Abstract: An austenitic stainless steel alloy includes, by weight, about 23.0% to about 25.0% chromium, about 8.5% to about 10.0% nickel, about 4.0% to about 5.0% manganese, about 0.8 to about 0.9% niobium, about 0.5% to about 1.5% silicon, about 0.35% to about 0.45% carbon, about 0.2% to about 0.3% nitrogen, and a balance of iron with inevitable/unavoidable impurities. The elements tungsten and molybdenum are excluded beyond impurity levels. In one example, a turbocharger turbine housing is made of the stainless steel alloy.

Abstract: Turbocharger turbine wheels including nickel-based alloys are disclosed herein. In one exemplary embodiment, a turbocharger turbine wheel includes as, at least part of its constituency, a nickel-based alloy that includes, on a weight basis of the overall alloy: a nickel-based alloy includes or consists of, on a weight basis of the overall alloy: about 2.00% to about 3.00% cobalt, about 12.0% to about 14.0% chromium, about 5.75% to about 6.85% aluminum, about 5.00% to about 6.00% tungsten, about 2.25% to about 2.75% molybdenum, about 1.25% to about 2.00% titanium, about 0.55% to about 1.50% niobium, about 0.13% to about 0.17% carbon, about 0.03 to about 0.05% zirconium, about 0.01% to about 0.02 boron, and a majority of nickel, with the understanding that there may be inevitable/unavoidable impurities. The turbocharger turbine wheel may be configured for operating at about 980° C. to about 1020° C.
