Master Alloys

K461

K461, designated C74610, is a nickel-base casting alloy with a high chromium content and no deliberate cobalt addition. Chromium gives the oxide scale and hot corrosion resistance, the combined aluminium and titanium give a gamma-prime phase for creep strength, and boron strengthens the grain boundaries. It is supplied as as-cast master alloy bar and ingot for remelting in a vacuum induction furnace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is K461?

K461 (C74610, Cast Alloy 461, GJB 5512.1) is a master alloys grade. K461, designated C74610, is a nickel-base casting alloy with a high chromium content and no deliberate cobalt addition. Chromium gives the oxide scale and hot corrosion resistance, the combined aluminium and titanium give a gamma-prime phase for creep strength, and boron strengthens the grain boundaries. It is supplied as as-cast master alloy bar and ingot for remelting in a vacuum induction furnace.

What forms of K461 do you supply?

ROBAN supplies K461 as master alloy bar, as-cast, vacuum induction melted, master alloy ingot and button, horizontally vacuum cast bar, remelted casting rod for investment casting, cut to the length you need and packed for remelting.

Do you supply material certificates for K461?

Yes. Every order ships with a mill test report covering the actual heat analysis of the melt, together with the heat number and the melt route. 3.2 documentation is available where the contract requires it.

What is the lead time for K461?

Master alloy is made to order rather than held in stock. The usual lead time is 20 to 40 working days depending on the grade, the melt route and the quantity. Send us your specification for a firm date.

Can you supply K461 in a specific size?

Yes. State the diameter, the length and the condition you need. Bar is normally supplied as-cast and cut to your length, and ingot is supplied as button or cube to match your melting equipment.
