An impeller for a high-temperature gas blower suitable for a floating conveyor furnace, having vanes each formed of a dispersion-strengthened alloy which includes as a disperse or internal phase 0.1-2.0% by weight of finely divided particles of an oxide of a high melting-point metal, such as Y.sub.2 O.sub.3, Ce.sub.2 O.sub.3, ZrO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and Cd.sub.2 O.sub.3, preferably dispersed in an austenite matrix or external phase of Cr, Fe, Al, Ti and Ni. A gas blower having such impeller, and a furnace using such gas blower are also disclosed.

A novel oxide-dispersion strengthened type heat-resistant alloy is provided for use of preparing furnace members such as a skid rail. The alloy consists essentially of up to about 0.2% C+N, up to about 2.0% Si, up to about 2.0% Mn, about 15 to 35% Ni and about 0.2 to 4% Ta, and the balance of Fe, and contains about 0.1-2% of fine particles of high melting point metal oxide such as Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 dispersed in the austenite matrix. The alloy exhibits excellent properties of anti-hot deformation, oxidation resistance, abrasion resistance and thermal shock resistance.

Skid rail alloy

Improvement of Nb-alloys, which are known as heat-resistant alloys, by giving anti-oxidation property thereto and increasing the high temperature strength thereof. In addition to a determined amount of Al, one of (1) suitable amounts of Ti, Cr and V, and (2) suitable amounts of Cr and Co, are added to Nb-matrix, and a high melting temperature metal oxide such as Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 or Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 is dispersed in the matrix. Preferable method of preparing the alloys is combination of mechanical alloying and subsequent hot processing.
