A metallic material of the invention which comprises, in mass %, C: not
more than 0.2%, Si: 0.01-4%, Mn: 0.05-2%, P: not more than 0.04%, S: not
more than 0.015%, Cr: 10-35%, Ni: 30-78%, Al: not less than 0.005% but
less than 4.5%, N: 0.005-0.2%, and one or both of Cu: 0.015-3% and Co:
0.015-3%, with the balance substantially being Fe, and of which the value
of 40Si+Ni+5Al+40N+10 (Cu+Co), wherein the symbols of elements represent
the contents of the respective elements, is not less than 50 and has
excellent corrosion resistance in an environment in which metal dusting is
ready to occur and, therefore, can be utilized as or in heating furnace
pipes, piping systems, heat exchanger pipes and so forth to be used in a
petroleum refinery or in petrochemical plants, and can markedly improve
the equipment durability and safety.
