Abstract

The solid solubility of iron in 2 to 10 pct cupro-nickels increases with temperature and nickel content. Property changes accompanying various heat treatments indicate typical precipitation hardening behavior. Iron content also affects softening temperature and subscale formation. These factors, as well as impingement corrosion resistance, influence the optimum iron content of commercial alloys.
