Alloy 800H/HT®
Documentation:
CMI Alloy Data Sheet
Description:
Alloy 800H/HT® is an iron-nickel-chromium alloy having the same basic
composition as Alloy 800 but with significantly higher creep rupture strength. The higher
strength results from close control of carbon, aluminum and titanium contents in conjunction
with a high temp anneal. The 800H modification was to control carbon (0.05 to 0.10%) and
grain size to (>ASTM 5) to optimize stress rupture properties. Alloy 800H/HT®
(UNS N08811) has further modifications to combine titanium and aluminum levels (0.85 to 1.2%)
to ensure optimum high temperature properties. The alloy is dual certified and combines the
properties of both forms. The chemical balance allows the alloy to exhibit excellent resistance
to carburization, oxidation and nitriding atmospheres. Alloy 800H/HT® will not
become embrittled even after long periods of usage in the 1200-1600 degF range where many
stainless steels become brittle. Excellent cold forming characteristics typically associated
with the nickel-chromium alloys are exhibited with 800 H. When cold formed extensively the
grain size produces a visibly undulated surface called "orange peel". Alloy 800H/HT
® can be welded by the common techniques used on stainless steels. Typical
applications for the alloy include ethylene pyrolysis, hydrocarbon cracking, cracking
furnaces for vinyl chloride, diphenol and acetic acid. The alloy is also used for valves,
fittings and other components exposed to corrosive attack from 1100 to 1800 deg F. Corrosion
Materials maintains an inventory of round bar ranging from 3/4" to 6" diameter and pipe from
3/4"-8". Material can be supplied in random lengths, cut to order or machined to customer
requirements. Machining includes drilling, threading, milling, CNC shapes, turning, tapping,
flanges and others. 800HT® is a registered trademark of Special Metals Company.
