Nickel-based super alloy: Incoloy 800 (UNS N08800/W.Nr. 1.4876)
What is Incoloy 800?
Designated as UNS N08800 or DIN W.Nr. 1.4876, Incoloy 800 (also known as “Alloy 800”) is an iron-nickel-chromium alloy with good strength and excellent resistance to oxidation and carburization in high-temperature atmospheres. It also has excellent resistance to corrosion by many aqueous environments and resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking. Incoloy 800 alloy maintains a stable austenitic structure during prolonged exposure to high temperatures since it doesn’t form the embrittling sigma phase after long time exposure at 1200°F [649°C]. It’s mainly used for petrochemical process piping, heat exchangers, carburizing equipment, heating element sheathing, and nuclear steam generator tubing.
Incoloy 800 (UNS N08800) has a high chromium content and a sufficient nickel content, so it has a high resistance to high temperature corrosion, and it is widely used in industry. In chloride, low concentration NaOH aqueous solution and high temperature and high pressure water, it has excellent stress corrosion cracking resistance, so it is used to manufacture stress corrosion cracking resistance equipment. Corrosion resistance is better than general austenitic stainless steel, and better than Inconel 600 alloy; in the manufacture of corrosion-resistant stress cracking equipment, it is better than Inconel 600 and Monel 400 alloy.

Processing performance of nickel-based alloy incoloy 800 (N08800):
Incoloy 800 (N08800) alloy hot processing:
- (1) The temperature range is 1200℃～950℃, and the cooling method is water quenching or rapid air cooling.
- (2) In order to obtain the best performance and creep resistance, solution treatment should be carried out after thermal processing.
- (3) The material can be directly fed into the furnace that has been heated to 1200°C, and after holding for sufficient time, the material can be quickly discharged, and thermal processing can be carried out in the specified temperature range. When the material temperature drops below the thermal processing temperature, it needs to be reheated.
Cold processing of Incoloy 800 (N08800) alloy:
- (1) The work hardening rate is greater than that of austenitic stainless steel, so the processing equipment needs to be selected. The cold-worked material should be in a solution heat-treated state, and intermediate annealing should be carried out when the amount of cold work is large.
- (2) If the amount of cold working is greater than 10%, the workpiece needs to be treated with a second solution.
Incoloy 800 (N08800) alloy welding process:
suitable for welding with the same material or other metals using any traditional welding process, such as tungsten electrode inert gas arc welding, plasma arc welding, manual sub-arc welding, metal inert gas arc welding, MIG welding, pulse arc welding is the first choice. If manual arc welding is used, it is recommended to use (Ar+He+H2+CO2) as the shielding gas.
