Design of High Corrosion Resistant Ni Alloy Using Electronic State Calculation.

Ni alloys are used as the prominent industrial material for heat-resistance and corrosion-resistance. Out of them, Inconel has excellent properties for high-temperature heat-resistant equipment as an excellent material for equipment such as ultrahigh-temperature electric furnace and or boiler. However, Ni alloys used in various areas contain high-priced metals such as Ta, Nb, or Re and their use have been limited to industrial sector so far due to the price incompetence.
