We craft our Incoloy 800 plate from a high-performance alloy of 30-35% nickel, 19-23% chromium, iron, with aluminum and titanium additions for superior carburization resistance. The nickel and chromium form a stable oxide layer that fights oxidation and carburization up to 1500°F (816°C), while aluminum and titanium enhance strength and prevent carbon diffusion in high-carbon environments. Available in thicknesses from 0.1875″ (4.8mm) to 2.00″ (50.8mm), it’s designed for easy forming and welding, meeting standards like ASTM B409 and ASME SB 409. Our rigorous testing ensures purity and consistency, delivering plates that resist scaling, carburization, and thermal fatigue, lasting 3-5 years in demanding carburizing settings. This makes it perfect for petrochemical, steel production, and power generation applications.
In carburizing environment applications, our Incoloy 800 plate is a powerhouse. It’s used in furnace components like radiant tubes, resisting carburization and oxidation in high-heat steel and glass production. Petrochemical reactors rely on it to handle carbon-rich hydrocarbon processing, extending equipment life. Reformer tubes in ammonia or methanol production benefit from its ability to withstand carburizing atmospheres at 1500°F (816°C). Heat exchangers use it to maintain structural integrity under prolonged heat and carbon exposure. We’ve seen it applied in carburizing furnaces for automotive and aerospace parts, resisting carbon diffusion, and in power plants, handling high-temperature combustion byproducts. Its weldability makes it ideal for fabricating complex assemblies, ensuring robust performance in carburizing process equipment.
