The chemical composition of V-57 is very similar to A-286 with only slight adjustments and sometimes referred to as super A-286. These alloys contain less solid solution and lower volume fractions of precipitate strengtheners than nickel-rich alloys. Their service temperature range is limited to about 650°C. Nickel-rich iron–nickel-based superalloys can withstand higher temperature and stress levels than their iron-rich counterpart. Also, they have relatively low cost advantage. Inconel X-750 and alloy 901 are typical examples of this subgroup.
