    Abstract: A class of nickel based alloys having a fine grain structure resistant to stress corrosion cracking, and methods of alloy design to produce further alloys within the class are presented. The alloys act as suitable welding materials in similar applications to that of Alloy 622. The fine-grained structure of these novel alloys may also be advantageous for other reasons as well such as wear, impact, abrasion, corrosion, etc. These alloys have similar phases to Alloy 622 in that they are composed primarily of austenitic nickel, however the phase morphology is a much finer grained structure opposed to the long dendritic grains common to Alloy 622 when it is subject to cooling rates from a liquid state inherent to the welding process.

    Abstract: An Fe—Ni—Cr alloy formulated to contain a strengthening phase that is able to maintain a fine grain structure during forging and high temperature processing of the alloy. The alloy contains a sufficient amount of titanium, zirconium, carbon and nitrogen so that fine titanium and zirconium carbonitride precipitates formed thereby are near their solubility limit in the alloy when molten. In the production of an article from such an alloy by thermomechanical processing, a dispersion of the fine titanium and zirconium carbonitride precipitates form during solidification of the melt and remain present during subsequent elevated processing steps to prohibit austenitic grain growth.
