Title: Potential for the development and use of new alloys to reduce the consumption of chromium, cobalt, and manganese for critical applications. Draft final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5690455

Cobalt, chromium, and manganese are import-reliant materials that are critical to many industries in the United States and are strategic to the country's defense. High-temperature, corrosion-resistant superalloys are the major consumers of cobalt and high-purity chromium; stainless steels are the major consumers of ferrochromium; and, certain structural steels are significant consumers of manganese. These patterns of reliance will remain despite the existence of ready substitutes and potential substitutes.
