Manaurite 900X
 Manaurite® 900X,
An evolution from Manaurite® 900
This new alloy was developed to improve the creep properties of Manaurite® 900
by further optimizing its composition thanks to some addition elements.
Manaurite® 900 has become a classical alloy used worldwide since the late 70’s.
Its properties and performance are well known. This grade was developed by
Manoir Industries as a cast material to surpass extruded equivalent materials.
Manaurite® 900 has excellent thermal shock resistance and its ductility remains
high after ageing. This has been assessed by independent laboratory tests and
large operating experience.
All the properties of the standard Manaurite® 900 are maintained in Manaurite® 900X,
but with better creep behavior.

 Chemical Composition Tensile properties

Mass percentage
Element Tensile Manaurite® 900X properties are similar to standard Manaurite® 900, at room temperature and after ageing. The chemical modification by micro
(wt %)
addition does not affect the actual tensile properties of Manaurite® 900X.
C 0.1 Even though ductility reaches a minimum value after ageing at 750°C, elongation stays over 15%.

As cast microstructures show austenitic matrix with fine, intergranular and
lamellar eutectic primary carbides identified as chromium and niobium carbides.
Titanium has an effect on the carbides stabilization.
After ageing, precipitation of carbides occurs first at dendrite boundaries and then
intragranularly.
