Nickel (Ni): 35% (provides excellent high-temperature stability, corrosion resistance, and electrical resistivity).
Chromium (Cr): 20% (improves oxidation resistance and strength at elevated temperatures).
Iron (Fe): Small amounts (balance), contributing to structural integrity.
Other Elements: Small quantities of manganese, silicon, and carbon for improving fabrication, strength, and weldability.
Oxidation Resistance: Performs well at temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F), with chromium forming a protective oxide layer to resist oxidation and prevent further degradation.
Thermal Fatigue Resistance: Can endure repeated heating and cooling cycles without significant loss of strength, making it ideal for industrial heating applications.
Moderate Electrical Resistivity: Offers stable electrical resistance over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for resistors, heating elements, and other electrical components where controlled heating or consistent electrical properties are necessary.
Ideal for use in applications such as furnaces or electrical resistive heating elements, where precise and stable electrical characteristics are crucial.
Good Resistance to Corrosion: Particularly effective in oxidizing environments, and performs well in applications where the material is exposed to high temperatures and corrosive gases or vapors.
Sulfidation and Scaling Resistance: Resists scaling and corrosion in environments with high sulfur content or other aggressive atmospheres.
Tensile Strength and Ductility: Provides good tensile strength and can withstand mechanical stresses at high temperatures while maintaining adequate ductility for fabrication.
Work Hardening: The alloy may harden when cold-worked, but it remains sufficiently ductile for most forming applications, such as drawing into wire or other shapes.
Weldability: Can be welded using standard methods, including GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG), with appropriate precautions to avoid cracking and ensure a strong bond.
Formability: Easily drawn into wires, strips, or other shapes, making it versatile for manufacturing heating elements and other specialized components.
