A ferritic, stainless steel alloy containing in weight percent about 0.05% max. C, 2.0% max. Mn, 0.70-1.5% Si, 0.1-0.5% S, 15-20% Or, 0.80-3.00% Mo, 0.10-1.0% Nb, 0.06% max. N, and the balance iron and impurities, provides a unique combination of magnetic properties, corrosion resistance, and machinability.

Corrosion-resistant magnetic material

An age hardenable nickel base chromium, molybdenum, alloy as well as intermediate products and articles made therefrom are disclosed which, in the solution treated and age hardened condition, have a 0.2% yield strength greater than 100 ksi combined with resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion and to stress corrosion cracking in chloride and sulfide environments at elevated temperatures up to about 500.degree. F. without requiring working below the recrystallization temperature of the alloy. Broad and preferred ranges are disclosed as follows:

Corrosion resistant age hardenable nickel-base alloy

A ferritic alloy, having an improved combination of magnetic properties and corrosion resistance, contains, in weight percent, about

Corrosion resistant, magnetic alloy article

A stainless duplex ferritic-austenitic steel with improved corrosion resistance. The steel consists essentially of about: 0.03 w/o Max. carbon, 3.0 w/o Max. manganese, 1.0 w/o Max. silicon, 26.0 to 29.0 w/o chromium, 3.5 to 5.2 w/o nickel, 3.5 w/o Max. molybdenum, 0.15 w/o Min. nitrogen and the balance essentially iron. The steel preferably contains about 0.17 to 0.35 w/o nitrogen for improved pitting resistance and for increased austenite content. Welds of the steel preferably contain at least about 17% austenite in the as-welded condition for improved pitting and intergranular corrosion resistance.

Duplex alloy

A large, austenitic, non-magnetic, stainless steel, alloy article which has been significantly warm worked between about 1500 F. and 1650 F. but not subsequently annealed, which has a 0.2% yield strength of at least about 90 ksi, and which, when formed into a U-bend, does not undergo stress corrosion cracking within about 700 hours in boiling saturated aqueous sodium chloride containing 2 weight percent (w/o) ammonium bisulfite. The alloy of the article consists essentially of about:
