Incoloy 800H Plate for Steam Generator High-Temperature Reliability
Our Incoloy 800 H plate is engineered to deliver rock-solid reliability for steam generators, keeping critical components like tubing and superheaters running strong in blistering high-temperature environments. This isn’t just metal—it’s a precision-crafted solution for power plants and industrial furnaces facing extreme heat and stress. Let’s dive into what makes our Incoloy 800H plate a top choice, from its tough materials to its key applications, while exploring industry trends and why our company is the go-to for high-temperature durability.
We craft our Incoloy 800H plate from a high-performance alloy of 30-35% nickel, 19-23% chromium, iron, and controlled carbon (0.05-0.10%), with aluminum and titanium additions for enhanced strength. The nickel and chromium combo forms a stable oxide layer that fights oxidation and carburization up to 1500°F (816°C), while the controlled carbon boosts creep resistance for long-term performance under thermal stress. 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, creep, and thermal fatigue, lasting 3-5 years in demanding steam generator environments. This makes it perfect for power generation, petrochemical, and industrial furnace applications.
