Inconel 800
A high-performance superalloy engineered for extreme temperatures and corrosive environments.
About Inconel 800
Inconel 800 is a nickel-chromium-based alloy specifically developed to withstand high temperatures and aggressive chemical environments while maintaining its mechanical integrity. It is widely used in the chemical, petrochemical, nuclear, and power generation sectors due to its exceptional resistance to oxidation and corrosion under elevated temperatures.
This alloy is particularly well-suited for applications where both heat resistance and chemical durability are critical, ensuring optimal performance in the most demanding industrial environments.
Technical Characteristics and Composition of Inconel 800
Nickel-Based Alloy
Comprising over 30% nickel, Inconel 800 offers excellent heat resistance and superior thermal stability.
