Abstract
Abstract An alloy prepared by reducing the sulfur content of ASTM UNS N06600 (Trademark Inconel Alloy 600) to an extremely small value and adding specified amounts of Nb and N, and an alloy prepared by reducing the oxygen content of Inconel Alloy 600 and adding specified amounts of Nb, N, B and Mg show a mechanical strength equivalent or superior to that of Inconel Alloy 600 and excellent hot workability, and further has intergranular corrosion resistance and integranular stress corrosion cracking resistance which are far more excellent than those of Inconel Alloy 600.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A Ni-based alloy excellent in intergranular corrosion resistance, stress corrosion cracking resistance and hot workability, consisting essentially of 25% or less of Fe, 14 to 26% of Cr, 0.045% or less of C, 1.0% or less of Si, 1.0% or less of Mn, 0.030% or less of P, 0.0010% or less of S, 0,005 to 0.2% of N, 0.05 to 4.0% of Nb, said Nb being present in an amount satisfying the relationships: % Nb≧100 (% C-0.005) % in case where % C is more than 0.0055% and % Nb=[3.0-75 (% C+% N)] % in case where (% C+% N) is less than 0.04%, sum of all said elements exclusive of Ni being not more than 40%, and the balance consisting of Ni.
