ABSTRACT:
A nickel-base alloy having characteristics midway between selected stainless steels and INCONEL.RTM. alloy 625LCF.RTM.. Flexible and particularly useful for exhaust system bellows, wires and braids, the alloy includes about 24-42% nickel, about 18-28% chromium, 1.5-6% molybdenum, 0.2-1 % titanium, up to 1% aluminum, the balance iron, and up to about 1.4% silicon. The alloy demonstrates a novel characteristic of becoming stronger and more ductile during contemplated service temperatures of about 800.degree.-1400.degree. F. (427.degree. C.-760.degree. C.).
