Inconeln.
/ˈɪnkənɛl/ A proprietary name of various alloys which contain nickel (70–80%), chromium (12–19%), and iron (usually between 5% and 8%), and are useful for their strength and their resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures.

1938 Jrnl. Royal Aeronaut. Soc. 42 962 A further development is the alloy ‘Inconel’ containing about 80 per cent. Ni., 13 per cent. Cr., 7 per cent. Fe., which can be hardened by work, but not by heat-treatment... Its resistance to heat-oxidation at very high temperatures finds application in silencers and exhaust manifolds.
