Abstract
High-chromium iron-based alloys have attractive characteristics compar ed to those of conventional ferritic steels which have been considered to be promising candidate alloys for the next generation machines in place of austenitic stainless steels. Their expected properties of goo d corrosion resistance, low thermal stress factor, high strength at el evated temperatures, and in some cases low ferromagnetism are very des irable for advanced nuclear reactor application.
