Corrosion Resistance

Pitting Resistance Equivalency Number- A means of comparing the corrosion resistance of alloys is by their Pitting Resistance Equivalency Number or 'PREN'. Alloys exhibiting higher PREN values are generally found to be more resistant to localized corrosion than those with lower PREN values. The PREN can be calculated by several different equations based upon the chemical composition of the alloys. Some equations are applicable to stainless steels while others are better applied to nickel-based alloys. The equation used here is generally accepted as being applicable to a wide range of alloy compositions. When comparing alloys by their PREN it is absolutely necessary that the same equation be used for all materials to be compared. Comparing alloys by PRENs generated from different equations will give erroneous results. For more information on the use of PRENs to compare the corrosion resistance of materials, refer to the Special Metals publication, “High Performance Alloys for Resistance to Aqueous Corrosion" or visit the Special Metals website, www.specialmetals.com.
  PRENs for alloy 27-7MO and similar materials are seen in Table 5. Based on these values of PREN, alloy 27-7MO would be predicted to offer significantly better corrosion resistance than alloy 25-6MO (and similar grades of super-austenitic stainless steel) and even superior performance to alloy 625. Alloy 27-7MO's resistance approaches that of alloy C-276.

Critical Pitting Temperatures and Critical Crevice Corrosion Temperatures

Alloys may also be ranked by the threshold temperature at which they begin to be attacked in a given medium. Samples may be directly exposed to the medium which may induce pitting, or a crevice device may be attached which may induce crevice corrosion. The samples are exposed at increasing temperatures until corrosive attack occurs. The lowest temperature at which measurable corrosion takes place is defined as the Critical Pitting Temperature (CPT) or Critical Crevice Temperature (CCT), depending on whether or not a crevice device is attached to the sample. One test method is ASTM G48. Method C is a pitting test while Method D is a crevice corrosion test. The maximum test temperature is 85°C (185°F) as the test solution becomes unstable at higher temperatures. For procedural details, the reader is directed to the test procedure published by ASTM.
  CPT and CCT values for some alloys are presented in Table 6. It is seen that alloy 27-7MO exhibits higher values than alloys 25-6MO and 625 and approaches those of alloy C-276.

Critical corrosion temperatures (CPT and CCT) for an alloy can be determined in essentially any corrosive aqueous medium. "Green Death" is a well known aggressive medium that is often used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys. It is composed of 11.9% H2SO4 + 1.3% HCl + 1% FeCl3 + 1% CuCl2.

Nickel-chromium alloys and austenitic and super-austenitic

When tested by ASTM G 28, Method A, annealed INCOLOY alloy 27-7MO wrought products exhibit a typical corrosion rate of 15 mpy.

Resistance to Corrosion by Seawater

Nickel-chromium alloys and austenitic and super-austenitic stainless steels containing molybdenum are well known for their resistance to corrosion in seawater and marine environments. A test program conducted at the LaQue Center for Corrosion Technology in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina (a laboratory well known for marine corrosion testing) produced data showing that INCOLOY alloy 27-7MO offers corrosion-resistance superior to many of the corrosion-resistant alloys commonly used in marine service. Samples of sheet to which Teflon crevice devices were attached were exposed to flowing natural seawater at 30°C for 60 days. Results of the tests are reported in Table 8.

Resistance to Corrosion by Acids

The molybdenum content of alloy 27-7MO imparts resistance to reducing acids while the alloy's content of chromium results in resistance to oxidizing acids. With its balanced composition the alloy offers resistance to mixed acid environments. Thus, alloy 27-7MO is particularly useful for service in chemical processing and wet scrubbing

systems for air pollution control.
  Alloy 27-7MO and other materials were tested in hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and a mixed acid solution. Results of those tests are reported in Table 9.
  Alloy 27-7MO also offers excellent resistance to attack by phosphoric, sulfuric and hydrochloric acids, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5. Figure 6 shows the CPT of several alloys in green death solution.

Resistance to Corrosion in Flue Gas Desulfurization Service

Components for service in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems for removal of sulfur dioxide from high sulfur coalfired electric power utilities are exposed to very aggressive conditions. The environment inside the scrubbers is typically sulfuric acid at very low pH (1 or less) containing significant concentrations of halide ions (chlorides and fluorides) at temperatures up to 80°C (176°F). To determine the performance of alloy 27-7MO and similar alloys, test specimens were exposed to a test solution that has been used to rank materials for FGD service. The solution contained 60% H2SO4 + 2.5% HCl + 0.2% HF + 0.5% flyash at 80°C (176°F). The test duration was one week. The resulting corrosion rates of the materials tested are reported in Table 10.

Resistance to Corrosion in Sour Gas Service

INCOLOY® alloy 27-7MO is the next-generation super austenitic material for sour gas, seawater, brine, and high chloride environments in the oil & gas sector. Alloy 27-7MO U-bend corrosion test specimens exposed for two months in boiling saturated sodium chloride were fully resistant to stress corrosion cracking and pitting corrosion. Alloy 27-7MO has improved corrosion resistance and higher strength compared to INCOLOY® alloy 25-6MO and similar 6% molybdenum alloys. Corrosion resistance of alloy 27-7MO is compared with other alloys in Table 11. Effect of cold work on hardness of alloy 27- 7MO in the as-cold drawn condition is shown in Figure 6. Applications in the oil and gas sector include wireline, armor wire, screens, and subsea banding.

Fabrication

INCOLOY alloy 27-7MO is readily fabricated, formed, and joined utilizing conventional equipment, techniques, and products. Forming can either be hot or cold.
 Alloy 27-7MO is best hot worked in the temperature range of 1800 to 2100°F (980 to 1150°C). Annealing is done at 2050- 2150°F (1121-1177°C). Stagnant oxidizing conditions must be avoided, particularly when heating the alloy above 1700°F (925°C), to prevent catastrophic oxidation. For example, attack can occur at crevice points when flat rolled products are stacked or laid against each other in a heat treating furnace. Forced gas and air flow are recommended. Cooling after heat treatment should be by rapid air cool or water quench. Prolonged exposure to temperatures between 1100 and 1700°F (600 to 930°C) should be avoided, as undesirable phases such as sigma can form. It can also cause sensitization which may lead to intergranular attack or increased susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking.

INCOLOY® alloy 27-7MO

Fabrication, continued

The work hardening rate of alloy 27-7MO is similar to that of INCOLOY alloy 25-6MO (Figure 7). Equipment used to form austenitic (300 series) stainless steels and nickel-based alloys will normally be suitable for forming alloy 27-7MO. The effect of cold work on the mechanical properties of INCOLOY alloy 27-7MO is shown in Figure 8. Additional information on fabrication is available in the Special Metals publication, "Fabricating", on the Special Metals website, www.specialmetals.com.

Welding

INCOLOY alloy 27-7MO products are readily joined using conventional welding processes such as gas tungsten-arc (GTAW), gas metal-arc (GMAW), shielded metal-arc (SMAW), submerged arc (SAW), and plasma arc (PAW). Alloy 27-7MO (like other super-austenitic alloys) suffers a loss of corrosion resistance when autogenously welded or when welded with matching composition filler metal. Thus, overmatching composition welding products (i.e., those with higher molybdenum content) such as INCONEL Filler Metals 622, and 686CPT® and INCONEL Welding Electrodes 122 and INCO-WELD® Welding Electrode 686CPT are used. INCONEL Filler Metal 622 and INCONEL Welding Electrode 122 are considered optimum for joining the alloy to itself or to dissimilar materials. Weld procedures which minimize dilution by the base metal will result in the most corrosion-resistant weldments. Maintaining low heat input will minimize elemental segregation in the fusion zone and optimize corrosion resistance. The interpass weld temperature should be limited to 300°F (150°C).
  Post-weld heat treatment is not required when overmatching composition welding products are used. However, autogenous weldments should be post weld heat treated at a minimum temperature of 2000°F (1100°C) for 5 minutes and air cooled or water quenched. This heat treatment will improve the corrosion resistance of products welded with filler metal as well. Pickling after welding or heat treatment is also generally effective in optimizing corrosion resistance. Removal of heat tint on the back of the welded component is often beneficial in improving corrosion resistance.
