NICKEL-IRON

Incoloy 800HT / 1.4959 Nickel-Iron Alloy

Alloy 800HT is the nickel-iron-chromium variant of the 800H family with more restrictive carbon, aluminium-titanium and annealing requirements. It is considered for sustained high-temperature loading. Compliance with N08811 cannot be assumed from an 800H designation alone.

The documentation distinction between H and HT

Although 800HT chemistry falls within the 800H family limits, not every 800H heat meets 800HT requirements. Dual certification must therefore be supported by records demonstrating compliance with both sets of conditions. Two UNS numbers appearing together in a cross-reference table do not make them automatically interchangeable.

The role of grain and annealing

Chemical analysis alone does not describe high-temperature behaviour. Controlled grain and the appropriate annealing condition are also part of delivery. Subsequent hot forming or welding should be assessed for their effect on the final condition. Strength requirements must be related to the actual exposure time and loading pattern.

Product-specific acceptance requirements

ASTM B407 for seamless pipe and tube and ASTM B409 for flat products are example product specifications; confirm N08811 coverage in the applicable revision. Provide diameter or thickness, length, delivery condition, grain and testing requirements. The 800HT name alone does not define an identical delivery scope across all product forms.

Typical application areas

High-temperature process tubes, heater hardware and continuously operated thermal equipment.
