AUSTENITIC CR-NI-ALLOY DESIGNED FOR OIL COUNTRY TUBULAR PRODUCTS

摘要

An austenitic alloy has high strength and corrosion resistance and includes from 27 to 32 weight percent nickel and 24 to 28 weight percent chromium. Up to 2.75 weight percent silicon, 3 weight percent copper and molybdenum and 2 weight percent manganese are included for contributing to the characteristics to the alloy rendering the alloy particularly useful for fabricating oil well tubular products. Only very low components of nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus and sulfur are included.
