## Abstract

Disclosed are iron based, austenitic alloys of substantially reduced cobalt content compared to current cobalt based alloys, such as Stellite 1 and 6, which are substantially less expensive than current cobalt based alloys, which are machinable using standard machine processes and procedures, which can be deposited as a hard surface with a tight crack pattern or a smooth surface, which does not stress crack upon cooling, which provides substantially reduced radiation exposure by plant maintenance workers in nuclear power plants, and which has a superior hardness, lower friction coefficiency, metal to metal wear loss and erosion loss than cobalt based alloys, such as Stellite 1 and Stellite 6. The alloying content comprises from about 38.0 to 62.0 percent by weight, and has a cobalt content of from about 3.00 to 9.00 percent by weight.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An iron based austenitic alloy including about 38 to about 62 percent by weight alloy elements comprising 0.02 to 0.80 carbon, having an alloy content of 20.00 to 30.00 percent chromium, 7.00 to 9.00 percent nickel, 5.00 to 9.00 percent molybdenum, 3.00 to 9.00 percent cobalt, and 0.50 to 3.00 percent manganese by weight.

### Claim 2

An iron based austenitic alloy including about 42 to about 44 percent by weight alloy elements comprising 0.02 to 0.80 carbon, having an alloy content of 20.00 to 30.00 percent chromium, 7.00 to 9.00 percent nickel, 5.00 to 9.00 percent molybdenum, 3.00 to 9.00 percent cobalt, and 0.50 to 3.00 percent manganese by weight.
