Modern high-temperature alloys have undergone little change in chemical composition in the past thirty years. Most possible combinations of iron, nickel, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium, aluminum, columbium (niobium) and trace elements have been evaluated, leaving slight opportunity for new alloys. Therefore, recent improvements in alloy performance have been achieved primarily through processing enhancements. This article discusses the results of improved processing techniques, after first updating the major high-temperature alloy families and their service capabilities.
