  • Patent number: 12215396
    Abstract: An iron-based alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and high strength and a method of manufacturing the iron-based alloy. The iron-based alloy includes Cr: 10 to 22 mass %, W: 1 to 12 mass %, and C: 0.1 to 2.3 mass %, with the remainder being unavoidable impurities and Fe, and is composed of a cast material having a structure composed mainly of austenite or a quenched material having a structure composed mainly of martensite and in which carbides are precipitated. The iron-based alloy may further include Cu: 0.5 to 6 mass % and/or Ni: 0.5 to 2.5 mass %, and may further include at least one of Al, Mo, and Si in an amount of 1 to 3 mass %.
