It is used for joining materials of similar composition and it has excellent resistance to creep and oxidation up to approx. 1200°C, thanks to the addition of aluminum. It provides excellent fatigue strength in the HCF (high cycle fatigue) and LCF (low cycle fatigue) mode. It also possesses very good high temperature corrosion resistance in carburizing and oxidizing/chlorinating media as well as under “metal dusting” conditions. Typical applications are: radiant tubes, furnace muffles, rotary and shaft furnaces, kiln rollers and other furnace installations, methanol and ammonia synthesis, hydrogen production, reformers in the chemical and petrochemical industries, components in automotive exhaust systems.
