Advantages:
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: It is also characterized by high abrasion and corrosion resistance when subjected to both fresh and salt water, acids, alkalis, etc.
High Temperature Stability: It has good high temperature properties: it retains its strength and other mechanical properties at high temperature, hence is good for high temperature uses.
Good Weldability: Shows good weldability, and can be easily fabricated to the desired shape and assembled mostly through welding processes.
High Strength: High-strength, good creep strength satisfied many high stress part used in gas turbines or steam generators.
Disadvantages:
Limited Availability: It could also have issues of rarity hence causing complications in the supply chain.
High Cost: Largely more costly than other material do to its production, this may affect the costs of specific projects.
Machining Difficulty: Due to its hardness and its resistance it has these features it requires special cutting to be done hence time and costs of machining are relatively high.
Sensitivity to Hot Cracking: Is prone to hot cracking during welding and should be welded under controlled conditions depending on the chosen parameters for welding our material.
