Working with ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged
Is ENiCrCoMo-1 easy to machine?
Weld deposits machine like alloy 617 — low speed, heavy positive-rake carbide tooling, rigid setup and flood coolant; grind rather than mill where possible.
Can ENiCrCoMo-1 be welded?
Redry electrodes (300–350 °C) before use, weld DCEP with stringer beads, low heat input and interpass ≤150 °C; no preheat needed but keep dilution from carbon/low-alloy base metals low to avoid hot cracking.
Can ENiCrCoMo-1 be formed, bent or molded?
Not a wrought product form — the deposit is used as-welded; joint groove design should allow small beads and easy slag removal.
What surface finishes work on ENiCrCoMo-1?
Remove slag completely between passes, then wire-brush/pickle-passivate; the Al-bearing oxide must be ground off before any coating or braze operation.

ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged — frequently asked
What is ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged used for?
ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged is typically used for gas turbine combustor welding, high-temperature furnace fabrication and aerospace superalloy repair. In short: highest-temperature Ni electrode; oxidation resistant to 1100 °C; superalloy repair filler.
What is the yield strength of ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged?
ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged has a typical yield strength of 500 MPa (72.5 ksi) and a tensile strength of 780 MPa (113 ksi) — stronger than 73% of nickel alloy grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 3 listed tempers.
Is ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated poor (15/100, worse than 76% of nickel alloy grades). Weld deposits machine like alloy 617 — low speed, heavy positive-rake carbide tooling, rigid setup and flood coolant; grind rather than mill where possible.
Can ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated good (60/100). Redry electrodes (300–350 °C) before use, weld DCEP with stringer beads, low heat input and interpass ≤150 °C; no preheat needed but keep dilution from carbon/low-alloy base metals low to avoid hot cracking.
What surface finishes work on ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged?
Remove slag completely between passes, then wire-brush/pickle-passivate; the Al-bearing oxide must be ground off before any coating or braze operation.
Can ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged be formed, bent or molded?
Not a wrought product form — the deposit is used as-welded; joint groove design should allow small beads and easy slag removal.
What is the maximum service temperature of ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged?
ENiCrCoMo-1 Aged is rated for continuous use to about 1,100°C (2,012 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between ENiCrCoMo-1-AW and ENiCrCoMo-1-SA?
AW is the default condition — standard supply/qualification condition for the electrode: deposit used directly in the as-welded state for high-temperature piping and combustor repair. SA: choose when the fabrication receives a full solution anneal (e.g. weld-overlay clad plate or tube assemblies) to dissolve interdendritic carbides and restore ductility/creep uniformity. Yield strength is 430 MPa in AW versus 350 MPa in SA.
