Super alloys or high performance alloys have an ability to function at temperatures above 540ºC(1000ºF) with deformation resistance and high surface stability. As they have good oxidation and creep resistance, super alloys can be forged, rolled to sheet or produced in various shapes. Iron-base, nickel-base and cobalt-base alloys are the major types of super alloys. Nickel-base and cobalt-base super alloys may be cast or wrought based on its composition or application. The iron-base super alloys are generally wrought alloys with stainless steel technology. These alloys can be strengthened by precipitation hardening, work hardening and solid-solution hardening.

For the measurement of very large strains, 5% (50 000 microstrain) or above, annealed constantan (P alloy) is the grid material normally selected. Constantan in this form is very ductile; and, in gauge lengths of 0.125 inches (3.2 mm) and longer, can be strained to >20%. It should be borne in mind, however, that under high cyclic strains the P alloy will exhibit some permanent resistivity change with each cycle, and cause a corresponding zero shift in the strain gauge. Because of this characteristic, and the tendency for premature grid failure with repeated straining, P alloy is not ordinarily recommended for cyclic strain applications. P alloy is available with S-T-C numbers of 08 and 40 for use on metals and plastics, respectively.
