Thermal aging behavior of ERNiCr-3 alloy (weld and base metal)
The nickel-base filler metal alloy ERNiCr-3, containing nominally 67% Ni, 20% Cr, 3% Fe, 3% Mn, and 2.5% Nb, is used widely to make welds for elevated-temperature service. To determine the effect of elevated temperature on tensile and creep-rupture properties of ERNiCr-3, weld metal specimens were thermally aged to 10,000 h at 510/sup 0/C, to 15,000 h at 566/sup 0/C, and to 1000 h at 677/sup 0/C. Wrought ERNiCr-3 was also aged at 566 and 677/sup 0/C. The 0.2% yield strength of the ERNiCr-3 weld metal increased with thermal aging time at 510 and 566/sup 0/C. The ultimate tensile strength also increased continuously with aging time at 566/sup 0/C, whereas at 510/sup 0/C, it went through a maximum (the strength of the material aged 10,000 h was less than was that aged 5000 h).
