These alloys are known to have excellent resistance to the corrosive attack of hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and all types of organic acids.
The usual techniques for fabricating chemical plant equipment, such as tanks and pipes involves welding. Welding, which subjects portions of the alloys to high temperatures results in reduced intergranular corrosion resistance near the welded joints. The poor corrosion resistance after welding may be overcome in nickel-molybdenum alloys by a post-weld heat treatment comprising heating the fabricated alloys at a temperature in the range of 900 to l,175 C. for about 2 to 72 hours. However, this treatment introduces practical problems, which are obvious to metallurgists, for example, scaling and distortion, due to expansion stresses on heating and cooling. This technique for restoring resistance to intergranular corrosion through postweld heat treatment has not enjoyed wide popularity.
Another technique for avoiding intergranular corrosion in nickel-molybdenum alloys after welding has been vanadium stabilization." This technique is described, for example, in US Pat. No. 2,959,480, issued to G. N. Flint. Basically, vanadium ranging in amounts from 1.1 to 2.3percent is incorporated in the alloy, which in some manner not entirely understood, prevents the welded nickel-molybdenum alloy from becoming vulnerable to intergranular corrosion. Vanadium stabilized alloys have drawbacks: Because of their compositions, they have not developed their ultimate corrosion resistance and notch toughness, especially at room temperature and below.
In recent years the growth of cryogenic applications, such as the manufacture of liquified gases, has created a demand for chemical plant equipment that has the requisite mechanical strength at cryogenic temperatures defined herein as below C. Most alloys are very brittle at these temperatures and, therefore. unsuitable for these applications.
It has now been discovered that nickel-molybdenum alloys with the improved corrosion resistance and very good low temperature impact strength, as measured by notch ductility tests, can be obtained by close control of the amounts of carbon, silicon, vanadium, boron and zirconium present in nickel-molybdenum alloys but without vanadium stabilization as already described. Alloys according to this invention are advantageous, because they are resistant to intergranular corrosion when welded and do not need a postwelding solution treatment. Further, these alloys have good tensile properties, and high impact strength at room temperatures and cryogenic temperatures and good workability. Alloys according to this invention have corrosion resistance superior to vanadium stabilized alloys before and after welding.
THE INVENTION Briefly, according to this invention, there is provided an alloy comprising molybdenum from 20 to 40 percent by weight, iron up to 10 percent, cobalt up to 4 percent, chromium up to 5 percent, manganese up to 2 percent, phosphorous up to 0.03 percent, sulphur up to 0.03 percent, carbon up to 0.1 percent, silicon up to 0.1 percent, vanadium from 0.1 to 1.0 percent, boron from 0.001 to 0.035 percent, zirconium from 0.01 to 1 percent, and the remainder nickel plus incidental impurities.
According to a preferred embodiment of this invention, an alloy is provided comprising 26 to 32 percent by weight molybdenum, up to 7 percent iron, up to 2.5 percent cobalt, up to 1 percent chromium, up to 1 percent manganese, up to 0.025 percent phosphorous, up to 0.03 percent sulphur, up to 0.03 percent carbon, up to 0.03 percent silicon, from 0.2 to 0.8 percent vanadium, from 0.001 to 0.02 percent boron, from 0.01 to 0.1 percent zirconium, and the remainder nickel and incidental impurities.
EXAMPLE A 3,000 pound heat of an alloy, according to this invention, hereafter referred to as alloy A, was prepared. To insure a siliconand carbon-free composition, the heat was melted under vacuum using raw materials relatively free of these elements. While in this example the melt was prepared using vacuum techniques, with other proper melting techniques the improvements mentioned herein would be attainable. The chemical analysis of the ingots cast from the melt was as follows: carbon 0.002 percent, manganese 0.460 percent, silicon less than 0.010 percent, sulphur 0.010 percent. phosphorous 0.002 percent, molybdenum 26.900 percent, iron 5.250 percent, cobalt 1.010 percent, vanadium 0.240 percent, chromium 0.140 percent, boron 0.0025 percent, zirconium 0.029 percent, the balance nickel, except for incidental trace impurities including magnesium, calcium and oxygen.
The ingots cast from the melt had 1 l-inch X 15-inch cross sections. These ingots were hot forged (1,900 to 2,l75 F.) into 3.4-inch X 1 l-inch slabs. The slabs were hot-rolled to A- inch-thick plates, annealed and pickled. The good hot workability of alloy A, according to this invention, enabled it to be broken down and rolled using well-known techniques.
COMPARATIVE TESTING The properties, both physical and chemical, of the alloy A, were ascertained and compared with the properties of two related nickel-molybdenum alloys having the chemical compositions set forth in the following table:
Corrosion testing samples of alloy A and comparative alloy B were prepared from solution treated (2,165 F. 20 minutes water quench) plates with dimensions of /a-inch X 7'7-inches X 6 inches. Some samples were tested as is while others were TIG welded using pure tungsten electrodes under an argon atmosphere. One sample plate of each alloy was given a single pass of the welding electrode and another sample of each alloy was given three passes of the electrode. The unwelded and welded plates were then sectioned into A-inch 15-inch X Xi-inch sections. The sections of the welded plates included the weld bead. Each specimen was surface ground on all faces, including the weld bead, ultrasonically degreased in freon fluorocarbon and cleaned in a 10 percent nitric acid solution.
The dimensions of the corrosion samples were measured to the nearest thousandth of an inch. They were weighed in grams to the fourth decimal place. The samples were tested for corrosion in boiling 20 percent hydrochloric acid, boiling Alloy A and the vanadium stabilized alloy B have comparable tensile properties up to at least l,200 F. Comparative room temperature tensile data is given in the following table:
85 percent phosphoric acid and boiling 20 percent formic acid.

the lower temperature is more easily achieved in most industrial shops.
Table WA and table lVB establish that alloy A, according to this invention, has unusually superior impact properties, both at room temperature and down to 320 F.
The scientific basis for the improved corrosion resistance and impact strength of nickel-molybdenum alloys, according to this invention, is not entirely understood. However, it is believed that substantial elimination of carbon and silicon and the presence of boron, zirconium, and vanadium in controlled amounts contribute to the homogeneity of the alloy by preventing grain boundary precipitation ofdetrimental secondary phases and by establishing a more stable chemical and electronic balance which prevents migration of deleterious trace elements to the grain boundaries. The beneficial structural stability is achieved without the aid of vanadium stabilization.
Having thus defined the invention with the detail and particularity required by the Patent Statutes what is desired protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the following claims.
