A Ni--Fe--Cr alloy having high strength, ductility and corrosion
resistance especially for use in deep-drilled, corrosive oil and gas well
environments, as well as for marine environments. The alloy comprises in
weight %: 35-55% Ni, 12-25% Cr, 0.5-5% Mo, up to 3% Cu, 2.1-4.5% Nb,
0.5-3% Ti, up to 0.7% Al, 0.005-0.04% C, balance Fe plus incidental
impurities and deoxidizers. The alloy must also satisfy the ratio of
(Nb-7.75 C)/(Al+Ti)=0.5-9 in order to obtain the desired high strength by
the formation of .gamma.' and .gamma.'' phases. The alloy has a minimum
of 1% by weight .gamma.'' phase dispersed in its matrix for strength
purposes and a total weight percent of .gamma.'+.gamma.'' phases being
between 10 and 30.
