primary carbides in this grade are stable enough that grain size holds after 24 hours at 1204 °C. Sigma and mu phase do not form after thousands of hours between 649 and 871 °C, so ductility stays high in service.

Machining and welding

Use rigid setups, positive rake and a heavy depth of cut. Behaviour on the machine is close to Haynes® 25 and Haynes® 188. Weld with ERNiCrWMo-1 filler by GTAW or GMAW. Most sections need no post-weld heat treatment.

Sourcing NiCr22W14Mo forgings from Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal

Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. is an open-die forging factory at No.1 Chengxiqiao Road, Zhouzhuang Town, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, China. The works sits inside the Jiangyin forging cluster, about two hours from Shanghai port. Forging, heat treatment, testing and despatch are handled on site. We are a manufacturer, not a trading company reselling stock cut from someone else's bar.

No die cost

Open-die forging needs no dedicated tooling, so a single piece is quoted on the same basis as fifty. There is no minimum order quantity on custom shapes.

Traceability from one works

Forging, solution annealing, ultrasonic testing and mechanical testing all take place at the same site, so the record runs unbroken from heat number to finished part.

Quoted against your standard

Tell us the standard and we quote and certify to it, whether that is ASTM B564, AMS 5891 or DIN 17744, rather than a generic release note.

Other nickel grades in regular production

Inconel 625 and 718, Hastelloy C-276, Incoloy 800H and Monel 400 run through the same shop, so mixed-grade orders ship together.

What to send with your enquiry

Send the drawing or finished dimensions, the quantity, the standard and acceptance class, the required delivery condition, the certificate type (EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2), and the service temperature if the part goes into a hot section. With that information we can return a firm price and lead time on the first reply.

NiCr22W14Mo frequently asked questions

What is NiCr22W14Mo?

NiCr22W14Mo is the DIN/EN chemical designation for a nickel-chromium-tungsten-molybdenum superalloy carrying material number 2.4733 and UNS number N06230. It contains about 22 % chromium, 14 % tungsten and 2 % molybdenum in a nickel matrix, with a small lanthanum addition. It is used where components have to keep their strength and resist oxidation above 900 °C.

Is NiCr22W14Mo the same as Haynes® 230?

Yes. They are the same alloy under different naming systems. NiCr22W14Mo is the DIN/EN chemical designation, 2.4733 is the European material number, UNS N06230 is the American number, and Haynes® 230 is the registered trade name of Haynes International. Material ordered as NiCr22W14Mo per ASTM B564 meets the same composition and property limits as UNS N06230.

What is the maximum service temperature of NiCr22W14Mo?

NiCr22W14Mo runs continuously in oxidising air up to about 1150 °C (2100 °F). For pressure-retaining components the governing limit is lower. ASME Section I Code Case 2063 permits use to 900 °C (1650 °F). Take the allowable stress from the applicable code edition rather than from the oxidation limit.

Can NiCr22W14Mo be age-hardened?

No. NiCr22W14Mo is solid-solution and carbide strengthened rather than precipitation hardened, so there is no ageing treatment for it. Forgings are supplied solution annealed at 1177 to 1246 °C and rapidly cooled.

Which standards cover NiCr22W14Mo forgings?

Forgings are covered by ASTM B564 / ASME SB-564 and AMS 5891. Bar and rod fall under ASTM B572 / ASME SB-572, plate, sheet and strip under ASTM B435 / ASME SB-435, seamless pipe and tube under ASTM B622 / ASME SB-622, and wrought fittings under ASTM B366 / ASME SB-366. The German reference is DIN 17744 and the GE aerospace specification is B50TF246.

What forged shapes can Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal supply in NiCr22W14Mo?

Seamless rolled rings, flanges, discs and blanks, shafts and round bars, sleeves and bushings, tube sheets, valve bodies and seat rings, hollow forgings and forged pipe, plus custom open-die shapes to drawing. Table 1 lists the size range for each form.

Do you supply EN 10204 3.2 certificates?

Yes. EN 10204 3.1 certificates are issued as standard with every NiCr22W14Mo forging. EN 10204 3.2 certificates witnessed by an independent third party such as TÜV, SGS, BV, LR or DNV are available on request. State the inspection body when you place the enquiry so the release can be scheduled.
