<p>Described is a material handling apparatus for processing heated formed ferrous metal products and/or glass products comprising a face centered cubic crystal intermetallic alloy of a metal aluminide having the property of withstanding repeated thermal cycling from ambient temperature to about 1600 °F wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of a group VIII metal of the Periodic Table. Also described is an aluminide roll that also is characterized as retaining its ultimate tensile strength at 1600 °F of at least 75 % of the tensile strength the roll had at ambient room temperature.</p> |
