Alloy 800/800H/800HT (UNS N08800/N08810/N08811) for electric power industry is the industry-standard iron-nickel-chromium solid solution superalloy, engineered for continuous high-temperature service up to 900℃ in power generation environments. It provides an optimal balance of creep strength, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, making it the workhorse material for supercritical boilers, nuclear steam generators and waste-to-energy plants.
As the most cost-effective high-temperature alloy for power generation, Alloy 800H features controlled carbon content and coarse grain structure for superior creep performance above 650℃, while Alloy 800HT further optimizes aluminum and titanium content for maximum rupture strength. With over 20 years of production experience, Emily PIPE supplies precision-manufactured Alloy 800/800H seamless pipes, tubes and bars that meet the strictest international power industry standards.

| Why This Material Is Used in Electric Power Industry | 1. Unmatched Creep Performance at 650-900℃:
– Controlled carbon content and coarse grain structure provide superior creep resistance – 900℃, 100MPa stress: 1000-hour creep rate only 0.03%, 1/4 of 310S stainless steel – Maintains structural integrity for 30+ years in continuous high-temperature operation 2. Superior High-Temperature Steam Oxidation Resistance: – Forms a dense, adherent Cr₂O₃/Al₂O₃ composite oxide layer that resists spalling – Mass loss <0.15g/m² after 1000 hours at 900℃ in static air – Outperforms 310S by 50% in high-pressure steam environments 3. Excellent Chloride SCC Resistance: – 30-35% nickel content provides excellent resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking – Resists cracking in boiler water containing up to 500 ppm chloride at 300℃ – Ideal for supercritical boiler tubes where chloride contamination is a risk 4. Outstanding Flue Gas Corrosion Resistance: – Excellent resistance to sulfidation and carburization in combustion gas environments – Good resistance to hydrogen chloride and other acidic gases in waste-to-energy plants – Outperforms carbon steel and low-alloy steels by 10-20 times in corrosive flue gases 5. Exceptional Thermal Stability: – No harmful σ-phase precipitation below 850℃ after long-term exposure – Retains ductility and toughness even after 100,000 hours of service at 700℃ – Excellent thermal fatigue resistance during cyclic heating and cooling |
