NICKEL-IRON

Incoloy 800H / 1.4958 Nickel-Iron Alloy

Alloy 800H is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy defined by controlled carbon and grain requirements for prolonged high-temperature loading. It differs from base Alloy 800 and the more tightly controlled 800HT variant; annealing and grain information matter alongside the grade name.

The 800 name alone is insufficient

Chemical similarities between 800, 800H and 800HT do not make their delivery requirements identical. Carbon range and grain requirements in 800H support creep and rupture behaviour at temperature. Base Alloy 800 should not be accepted in place of 800H merely because its nominal nickel or chromium content looks similar.

Service duration and atmosphere

Sustained hot loading differs from a brief temperature excursion. Define the heating atmosphere, carburisation, oxidation and mechanical stresses together. Selecting a furnace tube by temperature alone without operating duration and loading is incomplete; the data required by the design code must also be checked.

Read identity and documentation together

Specify UNS N08810 together with product form and required delivery condition. ASTM B408 for rod and bar and ASTM B409 for flat products are example specifications. Since 1.4876 also appears in some family records, a material number alone is insufficient; dual certification to 800HT requires its additional conditions to be met.

Typical application areas

Furnace components, petrochemical heaters, high-temperature piping and thermal equipment.
