HIGH CARBON 35Cr-45Ni-1Nb

Alloy type
Microstructure
High carbon 35Cr-45Ni-1Nb to match heat-resisting

castings, which are often micro-alloyed with Ti and Zr.
In the as-welded condition the multi-pass weld metal

microstructure consists of austenite with primary eutectic
and secondary precipitated carbides.
Materials to be welded
Welding guidelines
Proprietary alloys include:
For the thicker section materials a preheat may prove

beneficial owing to the low ductility of the material. There
would not normally be any requirement for PWHT.
Paralloy H46M (Doncasters Paralloy)

Manaurite XT/XTM (Manoir Industries)
Centralloy ET45 Micro (Schmidt + Clemens-Centracero)
Lloyds T80 (LBA)
Lloyds T75MA (LBA)
Related alloy groups
Applications
There are a number of other high carbon austenitic alloys

for high temperature service e.g.. 25Cr-35Ni-1Nb types
(data sheet C-50).
These alloys have superior carburisation and oxidation

resistance to alloys based on 25%Cr-35%Ni for service up
to 1150C but with some reduction in creep strength.
Products available
Applications include pyrolysis coils and reformer tubes

for the petrochemical industry.

purity NiCr core wire. Recovery is approximately 140% with respect to core wire, 65% with respect to whole
electrode.

Storage
3 hermetically sealed ring-pull metal tins per carton, with unlimited shelf life. Direct use from tin is satisfactory
for longer than a working shift of 8h. Excessive exposure of electrodes to humid conditions will cause some
moisture pick-up and increase the risk of porosity.
For electrodes that have been exposed:
Redry 150 250C/1-2h to restore to as-packed condition. Maximum 350 C, 3 cycles, 10h total.
Storage of redried electrodes at 50 200C in holding oven or heated quiver: no limit, but maximum 6 weeks
recommended. Recommended ambient storage conditions for opened tins (using plastic lid): < 60% RH, > 18C.
