Chemical Composition(*)
mass percentage
Centralloy® ET 45 Micro is an air melted nickel-base alloy consisting essentially of a Ni-Cr-Fe-Si matrix. The high chromium
level, rare earth additions and primary carbide formation provide
the best compromise between good high temperature corrosion
resistance and high temperature creep rupture strength.

The presence of carbon leads to the formation of a series of
carbides:
(*) This is a typical composition which may be slightly modified
according to the application.
a) Intergranularly occuring primary carbides, nitrides or carbonitrides of general form M(C,N) where M is usually niobium,
titanium and zirconium. These greatly affect the generation
of good high temperature properties. The phase is visible in
unetched micro specimens, its color varying from the orange/
yellow of the nitride to the grey/mauve of the carbide.
b) C
hromium-rich intergranular carbides of the M7C3 and M23C6
types. These carbides have a profound influence on properties
due to the decomposition and re-precipitation reactions in
service producing secondary carbides in a rather uniform dispersion. By this mechanism dislocation movement is impeded
with the result of significant strengthening at elevated temperatures.

Manufacturing Characteristics

Temperature, ϒC
In general terms the machinability of Centralloy® ET 45 Micro is
similar to that of other heat resistant alloys.
Welding
For critical, highly stressed and corrosion resistant joints coated
electrodes, flux cored wire and bare filler material are commercially available. These welding consumables have high
strength properties at elevated temperatures with good retained
ductilities. Besides fillerless PAW, TIG and MAW have been used
satisfactorily for component fabrication or repair welding. Preheating and postweld heat treatment of the joint is not necessary.
For dissimilar weld joints to austenitic materials the same filler
materials are recommended. Further information will be supplied
upon request.
Health and Safety Information
The operation and maintenance of welding equipment should
conform to the provisions of relevant national standards for the
protection of personnel.
Mechanical ventilation is advisable, and under certain conditions
in confined spaces, is necessary during welding operations in
order to prevent possible exposure to hazardous fumes, gases,
or dust that may occur.
Nickel- and iron-base materials may contain, in varying concentrations, elemental constitutions of chromium, iron, manganese,
molybdenum, cobalt, nickel, tungsten and aluminium. Inhalation
of metal dust from welding, grinding, melting and dross handling
of these alloy systems may cause adverse health effects.
The information in this publication is as complete and accurate as possible at the time of publication. Variations in properties can occur to production and process routes.
However, no warranty or any legal liability for its accuracy, completeness and results to be obtained for any particular use of the information herein contained is given. Where
possible the test conditions are fully described. Where reference, is made to the balance of the alloy’s composition it is not guaranteed that this balance is composed exclusively of the element mentioned, but that it predominates and others are present only in minimal quantities. The creep rupture data are frequently insufficient to be directly
translatable to specific design or performance applications without examination and verification of their applicability and suitability by professionally qualified personnel. The
primary units for property data are based on those of the SI-system.
