Patent Classification: ["148", "226000"]

Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods of making iron-based alloys, as well as resulting alloys. An iron-based alloy containing a small amount of nickel (e.g., 0.5 to 2.0 wt %) is annealed and machined. The alloy is sufficiently ductile to reduce the likelihood of cracking, while not sufficiently high to result in a hardened alloy. After the alloy is shaped, the alloy is hardened by nitriding.

Claim (Index 14):
An alloy comprising:\n 21 to 25.5 wt % Cr; 0.5 to 2.0 wt % Ni; 0 to 0.5 wt % Mo, less than or equal to 0.04 wt % P; less than or equal to 0.01 wt % S; less than or equal to 0.010 wt % Al; less than or equal to 0.15 wt % V; less than or equal to 0.0050 wt % Ca; less than or equal to 0.01 wt % O; less than or equal to 0.1 wt % Ti; less than or equal to 0.5 wt % Nb; and trace elements less than or equal to 0.1 wt %; wherein the balance is Fe.
