Abstract
The design of iron-chromium-nickel alloys for use at high temperatures ought to be based on a knowledge of the alloy compositions that will give rise to a chromic oxide scale. For this reason, the nickel-chromium and iron-chromium-nickel alloy systems have been investigated at 1000°C under oxidizing conditions, and the isothermal sections of the nickel-chromium-oxygen and the iron-chromium-nickel-oxygen equilibrium diagrams have been determined. On the basis of these determinations, several ternary compositions are recommended as being the most suitable to form the basis of high-temperature alloys for use in oxidizing environments.
