Inconel 800

Principal Design Features

A Ni-Cr-Fe alloy that resists high temperature oxidation. This alloy is a first choice for an upgrade from the 300 series stainless steels when improved performance or strength at temperature is required. For higher ASME Boiler and Pressure Code design values, consider Alloy 800HT.

Applications

Heat treating equipment and fixtures. Sheathing for electric resistance alloy tubular heating elements. Heat exchangers.

Machinability

Conventional machining techniques used for iron based alloys may be used. This alloy does work-harden during machining and has higher strength and “gumminess” not typical of steels. Heavy duty machining equipment and tooling should be used to minimize chatter or work-hardening of the alloy ahead of the cutting.
