They are characterised by strong resistance to corrosion, oxidation, wear, and loss of strength at elevated temperatures, making them suitable for turbine components, chemical-processing equipment, and other demanding high-temperature applications. This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering. ## Also known as 17 designations · 5 standards · nothing hidden This grade’s own name recorded in our sources as this grade’s own designation under that standard. Indicative taken from a published cross-reference table; a close match, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify against the mill certificate before ordering. Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.

Each one is itself a route that leads back here. ## Chemical composition 9 elements on file · weight % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | ≤ 0.08 | | Si | ≤ 0.15 | | Mn | ≤ 0.35 | | S | 0.005 | | Ni | ≥ 99.6 — Unusual | | Cu | ≤ 0.15 | | Ti | ≤ 0.1 | | Mg | ≤ 0.15 | | Fe | ≤ 0.25 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Sulfur Nickel Copper Titanium Magnesium Iron 0.01 % 0.1 % 1 % 10 % 100 % The scale is logarithmic, not the element’s raw share of the alloy — the only honest way to fit 0.01 % and 100 % in one picture, and it means every value here can be compared with every other. | Element | As published source text, verbatim | Min% by weight | Max% by weight | Bound | |---|---|---|---|---| | C | ≤0,08 | — | 0.080 | Max | | Mg | ≤0,15 | — | 0.150 | Max | | Si | ≤0,15 | — | 0.150 | Max | | S | 0,005 | 0.005 | 0.005 | Exact | | Ti | ≤0,10 | — | 0.100 | Max | | Mn | ≤0,35 | — | 0.350 | Max | | Fe | ≤0,25 | — | 0.250 | Max | | Ni | ≥99,6 | 99.600 | — | Min | | Cu | ≤0,15 | — | 0.150 | Max | The published column is the source string byte-for-byte, decimal comma and all; Min and Max are the parsed bounds. Elements not listed have no value on file — they are omitted, never inferred. ## Predicted transformation temperatures Not enough recorded composition to predict a transformation temperature for this grade — missing: Ni, Cr, Mo. ## Physical & mechanical properties Density 8,89 g/cm³ Exact An absent property means we hold no value for it — it is left out rather than estimated, interpolated from a neighbouring grade, or filled from a handbook. It does not mean the property is undefined for the material. ## Similar grades — and why Selection rule, stated so you can disagree with it: same number class 2.4, a shared category, and a published range for Ni / Mn that overlaps this grade’s. These are neighbours in composition space — they are not equivalents, and none is claimed to be interchangeable with this grade.
