GH3039 (GH39) Nickel-Based Alloy

GH3039 (also designated GH39) is a Chinese single-phase austenitic solid-solution strengthened nickel-based alloy. Strengthened by molybdenum and niobium, it offers moderate thermal strength, good thermal-fatigue resistance and excellent weldability at service temperatures up to about 850 °C, and is a long-proven material for aero-engine combustor and afterburner components.

Moderate thermal strength and good thermal-fatigue resistance below 800 °C. Actual values may vary with condition and governing standard.

Oxidation Resistance

  • Good oxidation resistance in air below 1000 °C;
  • Reasonable tolerance of some corrosive media.

Microstructure

  • Solution-treated state is single-phase austenite with small amounts of Ti(CN), NbC and M23C6 carbides.

Fabrication & Welding

  • Hot working: good hot workability; forging heating temperature 1170 °C, finish-forging at 900 °C. Final grain size is closely related to deformation degree and finish-forging temperature;
  • Welding: excellent weldability by GTAW (TIG), spot welding or seam welding, with low cracking tendency in TIG welding.

Heat Treatment

  • Hot-rolled / cold-rolled sheet and strip: solution treatment 1050–1090 °C, air cool;
  • Bar and tube: solution treatment 1050–1080 °C, air cool or water cool;
  • Sheet, strip and tube are delivered solution-treated and pickled; wire is supplied in cold-worked or solution-treated condition; bar is delivered without heat treatment.

Typical Applications

  • Combustor and afterburner components of aero-engines, proven in long-term production and service.
