Material Data Sheet No. 4023 December 1988 Edition

Nicrofer 7016 TiNb is a precipitation hardenable nickel-chromium-iron alloy containing titanium, niobium and aluminium, exhibiting good corrosion resistance at high and low temperature and high strength up to 820 °C (1500 °F). It can be delivered in the solution-treated or precipitation-hardened condition. Nicrofer 7016 TiNb is characterized by: • high tensile strength up to 600 °C (1100 °F) • high creep and rupture strength up to 820 °C (1500 °F) • high oxidation resistance up to 980 °C (1800 °F) • excellent mechanical properties in cryogenic environments • good corrosion resistance at...

Metallurgical structure Nicrofer 7016 TiNb has an austenitic structure. The excellent mechanical strength results from precipitation hardening of the matrix gamma phase (y) by formation of gamma prime (y’) phase together with some carbides. By a double ageing heat treatment a dublex gamma prime (y’) structure is formed. Several heat treatments are in use and are described in a special section, see Fig. 3 and Table 6 (°C) and Table 7 (°F). Corrosion resistance Nicrofer 7016 TiNb shows excellent general corrosion resistance at high and low temperatures and high resistance to stress-corrosion...

Nicrofer ® 7016 TiNb – alloy X-750 Joining The precipitation-hardening alloy Nicrofer 7016 TiNb can be welded by all conventional processes, including gas tungstenarc (GTAW/TIG), gas metal-arc (GMAW/MIG) and shielded metal-arc welding (SMAW/MMA). Low heat input is necessary. Prior to welding, material should be in the annealed condition, clean and free from scale, grease, marking paints etc. A zone approximately 25 mm (1 in.) wide on each side of the joint should be ground to bright metal. Nicrofer 7016 TiNb should be annealed or solution treated prior to welding. A post-weld heat treatment...
