Abstract: A process of producing a maraging steel includes melting a steel of a defined composition, casting the molten steel to obtain a steel ingot, hot forging the steel ingot at a forging ratio of at least 4, then soaking the forged piece one or more times to keep the forged piece in a temperature range of 1100-1280° C. for 10-100 hours, and then plastic working the forged piece. A process of producing a maraging steel of another defined composition includes casting the molten steel to obtain a steel ingot with a defined taper, a defined height to diameter ratio and a defined flatness ratio and plastic working the steel ingot so that the size of a nonmetallic inclusion is 30 ?m or less expressed as the diameter of a circle of circumference equal to the perimeter (“circumference”) of the inclusion.

Abstract: It is an objective of the present invention to provide low thermal expansion alloys having excellent high temperature mechanical properties, the oxidation resistance, and the electrical conductivity by modifying the basic Cr--W--Fe alloy in order to meet various industrial demands including prolonging the life of plant machinery being operated at high temperature and a scaling-up solid oxide fuel cell, so that the coefficient of thermal expansion can be approximated to those of stabilized zirconia.

Cr and Al are added in order to further improve the oxidation resistance and to approximate the coefficient of surface thermal expansion to that of stabilized zirconia.
