Guidelines for making a wise choice when selecting high temperature alloys are provided. Four groups of alloys are discussed, along with helpful selection criteria. Substantial benefits accrue from contemporary alloy manufacturing techniques. Process databases and state-of-the-art forging equipment significantly impact product quality, consistency and cost effectiveness. Finally, the author suggests that the elimination of unnecessary test requirements offers potential for savings in time and money. He feels that alloy integrity can be assured by any producer who can demonstrate narrow limits of compositional control, as well as melting, remelting and hot working controls.
