A comprehensive introduction to ASTM B407 UNS N08811 seamless and welded tubes
ASTM B407 UNS N08811 (Incoloy 800HT) standard covers seamless and welded tubes of a high-temperature nickel-chromium alloy, which is highly valued for its exceptional strength and corrosion resistance in high-temperature, chemical, and petrochemical applications. Due to controlled titanium/aluminum and carbon content, this alloy exhibits superior creep/rupture properties, in stark contrast to N08800/N08810 alloys, making it crucial for furnace components, heat exchangers, and process piping in demanding environments.
What is the heat treatment process for Incoloy 800HT alloy?
The chemical composition of INCOLOY 800HT alloy falls within the composition range of 800H alloy, but with a narrower range, and requires heat treatment at a minimum of 2100°F (1149°C). Its carbon content is 0.06% to 0.10% (compared to 0.05% to 0.10% for 800H alloy), and its aluminum + titanium content is 0.85% to 1.20% (compared to 0.30% to 1.20% for 800H alloy).

ASTM B407 UNS N08811 pipes are commonly used in high-temperature environments exceeding 1100°F. At such high temperatures, properties such as creep resistance and fracture resistance are required, and SB 407 UNS N08811 seamless tubes meet these requirements. The balanced chemical composition of ASTM B407 N08811 resistance-welded pipes gives its nickel-based alloy not only excellent carburization resistance but also good oxidation and nitridation resistance.
Even after prolonged exposure to high temperatures of 1200-1600°F, B407 N08811 pipes do not become brittle. Many stainless steel grades typically fail and become brittle in this temperature range. SB 407 UNS N08811 seamless tubes also exhibit the excellent cold-forming properties characteristic of nickel-based alloys.

What is ASTM B407 UNS N08811 pipe?
When ASME SB 407 UNS N08811 pipes undergo extensive cold forming, the material's grain size often leads to noticeable undulations on the surface, a phenomenon known as "orange peel" texture. ASME SB 407 N08811 pipes can be welded using conventional welding techniques, similar to welding stainless steel.
