Oxide dispersion-strengthened alloy

Oxide dispersion strengthened alloys (ODS) consist of a metal matrix with small oxide particles dispersed within it. They are used for high temperature turbine blades and heat exchanger tubing. Alloys of nickel are the most common but work is being done on iron aluminum alloys. ODS steels are used in nuclear applications.
