Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 46 words
An austenitic alloy of iron, nickel, chromium, aluminum, and yttrium consisting essentially of 16 to 45 weight percent of nickel, 4 to 25 weight percent of chromium, 3.5 to 5.5 weight percent aluminum, 0.1 to 5 weight percent yttrium and the balance consisting essentially of iron.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 51 words
An austenitic alloy of iron consisting essentially of nickel, chromium, aluminum, manganese, copper and yttrium which consists of 15.0 weight percent of nickel, 10.0 weight percent of chromium, 4.0 weight percent aluminum, 5.0 weight percent manganese, 1.0 weight percent copper, 1.0 weight percent yttrium and the balance consisting essentially of iron.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 90 words
An austenitic alloy of iron consisting essentially of nickel, chromium, aluminum, yttrium and containing additions of manganese, carbon, nitrogen and copper as a partial substitution of the austenite stabilizing nickel content within the following ranges, 10.0 to 45.0 weight percent nickel, 4 to 25.0 weight percent chromium, 3.5 to 5.5 weight percent aluminum, 0.1 to 5.0 weight percent yttrium and containing 0. to 20 weight percent manganese, 0. to 0.5 weight percent carbon, 0. to 0.5 weight percent nitrogen and/or 0. to 1 weight percent copper with the balance iron.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 106 words
An austenitic iron base alloy as described in claim 4 having improved high temperature strength and including iron, 8 to 45 weight percent nickel, 4 to 25 weight percent chromium, 3.5 to 5.5 weight percent aluminum, 0.1 to 5 weight percent yttrium, and contain 0. to 20 weight percent manganese, 0. to 0.5 weight percent carbon, 0. to 0.5 weight percent nitrogen, 0 to 1 weight percent copper, and/or as a partial substitution of the austenite stabilizing nickel content and for increased high temperature strength 0.1 to 10 weight percent tungsten and/or molybdenum, and/or 0.1 to 2 weight percent columbium and/or tantalum, titanium, zirconium or hafnium.
