Ni 4. FABRICATION

15 Cr 4.01 Formability
4.011 Hot forming. Maximum heating temperature for forging
7 Fe or hot- rolling is 2250F. Somewhat lower temperatures
for final reheating will produce a finer-grained product.
Heavy forging or hot-rolling should be done between 2250F
INCONEL and 1900F. Light work can be continued down to 1600F.
ALLOY 600*- 012 Cold forming. Alloy can be cold-formed by standard
processes used for steel or stainless steel.

4.02 Machining and Grinding

Alloy is best machined with heavy-duty equipment using
cutting cools large and heavy enough to withstand the load
and quickly dissipate heat. Either high -speed- steel or
cemented carbide tools may be used. For rough turning,
interrupted cuts, cutting with minimum surface work-
hardening, finishing to close tolerances, or finishing to
the lowest RMS surface, grades M-3S or T-15 tool steel
should be used. Cemented carbide cools are best for high
speed continuous cutting to ordinary tolerances and smooth¬
ness. Grade C-2 is recommended for light roughing and
finishing while Grade C-6 is best for heavier work.

4.03 Welding
Alloy can be joined by the usual welding, brazing and
soldering processes common to industry. Table 4.03.

4.04 Heat Treatment

4.041 Heating and annealing should be performed in a slightly
reducing sulfur-free atmosphere with at least 2 percent
carbon monoxide plus hydrogen.
4. 042 Bright annealing can be performed by using a dry hydrogen
atmosphere.

4. 05 Surface Treatment
4.051 Because of the refractory nature of the oxide film which
is formed on the alloy and me danger of intergranular
attack from acid solutions, the use of fused salt -bath
descaling is recommended.
4.052 Black finishing is obtained by using methods which are
standard for nickel.
