NiCr28FeSiCe

NiCr28FeSiCe is a material in the category Nickel and cobalt alloys, held under material number 2.4889. Its recorded composition includes C 0.05–0.12%, Si 2.5–3%, Cr 26–29%, Fe 21–25% and Ni ≥ 45%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include HB 220. Its recorded density is 7.85 g/cm³.

About Nickel and cobalt alloys

Nickel and cobalt alloys are metallic materials whose properties are developed through nickel-, cobalt-, or combined alloying systems. 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.

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.

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, Mo.

Physical & mechanical properties

Density7,85g/cm³Exact

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.

Every figure holds only for the condition on its own row. Values are never merged across conditions or across sources, never averaged, and never interpolated between two rows. An em dash means no value on file — never zero. Figures are converted to the unit in the column header; the source’s own wording is kept and shown where the two differ.

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 / Cr 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.
