UNS N06002 is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy with
outstanding strength and oxidation resistance in temperatures
reaching as high as 1200℃. With superior workability and
weldability as well, it is excellent for use in gas turbine members
as well as various heating furnace parts.
Workability
We recommend using a range of 982 to 1177℃ for hot working
N06002. N06002 can also be easily cold worked. Note that a greater
force is required to work N06002 than standard austenitic stainless
steels. Solution treatment should be applied after working to
obtain favorable creep properties.
Weldability
Such techniques as TIG, MIG and shield metal arc welding can be
used for N06002 as with standard austenitic stainless steels.
Before welding, the weld surface should be cleaned off oxidizing
scales as well as oil and dirt.
Heat Treatment
The recommended solution heat treatment temperature is between
1149 and 1177℃, the range stipulated in SAE AMS 5536L. Rapid
cooling is required after heat treatment to prevent
precipitates.
