alloy
Quick Summary
Ni-Resist is a type of high-alloy cast iron that contains 14 to 25 percent nickel. This alloy is known for being nonmagnetic and possessing good resistance to both heat and corrosion. The properties of cast irons, such as white and gray iron, can be improved by adding alloying elements like nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. Ni-Hard, for instance, is a white iron with 4 to 5 percent nickel and up to 1.5 percent chromium, utilized in the production of metalworking rolls.1
