Alloy Specifications
Features
- Withstands temperatures up to 1400°C
- Uses: Primarily used for industrial furnaces, kilns, and other equipment with the highest continuous operating temperatures such as heat-treating, ceramics, glass, steel, aluminum, and the electronics industries. Alloy is less susceptible to distortion, growth, and increase in resistance when heated than other alloys of similar composition. While quite resistant to sulfur corrosion, this alloy is not recommended for use in reducing atmospheres other than dry hydrogen.
