Abstract
A single step heat treatment for Ni—Cr—Mo alloys containing from 12% to 19% chromium and from 18% to 23% molybdenum provides higher yield strength, high tensile strength and other mechanical properties comparable to those observed in similar alloys age-hardened according to current practices. This treatment is done over a total time of at least 4 hours and preferably less than 50 hours. However, the treatment works for only those alloys having alloying elements present in amounts according to an equation here disclosed.
