Iron-based Wrought High-temperature Alloys
Iron-based wrought high-temperature alloys are a class of metallic materials with iron (Fe) as the principal element, engineered to maintain good mechanical strength and resistance to degradation (like oxidation) at elevated temperatures, typically in the range of 540°C to 760°C (1000°F to 1400°F). The “wrought” designation indicates they are shaped by thermomechanical processes such as hot rolling, forging, or extrusion, which refine their microstructure to provide a favorable combination of strength, ductility, and fabricability. They serve as a cost-effective and highly versatile solution for a wide array of high-temperature applications, bridging the performance gap between stainless steels and more expensive nickel or cobalt-based superalloys.
