Oxide dispersion-strengthened steels are mainly developed for specialist application in nuclear fission and fusion and specifically in Japan, Europe and the United States.
Commercially available steels offer much better performance with ultimately improved strength properties at high temperatures when compared to more standard and common material options.

Corrosion Behavior of Aluminum in Chloride Mediums
Aluminum is one of the most widely used materials in corrosive environments due to the effectiveness of the naturally occurring oxide film.
Using different concentrations of Cl solutions it is possible to see some interesting results relating to polarization resistance across several different materials.
The Pressure Electroslag Remelting Process (PESR)
The pressure electroslag remelting process is a recent advancement and allows for the manufacture of new high nitrogen alloys with unique properties under pressures of several atmospheres.
Much higher levels of nitrogen can be achieved due to the pressure applied above the slag which can be increased significantly above normal atmospheric pressure levels.
