Effect of magnesium addition on the microstructure and properties of ductile Ni-resist alloy using in-mould magnesium treatment method

For engineering reasons, ductile Ni-resist alloys are widely used in oil and gas, automotive industries and elevated temperature purposes. Ductile Ni-resist offers an advantage because this alloy has an austenitic structure at all temperatures. However, ductile Ni-resist alloy faces economical limit...
