Abstract: A low carbon steel has a composition which is ferritic, martensitic or ferritic: martensitic at temperatures of the order of 700.degree. C. and substantially fully austenitic at temperatures in excess of 1000.degree. C. and nitriding of a refractory stable metal nitride former, e.g. titanium, of the alloy is effected while the alloy is in its substantially fully austenitic state so as to produce a fine and homogeneous dispersion of the nitride and thereby enhance the creep strength of the alloy when in its ferritic, martensitic or ferritic: martensitic state.

Abstract: A novel iron based alloy is disclosed which is characterized by high resistance to wear and corrosion. The alloy consists essentially of 0 to 40% chromium, 1 to 40% molybdenum, 1 to 15% copper, 0.2 to 5% boron, and 0.01 to 2% carbon; the balance being incidental impurities and at least 30% iron, with the molydenum being at least 10% if the boron is greater than 2%. The alloy is preferably in the form of a powder for thermal spraying, and coatings produced thereby may have an amorphous structure.

Abstract: Forgings fabricated from 9 Chromium - 1 Molybdenum, modified alloys are subjected to tempering at a temperature less than the ASTM specified minimum tempering temperature in the range from about 1275.degree. F. to about 1300.degree. F. for a period of time in the range of from about 5 to about 20 hours to cause the forging to have a room temperature yield strength in the range from about 85 to about 100 ksi. Such room temperature yield strengths permit the use of the alloy in the fabrication of high-pressure steam turbine rotors. Forgings fabricated from such alloys possess excellent high-temperature properties and the same are also weldable to facilitate repair of rotors fabricated therefrom and to facilitate the fabrication of the rotor in the first instance by forming the rotor from smaller sections which may be welded together and subsequently tempered at a temperature in the range from about 1275.degree. F. to about 1300.degree. F.

Abstract: An austenitic stainless steel that is comprised of Fe, Cr, Mn, C but no Ni or Nb and minimum N. To enhance strength and fabricability minor alloying additions of Ti, W, V, B and P are made. The resulting alloy is one that can be used in fusion reactor environments because the half-lives of the elements are sufficiently short to allow for handling and disposal.
