ASTM B581 Nickel-Chromium-Iron-Molybdenum-Copper Alloy Rods

ASTM B581 is a standard specification for nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloy rods, published by the United States Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) to ensure that the quality and performance of nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloy rods meet the needs of specific industrial applications. The following is a detailed analysis of ASTM B581 NiCrIron-Molybdenum Copper Alloy Rod Rod:

1. Overview of alloys

The nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloys covered by ASTM B581 include a variety of grades, such as N06030, N06985, etc., which are known for their excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. They are mainly composed of elements such as nickel, chromium, iron, molybdenum, and copper, and the content of each element is precisely controlled to achieve the desired performance characteristics.

Second, the chemical composition

The chemical composition of nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloys is one of the key factors in their properties. According to ASTM B581, different grades of alloys have different chemical composition ranges. Taking N06030 alloy as an example, its chemical composition is roughly as follows (in percentages):

Nickel (Ni): Margin (i.e. nickel except for other specified elements)

Chromium(Cr):28.0%~31.5%

Iron(Fe):13.0%~17.0%

Molybdenum(Mo):4.0%~6.0%

Copper(Cu):1.5%~2.46%

The content of other elements (such as carbon C, silicon Si, manganese Mn, phosphorus P, sulfur S, tungsten W, cobalt Co and tantalum Ta + niobium Nb) is also strictly limited to ensure stable performance of the alloy.

3. Performance characteristics

Corrosion resistance: Nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloys have excellent corrosion resistance, especially in highly acidic environments. This makes them ideal for applications such as wet phosphoric acid production and processing equipment, nitric acid hydrofluoric acid pickling equipment, and structural steel for acid oil and gas wells.

Mechanical properties: These alloys also have good mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation after break, which can meet the material strength requirements of various industrial applications.

Processability: The processing performance of the alloy is also good, which is convenient for manufacturing parts of various shapes and sizes.

Fourth, the field of application

ASTM B581 Nickel-Chromium-Iron-Molybdenum Copper Alloy Rod is widely used in the following fields:
