The application of newer cast corrosion and heat resisting alloys

This article illustrates, by reference to several examples, the development of cast stainless and heat resisting iron-nickel-chromium alloys which extend the scope for application of alloy castings. The role of the specialist alloy foundry in meeting the requirements for new and existing applications is referred to. There are pitfalls with material selection, especially when extrapolating experience from one application to another, and some of these are mentioned.
