This alloy is a 9 percent chromium, 1 percent molybdenum solid wire modified with niobium (columbium) and vanadium designed to provide strength, toughness, fatigue life, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. Due to the higher elevated temperature properties of this alloy, compositions that are now fabricated from stainless steels and ferritic steels may be fabricated from a single alloy, eliminating problems associated with dissimilar welds.
