Working with N10624-CD
Is N10624 easy to machine?
Treat like Hastelloy B-2/B-3: rigid setup, positive-rake carbide, slow speeds (15–25 m/min), heavy positive feed to cut below the work-hardened skin, flood coolant, never dwell.
Can N10624 be welded?
GTAW/GMAW/SMAW with matching Ni-Mo filler, low heat input, interpass <95 °C, no preheat; post-weld solution anneal + water quench if the weldment sees hot reducing acid.
Can N10624 be formed, bent or molded?
Cold forms well in the annealed condition but needs ~2× the force of austenitic stainless; hot work 900–1180 °C followed by rapid cooling, and re-anneal after >10–15 % cold work.
What surface finishes work on N10624?
Pickle in HF-HNO₃-free nitric-free acid blends carefully (nitric attacks this alloy) — prefer mechanical descaling, grinding and electropolishing; no anodising, no plating normally required.

N10624-CD — frequently asked
What is N10624-CD used for?
N10624-CD is typically used for hydrochloric acid handling equipment, reducing-acid process vessels and chemical processing piping and fittings. In short: reducing-acid Ni-Mo alloy; high ductility, low machinability; not for oxidizing media.
What is the yield strength of N10624-CD?
N10624-CD has a typical yield strength of 700 MPa (102 ksi) and a tensile strength of 1,000 MPa (145 ksi) — stronger than 81% of nickel alloy grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 5 listed tempers.
Is N10624-CD easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated poor (25/100, better than 76% of nickel alloy grades). Treat like Hastelloy B-2/B-3: rigid setup, positive-rake carbide, slow speeds (15–25 m/min), heavy positive feed to cut below the work-hardened skin, flood coolant, never dwell.
Can N10624-CD be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated good (60/100). GTAW/GMAW/SMAW with matching Ni-Mo filler, low heat input, interpass <95 °C, no preheat; post-weld solution anneal + water quench if the weldment sees hot reducing acid.
What surface finishes work on N10624-CD?
Pickle in HF-HNO₃-free nitric-free acid blends carefully (nitric attacks this alloy) — prefer mechanical descaling, grinding and electropolishing; no anodising, no plating normally required.
Can N10624-CD be formed, bent or molded?
Cold forms well in the annealed condition but needs ~2× the force of austenitic stainless; hot work 900–1180 °C followed by rapid cooling, and re-anneal after >10–15 % cold work.
What is the maximum service temperature of N10624-CD?
N10624-CD is rated for continuous use to about 430°C (806 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between N10624-SA and N10624 CW-H?
SA is the default condition — standard supply condition for plate, sheet, tube and forgings in corrosive-service equipment; maximum ductility and corrosion resistance. CW-H: springs, wire and hard strip where strength governs; ductility and corrosion margin are reduced, stress-relief recommended. Yield strength is 400 MPa in SA versus 950 MPa in CW-H.
