Incoloy alloy 800H (UNS N08800)

Description

Overview:

A variant of Incoloy 800, Incoloy Alloy 800H is a nickel-chromium-iron based alloy that flaunts excellent oxidation resistance & ample strength. It also shows resistance to carburization when exposed to high-temperature environments.

Incoloy 800, 800HT, & 800H are almost similar in terms of properties. However, the difference in 800H comes from the fact that there is a higher percentage of carbon in this alloy. Apart from this, the alloy also brings in 1.20% aluminum, while 800HT brings titanium in the quotient.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• How is Alloy 800H machined?

Alloy 800H should be machined only when present in its annealed condition. Given the fact that this alloy is prone to hardening during work, it should be machined in low-cutting speed.

•  Is Incoloy Alloy 800 similar to Alloy 800H?

Yes, Incoloy Alloy 800H is actually a controlled derivative of alloy 800 with the prime difference in carbon composition.

• What is the machining process used for Alloy 800H?

In general, machining involves threading, drilling, CNC shaping, milling, tapping, turning, flanges, & more. However, some metals alloy like 800H needs to be annealed prior to machining.
