1. Nickel-based alloy refers to a high alloy with nickel as the matrix (generally greater than 50%) and copper, molybdenum, chromium and other elements as alloying elements. The main alloying elements of nickel-based alloys are chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, aluminum, titanium, boron, zirconium and so on. Among them, Cr, Al, etc. mainly play an anti-oxidation effect, and other elements have solid solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening and grain boundary strengthening. Nickel-based alloys mostly have austenitic structure. In the state of solid solution and aging treatment, there are also intermetallic phases and metal carbonitrides on the austenite matrix and grain boundaries of the alloy.

2. Nickel-based alloys have high strength and good oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance in the range of 650 to 1000°C. Nickel-based alloy is a common high-temperature resistance alloy. Nickel-based alloys are subdivided into nickel-based heat-resistant alloys, nickel-based corrosion resistant alloys, nickel-based wear-resistant alloys, nickel-based precision alloys and nickel-based shape memory alloys according to their main properties.
