Features
Centralloy® G 4852 Micro R is a cast austenitic steel with 35%
nickel, 25% chromium plus niobium, titanium and others. The
20 µm 1000 
alloy possesses excellent structural stability, very good high tem-
perature stress rupture strength and good oxidation resistance.

The presence of carbon leads to the formation of a series of

carbides:

a) During solidification (“as cast” condition)

Intergranular carbides of the M7C3 type (where M is mainly Cr)
and carbides/carbonitrides of the M(C,N) type where M is
mainly Nb. These primary precipitates are visible in unetched
micro specimens – see SEM images – its colouring varying
from light grey (MC-carbides) to dark grey (M7C 3-carbides)
and some smaller orange/yellow cubic MC-carbonitrides
(M being mainly Ti).

50 µm 500  b) After exposure to operational conditions (“aged” condition)

The primary M7C3-carbides are transformed to M23C6-carbides
and small intragranular secondary M23C6-carbides are precipi-
tated. Due to the balance of niobium and micro alloying elements
secondary nano particles are precipitated intragranularly. The uni-
form dispersion and size of such particles leads to a hindered
mechanism of dislocation movement with the result of sig-
nificant strengthening of the material (see SEM images). The
secondary precipitates are visible in unetched micro speci-
mens (see SEM images) of dark grey colour, and the size of
the nano particles can be detected in very high magnification
by TEM examination (see TEM image, black colour).

Product Forms
Centralloy® G 4852 Micro R was designed as centrispun tube
material to meet specific design criteria in terms of creep rupture
strength, oxidation resistance, and weldability. It is available as
centrispun tubes, statically cast and investment cast product
20 µm 1000 
forms.

Other forms may be supplied upon request. Further information

regarding these topics, and maximum and minimum sizes, may
be obtained from the sales department.

Applications
Tubular systems requiring excellent stress rupture strength com­
bined with good oxidation resistance. The main applications for
the material are:
