## Summary

NiCr33Mo8 is the DIN designation for the low-carbon nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy carrying material number 2.4643 and UNS number N06035. It is the grade sold commercially as HASTELLOY® G-35® alloy. Nominal composition is roughly 58 % nickel, 33.2 % chromium and 8.1 % molybdenum, which gives a calculated PREN of about 60.

The high chromium content makes it the reference material for wet-process phosphoric acid in fertiliser production, for nitric and other oxidising acids, and for resisting caustic de-alloying in hot sodium hydroxide. It resists chloride pitting and stress corrosion cracking far better than austenitic stainless steel.

Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. (No.1 Chengxiqiao Road, Zhouzhuang Town, Jiangyin, Jiangsu, China) forges NiCr33Mo8 to customer drawings as rings, flanges, bars, discs, shafts, sleeves and tube sheets, in single pieces of 15,000 kg and above and ring diameters of 4,000 mm and above. Parts are supplied solution annealed, ultrasonically tested and certified to EN 10204 3.1 or third-party 3.2. Enquiries: sales@steelforgepieces.com or +86-189-2135-9659.

## 1. Designation and equivalents

NiCr33Mo8 is a wrought nickel alloy specified under DIN 17744, the German standard covering nickel alloys with molybdenum and chromium. The name encodes the chemistry directly: nickel base, nominally 33 % chromium, 8 % molybdenum. It is a solid-solution strengthened alloy, meaning it takes its strength from alloying elements dissolved in the nickel matrix rather than from a precipitation-hardening heat treatment.

## 2. Chemical composition

The chromium level is what sets this grade apart. At about 33 %, it is roughly half again as much chromium as Alloy 625 and twice that of C-276, which is why it holds up in oxidising acids where higher-molybdenum alloys do not.

*Table 2. Nominal chemical composition, weight %.*

| Element | Ni | Cr | Mo | Fe | Co | W | Mn | Si | Al | Cu | C |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| wt % | 58 bal. | 33.2 | 8.1 | 2.0 max | 1.0 max | 0.6 max | 0.5 max | 0.6 max | 0.4 max | 0.3 max | 0.05 max |

Pitting resistance equivalent number, PREN = %Cr + 3.3 × %Mo = 33.2 + (3.3 × 8.1) ≈ 60, calculated from the nominal composition above. Nitrogen is not a specified addition in this grade, so the 16 × %N term is omitted.

## 3. Mechanical and physical properties

Two sets of numbers matter when you buy a forging. The specification minima are what the mill certificate has to beat. The typical values tell you what the material actually does. Both are given below.

## 4. Corrosion performance

This grade was developed for one job in particular: wet-process phosphoric acid, the impure P2O5 made by digesting phosphate rock with sulfuric acid for fertiliser production. That acid carries fluoride and chloride ions, and chlorides are what destroy most stainless steels beneath evaporator deposits. NiCr33Mo8 was designed around that problem.

*Table 6. ASTM G48, acidified 6 % ferric chloride.*

| Alloy | Critical pitting temp. | Critical crevice temp. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| NiCr33Mo8 / N06035 | 95 °C (203 °F) | 45 °C (133 °F) |
| Alloy 625 / N06625 | 100 °C (212 °F) | 40 °C (104 °F) |

| 254 SMO | 60 °C (140 °F) | 30 °C (86 °F) |
| 316L stainless | 15 °C (59 °F) | 0 °C (32 °F) |

*Table 7. ASTM G36, boiling 45 % MgCl2, stopped at 1,008 h.*

| Alloy | Time to cracking |
| --- | --- |
| NiCr33Mo8 / N06035 | No cracking in 1,008 h |
| Alloy 625 / N06625 | No cracking in 1,008 h |
| Alloy G-30 / N06030 | 168 h |
| 254 SMO | 24 h |
| 316L stainless | 2 h |

### Behaviour in common process chemicals

- Phosphoric acid. Corrosion rates stay at or below 0.01 mm/y in boiling 50–60 % acid, rising to about 0.14 mm/y at 85 % and 121 °C. This is the grade's home ground.
- Nitric and other oxidising acids. Approximately 0.01 mm/y in boiling 40 % nitric and about 0.1 mm/y in boiling 70 %, a direct result of the high chromium.
- Hot sodium hydroxide. Unusually resistant to caustic de-alloying compared with other Ni-Cr-Mo alloys.
- Reducing acids (HCl, H2SO4). Moderate resistance only, from the 8 % molybdenum. If hydrochloric acid dominates your service, C-276 or C-22 is usually the better choice.
- Welds. All-weld-metal corrosion resistance is close to that of the wrought base metal in the key inorganic acids.

## 5. Processing route

NiCr33Mo8 is not a forgiving forging alloy. The hot-working window is narrow and the alloy is more sensitive to strain and strain rate than austenitic stainless steel. That means moderate reductions, frequent reheats and a controlled anneal afterwards.

*Table 8. Processing route at Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd..*

| Step | Parameter |
| --- | --- |
| 1. Billet | Traceable billet or ingot, with the melt route recorded on the mill certificate. State any specific requirement, for example VIM + ESR, on the enquiry. |
| 2. Heating | Controlled soak in a calibrated furnace. Chart records supplied on request. |
| 3. Open-die forging | Start about 1204 °C (2200 °F), finish about 954 °C (1750 °F). Moderate reductions with reheats between passes. |
| 4. Ring rolling | Seamless rolled rings produced from upset and punched blanks, giving continuous circumferential grain flow. |
| 5. Solution anneal | Approximately 1121 °C (2050 °F), hold 10–30 min according to section thickness, then water quench. No ageing treatment, see the note below. |
| 6. Cold work control | Re-anneal after any cold forming producing 7 % or more outer-fibre elongation, to restore stress corrosion cracking resistance. |
| 7. Machining | Rough or finish machining to drawing. The alloy work hardens readily, so we use rigid setups, positive rake and generous feed. |
| 8. NDT and release | Ultrasonic and dye-penetrant testing, dimensional report, certification. See § 8. |

**Common specification error.** NiCr33Mo8 / UNS N06035 is not a precipitation-hardening alloy. It is supplied solution annealed only. Specifying "solution treat plus age" on this grade is incorrect: holding it in the 593–649 °C range measurably reduces weld-metal impact toughness. If your drawing calls for ageing, tell us and we will query it before cutting metal.

## 9. Alternative grades

Select by service chemistry rather than by price per kilo. Chromium buys resistance to oxidising conditions, molybdenum buys resistance to reducing conditions, and the two trade off against each other.

| C-22 (2.4602 / N06022) | 22 | 13 | Mixed oxidising and reducing service, versatile |
| Alloy 59 (2.4605 / N06059) | 23 | 16 | Flue gas desulphurisation, aggressive mixed acid |
| G-3 / G-30 family | 22–30 | 5–7 | Commercial phosphoric acid, the predecessors to this grade |
| Alloy 825 (2.4858 / N08825) | 21.5 | 3 | Lower-cost option for milder sulfuric and phosphoric service |

## 11. Frequently asked questions

### What is NiCr33Mo8?

NiCr33Mo8 is the DIN designation for a low-carbon nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with material number 2.4643 and UNS number N06035. Nominal composition is about 58 % nickel, 33.2 % chromium and 8.1 % molybdenum. The high chromium gives strong resistance to oxidising acids and wet-process phosphoric acid, while the molybdenum adds moderate resistance to reducing acids. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. supplies it as open-die forgings.

### What is NiCr33Mo8 equivalent to?

NiCr33Mo8 equals W.-Nr. 2.4643 under DIN 17744 and UNS N06035 in ASTM and ASME specifications. It is the grade sold commercially as HASTELLOY® G-35® alloy. Forgings are ordered to ASTM B564 / SB-564 or ASTM B462, bar to ASTM B574, plate to ASTM B575 and seamless pipe to ASTM B622.

### Can NiCr33Mo8 be age hardened?

No. NiCr33Mo8 is solid-solution strengthened, not precipitation hardening, so it is supplied solution annealed with no ageing step. The recommended anneal is approximately 1121 °C (2050 °F) with a 10 to 30 minute hold followed by water quenching. Holding the alloy in the 593 to 649 °C range measurably reduces weld-metal impact toughness and should be avoided.

### What is the forging temperature range for NiCr33Mo8?

Start hot forging at about 1204 °C (2200 °F) and finish at about 954 °C (1750 °F). The window is narrow and the alloy is sensitive to strain rate, so Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal forges in moderate reductions with frequent reheats, then re-anneals after hot working to restore corrosion resistance and ductility.

### How does NiCr33Mo8 compare with Alloy 625 and C-276?

NiCr33Mo8 carries about 33 % chromium against roughly 21 % in Alloy 625 and 16 % in C-276, so it is stronger in oxidising acids such as nitric, in wet-process phosphoric acid, and against caustic de-alloying in hot sodium hydroxide. C-276 and C-22 carry more molybdenum and perform better in reducing acids such as hydrochloric. Select on service chemistry rather than nickel content.

### Which standards cover NiCr33Mo8 forgings?

Forgings are normally ordered to ASTM B564 / ASME SB-564 or ASTM B462, which require a minimum tensile strength of 586 MPa (85 ksi), minimum 0.2 % yield of 241 MPa (35 ksi) and 30 % minimum elongation, solution annealed. Chemistry follows DIN 17744 or the ASTM table. The grade appears in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 and ASME Code Case 2484.

### What size NiCr33Mo8 forgings can Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal produce?

Single pieces of 15,000 kg and above, with ring and disc outside diameters of 4,000 mm and above. Shapes include seamless rolled rings, forged rings, flanges, round bars, discs and blanks, shafts and spindles, sleeves and bushings, tube sheets, nozzles, and valve bodies, stems and seat rings, all made to a customer drawing. Send a 2D or 3D drawing to sales@steelforgepieces.com for confirmation.

### What information is needed to quote a NiCr33Mo8 forging?

The drawing or finished dimensions, quantity, governing specification, supply condition, required NDT such as ultrasonic testing to ASTM A388, any ASTM G28 intergranular corrosion test, the certificate type (EN 10204 3.1 or third-party 3.2), and your delivery date and destination.
