Abstract

One aspect generally relates to a Cr, Ni, Mo and Co alloy, with tightly controlled levels of impurities. One aspect relates to an alloy including about 10 to about 30 weight % Cr, about 20 to about 50 weight % Ni, about 2 to about 20 weight % Mo, about 10 to about 50 weight % Co, and less than about 0.01 weight % Al, wherein each weight % is based on the total weight of the alloy.
