Europe's largest economy, Germany, recently activated an emergency plan to manage gas supplies that the natural gas could be rationed if supplies are disrupted or disrupted by a stand-off over Russian demands to pay for fuel in rubles.  

German Vice-Chancellor, minister of economy and climate protection, said Germany's gas supplies were secure for now, but he urged consumers and businesses to reduce consumption, saying "every kilowatt of electricity counts." 

Germany's gas network regulator can ration gas if supplies run short. Plants would be the first to be affected. Special treatment will be provided to private families, hospitals, and other important institutions.  

Half of Germany's 41.5 million households use natural gas for heating, and industry consumption accounts for a third of the country's 100 billion cubic meters of gas demand in 2021.  

The price of many energy and commodities like the GH4049 alloy rod could be affected.

GH4049 introduces:

GH4049 is a Ni-Co-Cr-based deposition hardening deformation superalloy, the application temperature is lower than 950℃. The alloy has good oxidation resistance below 1000°C, and high high-temperature compressive strength below 950°C, which is suitable for the production of natural gas turbocharger blades with operating temperatures ranging from 850°C to 950°C. The key equipment includes hot rolling and forging bar stock and free forging turbine blades.

Application and characteristics of GH4049 superalloy

Alloys have been used to make aircraft engine turbine blades and other high temperature load-bearing parts. After a long period of manufacture and application, it has become one of the most widely used foliar raw materials.

Compared with similar nickel-based alloys in the same way, the alloy's hot working process plasticity is weak, but after electroslag remelting or vacuum pump electric remelting, its production and processing plasticity can be improved, with fracture at 1000 ° C ~ 1170 ° C The toughness is increased by 1~3 times.

Heat treatment process rules and regulations:

1200℃±10℃ heat preservation for 2 hours air cooling+1050℃±10℃ heat preservation for 4 hours air cooling+850℃±10℃ heat preservation for 8 hours air cooling, HB363~302

GH4049 is a nickel-based aging-strengthened alloy with high high temperature strength below 950 degrees, small notch sensitivity, good oxidation resistance and fatigue strength, but poor hot working plasticity. Vacuum consumable or electroslag remelting can improve its heat processing plasticity

GH4049 alloy has been used to make aero-engine turbine blades and other high-temperature load-bearing parts. After long-term production and use test, it has become one of the most widely used blade materials.

The new process of constant temperature toughness rolling is applied to the production practice of GH4049 alloy hot-rolled bars. The production process and product quality are relatively stable, and the products can meet the needs of the market in large quantities, so they have been well evaluated by users, both economic and social benefits. relatively significant.

The resurgence of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict continued to cause high volatility in commodity prices. Stubbornly high inflation and rising commodity prices are likely to influence each other and thus push each other higher. The price of the GH4049 alloy rod may not decrease significantly in the short term.
