Abstract
The structure, properties, and corrosion and radiation resistances of “Bochvaloy” nickel-chromium alloy are studied. Under neutron irradiation to a dose of 35 dpa the alloy experiences inconsiderable low-temperature radiation-induced embrittlement. Its corrosion resistance in various aggressive media is several orders of magnitude higher than that of stainless steels. The alloy is well adaptable to manufacture and possesses enhanced strength and ductility parameters as compared to austenitic steels and alloys.
