Extract

Ni-Mo alloys containing at least 26 wt.% Mo have a negligible corrosion rate in boiling 10% hydrochloric acid and are therefore used in corrosive environments. A series of commercial Ni-Mo alloys has been developed with subtle variations in chemical composition. These alloys usually contain ∼28 wt.% Mo with additions of up to 5 % Fe and Cr. A significant amount of research has been performed to understand the microstructure and properties of these alloys, although most of the effort has concentrated on the Ni-Mo binary system. In some alloys with low Fe and Cr contents, a severe embrittlement problem has been observed due to the formation of the Ni4Mo (D1a-ordered) phase within the microstructure. The calculated section of the ternary Ni-Mo-Fe phase diagram in Fig. 1 illustrates that the addition of Fe stabilises Ni3Mo with respect to the brittle Ni4Mo phase.
