..., Petrobras Abstract: The cast 20Cr32Ni1Nb alloys have been used due to excellent creep strength and ductility in the range of 650-1000 °C. The choice of this alloy was based on in the expectation of that ductility would be maintained after a long exposition in this temperature range. This paper describes...

On the contrary, AF22-100 steel (stainless steel) and MW2832 steel (nickel based alloy) show no sign of corrosion at all at both pressures of 5 and 10 bar in similar experimental conditions of L80 steel and 38Mn6 566 steel. 1. The L80 and 38Mn6...
