A
chromium-based
alloy and a manufacturing method thereof. The
chromium-based
alloy comprises following components, by
mass, 4-6% of Fe, 0.8-1.2% of Y2O3, 0.1-15% of Mn, not more than 2% of unavoidable impurities and the balanced
chromium. The manufacturing method comprises following steps: designing the composition of the components, mixing the components, pressing the components, dewaxing the components and
sintering the components to obtain the
alloy, cooling the alloy, and analyzing and detecting the alloy. The chromium-based alloy is manufactured with
manganese so that an organization structure of a part can be effectively improved since the
manganese and
manganese-iron alloy are low in
melting point and can form liquid-phase
sintering when the temperature is higher than 1246 DEG C, thereby finally improving the performances of the part and enabling a
corrosion-resistant performance and a high-temperature performance of the chromium-based alloy to be better with influence on thermal-expansion coefficient of the material being less. The chromium-based alloy is excellent in the
corrosion-resistant performance and the high-temperature-resistant performance, can be used as a joint plate in a fuel
cell, is higher in
operation temperature, is longer in service life and is free from greatly influencing
assembly and usage since the thermal-expansion coefficient of the alloy matches with other assemblies in the fuel
cell.
