Abstract

Nickel-chromium alloys date from the early 1900’s when their excellent high temperature oxidation resistance was first recognised. The subsequent development of nickel alloys has been in two main directions. The first has been to improve oxidation and corrosion resistance, with strength being a minor consideration. This was targeted at heat resisting applications in a wide variety of industries. The second has been to increase strength and temperature capability, an objective motivated mainly by the gas turbine.
