‌2. Characteristics‌

Incoloy 800H wire is a high-carbon variant of Incoloy 800, tailored for extreme thermal and mechanical stress applications:

• ‌Enhanced Creep Strength‌: Elevated carbon content (0.05-0.10%) promotes intragranular carbide precipitation, delivering 30% higher creep rupture life than standard Incoloy 800 at 800°C.

• ‌Oxidation & Carburization Resistance‌: Forms a protective Cr₂O₃-Al₂O₃ oxide layer, preventing scaling in oxidizing atmospheres and carbon ingress in hydrocarbon environments.

• ‌Phase Stability‌: Retains austenitic structure without sigma-phase embrittlement even after 10,000+ hours at 900°C.

• ‌High-Temperature Ductility‌: Maintains elongation >20% at 800°C, critical for thermal fatigue resistance.

• ‌Thermal Cycling Performance‌: Low thermal expansion coefficient (14.5 μm/m·°C at 20–600°C) reduces stress buildup during repeated heating/cooling cycles.

• ‌Fabrication Versatility‌: Compatible with TIG, MIG, and plasma welding; cold-drawn with intermediate annealing for tight dimensional control.

‌3. Technology‌

‌Manufacturing Process‌:

• ‌Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM)‌: Ensures precise carbon control and ultra-low impurity levels (S < 0.01%, P < 0.02%).

• ‌Thermomechanical Processing‌: Hot-rolled bars are cold-drawn using multi-pass dies with ±0.02 mm tolerance.

• ‌Heat Treatment‌:

• Solution annealing at 1175-1200°C (2150-2200°F) to dissolve secondary phases.

• Rapid cooling in argon to lock carbon in solid solution and refine grain structure.

• ‌Surface Engineering‌: Electro-polishing (Ra < 0.3 μm) enhances corrosion resistance and reduces friction in high-velocity applications.

‌Quality Control‌:

• Glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GDOES) for trace element verification.

• Creep rupture testing per ASTM E139 at 750°C/50 MPa.

• Microstructural analysis via SEM/EDS to confirm uniform carbide distribution.

‌4. Theory‌

The alloy’s exceptional performance is rooted in its metallurgical design:

• ‌Solid Solution Strengthening‌: Nickel stabilizes the austenitic matrix, while chromium enhances oxidation resistance.

• ‌Carbon-Driven Precipitation‌: Controlled carbon levels enable formation of (Ti,Al)C carbides at grain boundaries, pinning dislocations and delaying creep deformation.

• ‌Aluminum-Titanium Synergy‌: Al and Ti combine with carbon to refine precipitates, improving high-temperature ductility and fracture toughness.

• ‌Self-Healing Oxide Layer‌: Chromium oxide regenerates dynamically under thermal cycling, maintaining barrier integrity in aggressive environments.

• ‌Grain Boundary Engineering‌: Optimized annealing processes produce coarse grains (ASTM 5-7), reducing grain boundary sliding at elevated temperatures.

‌5. Application‌

Incoloy 800H wire is indispensable in industries requiring prolonged exposure to extreme heat and corrosive media:

• ‌Petrochemical‌:

• Ethylene cracking furnace components, reformer tubes, and radiant coil supports.

• Wire mesh for sulfur recovery units (SRUs) and hydrocracker reactors.

• ‌Power Generation‌:

• Gas turbine combustion chamber liners, exhaust valves, and superheater hangers.

• Nuclear reactor heat exchanger springs and control rod cladding.

• ‌Heat Treatment‌:

• Fixtures for carburizing furnaces, annealing trays, and quench baskets operating above 900°C.

• ‌Aerospace‌:

• Rocket engine combustion liners, afterburner components, and turbine blade retention wires.

• ‌Chemical Processing‌:

• Catalyst support grids in nitric acid plants and syngas reactors.
