A solid-solution-strengthened,
high-temperature corrosion-resistant
alloy that provides
excellent resistance
to
sulfidation and chloride attack
in both reducing and oxidizing
atmospheres with
exceptionally
good resistance to oxidation,
hot corrosion, carburization,
metal dusting, and nitridation.
The alloy has a stable austenitic structure
and exhibits no sigma or mu phases after
long-term aging. Aging at 1200, 1400 and
1600°F (649, 760 and 871°C) for 4000
hours, for example, resulted in the precipitation
of Cr23C6 and G phase (Ni16Ti6Si7).
The morphology of G phase is quite
similar to that of Cr23C6. Thus, G phase is
not considered to be more detrimental
than carbides in causing the ductility to
drop upon long-term aging. The alloy is
non-magnetic in annealed and coldworked
conditions.
