  • Ni—Cr austenitic heat resistant alloy has been widely used in petrochemical industry.
  • the devices used in this industry (such as cracking tubes for steam cracking) have to withstand the combustion near 1100° C. outside the furnace tube, and on the other hand, the materials have to withstand the carburization corrosion brought by the hydrocarbon gas inside the furnace tube and the high temperature oxidation of the outer surface, so the materials are required to have good high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature mechanical properties, such as creep resistance and high temperature plasticity, in high temperature environment.
