Alloy description

NiCr25FeAlY is a heat-resistant nickel-base alloy. Three features of its chemistry distinguish it from ordinary Ni-Cr grades, and each affects how the alloy is forged.

High carbon content

Most corrosion-resistant nickel alloys hold carbon as low as the melt shop can achieve. NiCr25FeAlY runs 0.15–0.25 % C. The carbon precipitates as primary and secondary chromium carbides that pin the grain boundaries and provide creep-rupture strength above 1,000 °C. The same carbides restrict cold formability, so hot-worked product forms are the normal route for this grade.

Aluminium and yttrium additions

Chromium alone produces a Cr₂O₃ scale that eventually spalls under repeated heating and cooling. NiCr25FeAlY adds 1.8–2.4 % aluminium, which forms an inner alumina layer beneath the chromia, and 0.05–0.12 % yttrium, a reactive-element addition that keys the scale to the substrate. The resulting double oxide layer stays attached through thermal cycling. This is why the alloy is specified in furnaces where flaking scale would contaminate the product being heated.

Coarse grain structure

Zirconium at 0.01–0.10 % controls grain coarsening, which allows the alloy to be annealed at very high temperature without uncontrolled growth. Solution annealing is carried out at 1,180–1,230 °C to develop a coarse grain, because coarse grain provides the creep strength in this alloy. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. plans forging reduction and finishing temperature around this final anneal.

Grain size on incoming drawings

A fine-grain acceptance criterion carried over from a steel specification works against this alloy, since coarse grain is the source of its creep strength. Where a NiCr25FeAlY drawing arrives at Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. carrying an ASTM E112 fine-grain requirement, the point is raised with the purchaser before material is cut.

Equivalent designations and standards

NiCr25FeAlY appears under several names on drawings and purchase orders. All of the following refer to the same alloy, and Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. quotes against any of them.

Mechanical properties

Minimum room-temperature properties for NiCr25FeAlY in the solution-annealed condition:

Tensile strengthRm≥ 670MPa (N/mm²)
ElongationA5≥ 30%
Modulus of elasticityE215GPa (kN/mm²)

Values are typical minima for solution-annealed material. Section size, forging reduction and final grain size all affect the measured figures. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. tests each heat and reports measured values on the EN 10204 certificate.

Elevated-temperature behaviour

NiCr25FeAlY is selected for creep-rupture strength rather than room-temperature strength. Yield strength is modest by superalloy standards, and ASME Code Case 2359 permits higher design stresses for this grade on the basis that limited permanent deformation is acceptable in its applications. For code work, take allowable stresses from the code table rather than from a supplier data sheet.

Use 7.9 g/cm³ to estimate forging weight from a drawing. A NiCr25FeAlY ring of 600 mm OD by 400 mm ID by 200 mm high weighs approximately 250 kg as-forged before machining allowance. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. confirms the forged weight against the drawing at quotation.

Service temperature limits

Oxidation resistance to 1,200 °C does not apply to pressure-retaining parts. Three separate sources govern the temperature limits for a NiCr25FeAlY design, and one band presents a ductility hazard rather than a limit. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. requests the intended service temperature on every NiCr25FeAlY enquiry, because it determines the heat treatment applied.

0 °C1,300 °C

Hatched band: reduced stress-rupture ductility in the solution-annealed condition. Service in this band requires a stabilising anneal and, for welded parts, post-weld heat treatment.

Continuous service between 600 and 750 °C

State this condition at enquiry stage. The band requires a stabilising anneal, and welded assemblies used there should receive post-weld heat treatment. Specifying it on the order adds no cost at the forging stage.

Atmosphere resistance

Temperature is only part of the selection. The process gas determines whether NiCr25FeAlY suits an application. The alloy is specified for atmospheres that attack chromia-only alloys, and a small number of conditions require verification against process data. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. requests the process atmosphere alongside the temperature on every enquiry for this grade.

Oxidising, scale stableStrongly reducing, verify

Specified for these conditions

  • Air and oxidising atmospheres to 1,200 °CIncluding severe thermal cycling. The double oxide scale stays keyed to the metal instead of spalling.
  • Carburising atmospheresVery good resistance in CH₄/H₂ and similar carbon-rich gas. The alumina layer blocks carbon ingress.
  • Metal dusting conditionsRetains creep strength through the 400 to 800 °C band in which metal dusting occurs. Used in syngas and reformer hardware.
  • Oxidising and chlorinating mediaVery good high-temperature corrosion resistance.
  • Oxidising sulphur-bearing atmospheresGood resistance, which is unusual for a nickel-base alloy, attributed to the combined chromium and aluminium content.
  • Nitriding atmospheresThe alumina layer limits nitrogen ingress. Commonly used for nitriding and carburising furnace fixtures.

Verify before specifying

  • Strongly reducing sulphidising gasThe normal limitation of high-nickel alloys. Supply the actual oxygen and sulphur partial pressures. Oxidising sulphur service and reducing sulphur service are different cases.
  • Continuous 600 to 750 °C serviceRupture ductility falls in the solution-annealed condition. Specify a stabilising anneal.
  • Pressure-retaining dutyCode limits are well below 1,200 °C. See the temperature table above.
  • Cold forming after deliveryPrimary carbides restrict cold formability. Plan hot work, or order the part closer to net shape.
  • Molten salts and molten metalsNo published design basis exists for this grade. Treat as a separate materials study.

Delivery condition options are as-forged with black scale, shot blasted, rough machined or finish machined. State the requirement, since the machining allowance left on the part depends on it.

Manufacturing route

The sequence below is the standard route followed by Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. for NiCr25FeAlY. Each step is recorded and the records accompany the part on its EN 10204 certificate.

  1. Melting

    Electric arc furnace with AOD or VOD refining. Electroslag remelting is added where the drawing or specification calls for improved cleanliness and reduced segregation.

  2. Ingot to billet

    The ingot is cogged down and cropped. NiCr25FeAlY has a narrow hot-working window, so the billet is reheated between passes rather than worked through in a single heat.

  3. Open-die forging or ring rolling

    Hydraulic press forging or radial-axial ring rolling to the rough shape. Reduction ratio is planned to close porosity through the section and to leave a uniform structure for the final anneal.

  4. Solution annealing

    1,180 to 1,230 °C, held according to section thickness, then cooled rapidly. No ageing treatment is applied. The high anneal develops the coarse grain that provides the creep strength of the alloy.

  5. Stabilising anneal where specified

    Applied where the part will run continuously in the 600 to 750 °C band, to restore rupture ductility before service. State the requirement on the order.

  6. Rough or finish machining

    Scale removal and turning or boring to the dimensions agreed on the drawing, leaving the specified machining allowance.

  7. Non-destructive testing

    Ultrasonic examination to EN 10228-3, SEP 1921 or ASTM A388 at the acceptance class stated on the order. Dye penetrant to ASTM E165 where surface indications matter.

  8. Testing, marking and packing

    Heat chemistry, PMI, tensile and hardness testing compiled into an EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificate. Heat number hard stamped or vibro-etched on the piece. Packed for sea or air freight with the certificate pack.

Testing, inspection and certification

Every NiCr25FeAlY forging leaves the works with a heat number stamped on the piece and a matching certificate. The scope below is the default from Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. Additional purchaser requirements are quoted as supplementary items.

Ultrasonic testing of this grade

Coarse-grained nickel alloys attenuate ultrasound considerably more than steel, and NiCr25FeAlY is deliberately coarse-grained. Probe frequency and calibration blocks must be selected for the grade rather than carried over from carbon-steel practice, otherwise the examination will under-report indications. This is worth confirming when comparing UT reports between suppliers.

Applications for NiCr25FeAlY forgings

NiCr25FeAlY is used in equipment that operates hot and cycles. Listed below are the sectors that specify it most often and the components forged by Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. for them.

Welding, heat treatment and machining

Welding

Weldability is fair by GTAW, plasma, GMAW and SMAW. Matching filler 2.4649 (ENi6025 / SNi6025) or the base grade is normally used, and preheating is not usually required. Adequate back shielding is needed on all gas-shielded welds. Post-weld heat treatment is recommended where welded components will operate between 600 and 750 °C, to restore rupture ductility.

Hot and cold working

Hot work in the recommended range and solution anneal afterwards. A further solution anneal is required before service where cold deformation exceeds approximately 7 %. Cold formability is restricted by the high proportion of primary carbides, so parts needing significant forming should be worked hot or ordered closer to net shape.

Machining

NiCr25FeAlY behaves as a work-hardening nickel alloy containing hard primary carbides. Use rigid setups, sharp positive-rake carbide tooling, heavy constant feed, moderate speed and generous coolant. Do not allow the tool to dwell or rub, since a rubbing edge work-hardens the surface and the following pass then has to cut through the hardened layer. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. can supply parts finish machined where this suits the buyer's schedule.

Ordering information

Send the following to Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. for a firm price and lead time, normally returned within one working day.

  2. Drawing or dimensions

    A 2D drawing or PDF is preferred. Otherwise state OD, ID, height or length and wall thickness, and whether those are finished or rough dimensions.

  3. Quantity and delivery date

    Piece count and required date, so that the correct freight mode can be quoted.

  4. Delivery condition

    As-forged, shot blasted, rough machined or finish machined.

  5. Testing and certification

    UT standard and acceptance class, any additional testing, EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2, and any nominated inspection body.

  6. Service temperature and atmosphere

Frequently asked questions about NiCr25FeAlY

What is NiCr25FeAlY?

NiCr25FeAlY is the EN chemical designation for a high-carbon nickel-chromium-iron alloy containing 24 to 26 % chromium and 8 to 11 % iron, micro-alloyed with 1.8 to 2.4 % aluminium, 0.05 to 0.12 % yttrium, titanium and zirconium, with nickel as the balance. It is registered as material number 2.4633 and UNS N06025, and sold under the trade names Alloy 602 CA and Nicrofer 6025 HT. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. supplies it as open-die forgings.

Is NiCr25FeAlY the same as Alloy 602 CA and UNS N06025?

Yes. NiCr25FeAlY, 2.4633, UNS N06025, Alloy 602 CA and Nicrofer 6025 HT all describe the same alloy. NiCr25Fe10AlY, Alloy 603 GT and JIS NCF 602 are also used. Composition limits vary slightly between specifications, so Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. recommends naming the governing standard on the order.

What is the maximum service temperature of NiCr25FeAlY?

NiCr25FeAlY resists oxidation and creep to approximately 1,200 °C (2,192 °F). Limits for pressure-retaining equipment are lower: −10 to 1,150 °C under VdTÜV material data sheet 540, 899 °C (1,650 °F) under ASME Code Section I, and 982 °C (1,800 °F) under ASME Section VIII Division 1.

Why does NiCr25FeAlY resist oxidation so well?

The high chromium content forms a chromium-oxide scale and the 1.8 to 2.4 % aluminium forms an inner alumina layer. The yttrium addition anchors the scale to the metal so that it does not spall during thermal cycling. The double oxide layer remains dense and adherent under cyclic heating, which is why the alloy is specified where exfoliating scale would contaminate the product.

Does NiCr25FeAlY resist sulphur-bearing atmospheres?

In oxidising sulphur-bearing atmospheres at elevated temperature the resistance is good, which is unusual for a nickel-base alloy and is attributed to the combined chromium and aluminium content. Strongly reducing sulphidising atmospheres are a separate case and represent the normal limitation of high-nickel alloys.

Confirm the actual oxygen and sulphur partial pressures against process data before specifying the grade.

Does NiCr25FeAlY resist metal dusting and carburisation?

Yes. NiCr25FeAlY has very good resistance in carburising and oxidising-chlorinating media and under metal-dusting conditions. The alumina and chromia scale blocks carbon ingress, and the alloy retains creep strength through the 400 to 800 °C band in which metal dusting occurs. It is used in syngas, hydrogen-reforming and heat-treatment furnace hardware.

Which forged shapes can be made in NiCr25FeAlY?

Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. open-die forges NiCr25FeAlY into seamless rolled rings, forged rings, round bars, shafts and spindles, discs and blanks, flanges, sleeves, bushings, tube sheets, hollow bars, forged tubes, valve bodies and stems, kiln rollers and furnace hardware, and nozzles, as-forged or machined to the customer drawing.

What heat treatment is applied to NiCr25FeAlY forgings?

NiCr25FeAlY forgings are solution annealed at 1,180 to 1,230 °C followed by rapid cooling. The high annealing temperature develops a coarse grain, which provides the creep strength of the alloy. NiCr25FeAlY is not a precipitation-hardening alloy and no ageing treatment is applied. A stabilising anneal is added where the part will run continuously between 600 and 750 °C.

Why is NiCr25FeAlY annealed at such a high temperature?

Creep strength in this alloy comes from a coarse grain structure. Annealing near 1,220 °C develops that grain size, and the zirconium addition keeps the growth controlled. A fine-grain acceptance criterion carried over from a steel specification would work against the alloy, so grain-size requirements on a NiCr25FeAlY drawing should be reviewed before the order is placed.

Is there a temperature range NiCr25FeAlY should not be used in?

In the solution-annealed condition NiCr25FeAlY loses stress-rupture ductility between approximately 649 and 760 °C (1,200 to 1,400 °F). A stabilising anneal is normally specified for continuous service around 600 to 750 °C, and post-weld heat treatment is recommended for welded components used in that band.

Can NiCr25FeAlY be welded?

Yes. Weldability is fair by GTAW, plasma, GMAW and SMAW. Matching filler 2.4649 (ENi6025 / SNi6025) or the base grade is normally used and preheating is not usually required. Adequate back shielding is needed on gas-shielded welds. Post-weld heat treatment is recommended where the welded component will operate between 600 and 750 °C.

What certificates come with NiCr25FeAlY forgings?

Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. supplies an EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificate as standard, covering heat chemistry, mechanical test results, heat-treatment record, dimensional report and NDT report. An EN 10204 3.2 certificate countersigned by SGS, BV, TÜV, Lloyd's Register or DNV is available on request.

How is NiCr25FeAlY different from Inconel 601 and Incoloy 800HT?

NiCr25FeAlY contains more chromium and carbon than Inconel 601 and adds yttrium, giving a more adherent scale and higher creep strength above 1,000 °C. Incoloy 800HT is iron-based with 30 to 35 % nickel and is normally used at lower temperatures. For service above approximately 1,100 °C with thermal cycling, NiCr25FeAlY is usually the stronger selection.

What is the minimum order quantity for NiCr25FeAlY forgings?

Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. accepts single-piece prototype orders in NiCr25FeAlY as well as series production. Most sizes are melted to order, so the practical minimum is set by the ingot or billet required for the part rather than by a fixed piece count.

Where are these NiCr25FeAlY forgings made?

They are made by Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd., an open-die forging factory at No.1 Chengxiqiao Road, Zhouzhuang Town, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, China, approximately 150 km from Shanghai port. Enquiries: sales@steelforgepieces.com or +86 189 2135 9659.
