| Comparative Cost of Heat-Resistant Alloys* |
| The initial premium for higher cost alloy construction is often recovered via improved equipment performance,
minimizing repair replacement and down-time and increasing throughput rates and cycle times.
Comparative costs of a wide range of heat-resistant alloys are presented below. These tabulations
represent average composits of 1991/1992 pricing information supplied by prominent alloy suppliers in
the United States...(1) |
