Working with ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA
Is ERNiCrMo-10 easy to machine?
Weld deposit machines like solution-annealed C-22: low speed, heavy positive rake carbide, rigid setup and flood coolant; it work-hardens instantly if the tool rubs.
Can ERNiCrMo-10 be welded?
GTAW/GMAW/PAW with 100 % Ar (or Ar+He for GTAW, Ar+He+small CO₂-free mix for pulsed GMAW); stringer beads, low heat input (<1.5 kJ/mm), interpass <150 °C, no preheat, no PWHT required.
Can ERNiCrMo-10 be formed, bent or molded?
Supplied only as drawn wire/rod; annealed rods bend freely for feeding, cold-drawn spool wire is stiffer — keep drive-roll pressure low to avoid shaving.
What surface finishes work on ERNiCrMo-10?
Do not anodize; grind/pickle (HNO₃-HF) or electropolish the weld and remove all heat tint to restore full pitting and crevice resistance.

ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA — frequently asked
What is ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA used for?
ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA is typically used for chemical process piping, flue gas desulfurization equipment, pollution control scrubbers and pharmaceutical reactor vessels. In short: matches Hastelloy C-22; oxidizing and reducing acids; service to 1000 °C.
What is the yield strength of ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA?
ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA has a typical yield strength of 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) and a tensile strength of 730 MPa (106 ksi) — stronger than 62% of nickel alloy grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 2 listed tempers.
Is ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated poor (20/100, better than 53% of nickel alloy grades). Weld deposit machines like solution-annealed C-22: low speed, heavy positive rake carbide, rigid setup and flood coolant; it work-hardens instantly if the tool rubs.
Can ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated excellent (92/100). GTAW/GMAW/PAW with 100 % Ar (or Ar+He for GTAW, Ar+He+small CO₂-free mix for pulsed GMAW); stringer beads, low heat input (<1.5 kJ/mm), interpass <150 °C, no preheat, no PWHT required.

Do not anodize; grind/pickle (HNO₃-HF) or electropolish the weld and remove all heat tint to restore full pitting and crevice resistance.
Can ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA be formed, bent or molded?
Supplied only as drawn wire/rod; annealed rods bend freely for feeding, cold-drawn spool wire is stiffer — keep drive-roll pressure low to avoid shaving.
What is the maximum service temperature of ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA?
ERNiCrMo-10 AW+SA is rated for continuous use to about 1,000°C (1,832 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
