  • Nickel Based Superalloy Incoloy 800 (UNS N08800) Chemical Composition
    Nickel Based Superalloy Incoloy 800 (UNS N08800) Nickel-Iron-Chromium alloy Incoloy 800 has fine strength and suitable resistance to oxidation and carburization at high temperatures. It offers elevated temperature performance in the petrochemical industry as it prevents the formation of embrittling sigma phase subsequent to prolong use up to 1200oF or 649oC. Alloy 800 is used in the industrial incinerators, heat processing equipments, chemical processing industries etc. The compositional elements of Incoloy series are the refined elements that have established industrial standards in the high temperature operations by offering suitable creeping and rupturing characteristics. Incoloy 800 is a nickel- iron-chromium alloy with the supreme resistance to corrosion. The resistance to heat and corrosion even with the limited nickel concentration makes this alloy a strategic product. Alloy 800 has been used in the extensive series of operations due to its vital resistance to oxidation, carburization and other corrosions that occur in the elevated temperature conditions. Its application series includes furnace operations and manufacturing equipments, petrochemical furnace cracker vessels, pigtails and headers and shielding for electrical heating elements. Chemical Composition The carbon content present in Incoloy 800 alloy is proportional to creeping and cracking properties of alloy such that more carbon content, more are the creeping and cracking properties. Therefore carbon is added significantly in the alloy on the base of special application requirements. Carbon is added by 0.05% to 0.10% in the ASTM and ASME limits. Aluminum (Al) 0.15 to 0.60 % Carbon (C) 0.10 % Chromium (Cr) 19 to 23 % Copper (Cu) 0.75 % Iron (Fe) 39.5 % Manganese (Mn) 1.5 % Nickel (Ni) 30 to 35 % Heanjia Super-Metals Co., Ltd, Call- 12068907337.

  • Welding of Nickel & Nickel Alloys
    TECHNICAL UPDATE TE Andersen Consulting. Welding of Nickel & Nickel Alloys By Leif Andersen, TE Andersen Consulting. Ever heard of MONEL, INCOLOY, INCONEL, NICROFER, NICROM or NIMONIC ? Probably not, they are not the most common alloys encountered when doing maintenance welding onboard. When weld repairs are needed of items made of these alloys there is little information available. This paper outlines information on the different alloys and realistic welding methods and procedures for performing maintenance welding onboard. Introduction The name "Nickel" originated in Germany. The copper ores being mined seemed to be contaminated and could not be reduced into workable copper. They attributed this to the power of "Old Nick". The contaminated ores came to be called Kupfer-nickel which can be translated into devil’s copper. Though first discovered in Germany the main deposits of nickel ores are in Canada. There are also deposits in New Caledonia, Cuba and Finland. Nickel is similar to iron in most of its properties; it has slightly lower strength and hardness and is magnetic. In contrast to iron, nickel is very resistant to corrosion and is used for this purpose in industry. Nickel is widely used for plating steel components and in fact Chromium plating is often primarily nickel plated with a fine coating of chromium for hardness and brightness. Nickel is a very useful material but it is also very expensive and is therefore only used when it is of great importance to improve on metals work performance. Nickel and nickel alloys are chosen because of their: • Corrosion resistance • Heat resistance and high temperature properties.

    INCOLOY® alloys 945 / 945X Contents 1 Introduction 2 Physical Properties 4 Mechanical Properties 8 Corrosion Resistance 12 Hot and Cold Working 13 Heat Treating 14 Metallography 15 Joining 15 Machinability 15 Available Product Forms INCOLOY alloy 945 machined bars and forgings intended for fabrication of high performance components for service in aggressive environments in the oil and gas industry. www.specialmetals.com INCOLOY® alloy 945 (UNS N09945) is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy designed for demanding applications in the oil and gas industry. The properties of this age hardenable nickel-iron-chromium alloy are enhanced by its contents of molybdenum, copper, niobium, titanium, and aluminum. The chemical composition of alloy 945 is seen in Table 1. The alloy’s nickel content results in resistance to chloride- induced stress corrosion cracking. Nickel, in conjunction with the molybdenum and copper, also gives alloy 945 outstanding resistance to general corrosion in reducing media. Molybdenum also imparts resistance to localized attack (pitting and crevice corrosion). The alloy’s content of chromium provides resistance in oxidizing environments. Niobium, titanium and aluminum participate in the age hardening reaction that occurs during heat treatment. Their interaction forms gamma prime and gamma double prime precipitates, which strengthen the alloy. INCOLOY alloy 945 is suitable for downhole oil and gas applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance in aggressive sour wells containing high levels of hydrogen sulfide and chorides. Because of the alloy’s resistance to stress cracking in environments rich in hydrogen sulfide, it is suitable for downhole and surface gas-well components including tubular products, valves, hangers, landing nipples, tool joints and packers.
