Advantages:

• Less density – 7.280g/сm3 against 8.4 g/сm3 for Cr20Ni80, let economize till 13% on the weight;


• More high electric resistance in comparison with Cr20Ni80.


• Heat-resistances in the atmosphere: oxidative, contain sulphur and sulphide, carbonic, in hydrogen and in vacuum.

Disadvantages:

• They are inclined the creeping and the deflection at high temperatures.
