An exemplary welding consumable according to the invention is provided and includes up to about 0.13 wt % carbon, about 0.3 wt % to about 1.4 wt % manganese, about 7.25 wt % to about 11.5 wt % nickel, about 0.6 wt % to about 1.2 wt % molybdenum, about 0.2 wt % to about 0.7 wt % silicon, up to about 0.3 wt % vanadium, up to about 0.05 wt % titanium, up to about 0.08 wt % zirconium, up to about 2.0 wt % chromium, and a balance of iron and incidental impurities.

High strength welding consumable based on a 10% nickel steel metallurgical system

A corrosion resistant, neutron absorbing, austenitic alloy powder is disclosed having the following composition in weight percent.  The alloy contains at least about 0.25% B, at least about 0.05% Gd, and the balance of the alloy composition is iron and usual impurities. Bis defined as % B+4.35&#xd7;(% Gd). An article of manufacture made from consolidated alloy powder is also disclosed which is characterized by a plurality of boride and gadolinide particles dispersed within a matrix. The boride and gadolinide particles are predominantly MB, MB, MX, and MX in form, where X is gadolinium or a combination of gadolinium and boron and M is one or more of the elements silicon, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, iron.
