Abstract

An FE--Ni--Cr-base superalloy consists essentially of, by weight, up to 0.15% C, up to 1.0% Si, up to 3.0% Mn, 30 to 49% Ni, 10 to 18% Cr, 1.6 to 3.0% Al, one or more elements selected from Groups IVa and Va whose amount or total amount is 1.5 to 8.0%, the balance being Fe, optionally, minor amounts of other intentionally added elements, and unavoidable impurities. The optional other elements which can be intentionally added to or omitted from the alloy include Mo, W, Co, B, Mg, Ca, Re, Y and REM. The superalloy is suitable for forming engine valves, knitted mesh supporters for exhaust gas catalyzers and the like, and has excellent high-temperature strength and normal-temperature ductility after long-time heating, as well as sufficient oxidation resistance properties for these uses.
