Morphology

Ni-resist + iron

This is a straightforward compositional material name: 'Ni-resist' (an alloy resistant to heat/corrosion) + 'iron' yields 'a type of iron with those Ni-resist properties.' It follows common subtype-naming patterns for materials, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Ni-resist iron comes from adding Ni, short for 'nickel', to iron so the metal will resist rust and high heat. So it means a kind of iron made to resist rust and strong heat.
