Abstract
This invention relates to corrosion resistant, austenitic, non-magnetic alloys. The alloys contain about 32 to 38% nickel, about 3 to 7% chromium, about 3 to 5% titanium, about 0.3 to 1.5% aluminum, about 0.5 to 1.5% molybdenum, an effective amount of vanadium, about 0.005 to 0.02% boron, up to about 0.02% carbon, and the balance substantially iron. The alloys are controlled temperature hot rolled and age annealed to provide strain hardening and precipitation strengthening to achieve yield strength objectives established for retaining rings in new high capacity generators. Yield strengths of at least about 200 ksi can be produced by the alloys of this invention making them suitable for use in new high capacity generators.
