Independent laboratory test results show that Advanced Alloys [TM] outperform standard heat-resistant alloys CHRAs) in service life by two to ten times under the same conditions of load, temperature and testing atmospheres. Field studies confirm laboratory test results.
Standard heat resistant alloys (HRAs) have been the basic workhorse alloys used to manufacture fixtures, radiant tube assemblies and high-temperature operating components in different furnace designs for many years, and are still performing well in some heat-treating applications. However, these alloys often experience shorter than expected service lives with the increasing demands of running more ...
