N08811 Product Description

Overview

N08811 is an austenitic, solid-solution iron–nickel–chromium alloy — the highest creep-rupture-strength variant of the 800 series. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / SAE-AMS / UNS) standard system.

It has the same base composition as alloys 800 and 800H, but with the most tightly controlled chemistry of the three: carbon restricted to 0.06–0.10% and the combined aluminium-plus-titanium content held to 0.85–1.20% (versus 0.30–1.20% for 800H). Combined with a high-temperature solution anneal at 1149 °C (2100 °F) minimum, this controlled chemistry produces a coarse grain structure and significantly higher creep and stress-rupture strength than both alloy 800 and alloy 800H. The chromium provides oxidation and corrosion resistance; iron resists internal oxidation; and the high nickel content maintains a ductile, stable austenitic structure with strong resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking.

It is selected for the most demanding long-term, high-temperature structural service: petrochemical furnace cracker tubes, pigtails, headers and reformer tubing; ethylene and acetic-anhydride process equipment; power-plant superheater and reheater tubing; gas-cooled-reactor heat exchangers; and industrial-furnace radiant tubes, muffles, retorts and heat-treating fixtures. It can be dual-certified to UNS N08810 (alloy 800H) where required.

1. Physical Properties

Values per Special Metals official datasheet, solution-annealed (coarse-grain) condition.

Property Value Unit
Density 7.94 g/cm³
Melting range 1357–1385 °C
Young's modulus (20 °C) 196.5 GPa
Shear modulus (20 °C) 73.4 GPa
Poisson's ratio (20 °C) 0.339
Specific heat capacity (0–100 °C) 460 J/kg·K
Coefficient of thermal expansion (20–100 °C) 14.4 µm/m·°C
Magnetic permeability (21 °C, annealed) 1.014 Essentially non-magnetic
Curie temperature –115 °C
Maximum service temperature ~1100 °C

2. Chemical Composition (Limiting, wt %)

Limiting composition per ASTM B408 (UNS N08811).

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Iron Fe 39.5 balance Base element; resistance to internal oxidation
Nickel Ni 30.0 35.0 Ductile austenitic structure; chloride-SCC resistance
Chromium Cr 19.0 23.0 Oxidation + corrosion resistance
Carbon C 0.06 0.10 Restricted range — high creep/rupture strength
Aluminium Al 0.25 0.60 High-temperature stability
Titanium Ti 0.25 0.60 High-temperature stability; carbide/nitride former
Aluminium + Titanium Al+Ti 0.85 1.20 Restricted combined limit — key for 800HT
Manganese Mn 1.50 Deoxidiser
Copper Cu 0.75 Residual
Silicon Si 1.0 Deoxidiser
Sulphur S 0.015 Residual impurity

Special requirement: high-temperature solution anneal (≥1149 °C) producing coarse grain, required for creep-rupture performance.

3. Mechanical Properties

Typical room-temperature properties, solution-annealed (coarse-grain) condition.

Property Value Notes
Ultimate tensile strength ~450–520 MPa Solution-annealed
0.2% proof strength (yield) ~170–215 MPa Solution-annealed
Elongation at break ~30 % min Solution-annealed
Hardness ~120–184 HB Solution-annealed

The restricted Al+Ti chemistry and coarse grain give the highest creep and stress-rupture strength of the 800 series, especially above 700 °C. Room-temperature strength is lower than fine-grain alloy 800. The alloy is solid-solution and not age-hardenable. Values are typical; confirm against the mill test certificate for each delivery.

4. Corrosion and High-Temperature Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Creep / stress-rupture (>700 °C) Outstanding Highest of the 800 series; restricted Al+Ti + coarse grain
High-temperature oxidation Excellent Protective Cr₂O₃ scale; useful to ~1100 °C
Carburisation Good Resists carburising furnace atmospheres
Nitridation Good Resists nitriding atmospheres
Sulfidation Good Resists sulfur-bearing atmospheres
Chloride stress-corrosion cracking Excellent High Ni content
Nitric / organic acids Very Good Good aqueous resistance
Sulphuric / hydrochloric acid Limited Not recommended for strong reducing acids
Metallurgical stability Excellent Stable austenite over full service range

5. Heat Treatment

An austenitic solid-solution alloy; not age-hardenable. The defining treatment is a high-temperature solution anneal to develop coarse grain.

Solution Anneal (defining treatment) Temperature: ≥1149 °C (2100 °F) Result: coarse grain structure required for optimum creep and stress-rupture strength.

This minimum anneal temperature, together with the restricted carbon (0.06–0.10%) and Al+Ti (0.85–1.20%) chemistry, is what gives 800HT its maximum-strength characteristics. Cool rapidly through 540–760 °C where aqueous corrosion resistance is required, to limit sensitisation.

6. Weldability and Joining

Good weldability by all common processes, similar to alloy 800. Fillers should be matched to high-temperature service.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / GMAW Excellent RA 82 (AWS ERNiCr-3); RA330-04 for closer thermal-expansion match
SAW (submerged-arc) Good ERNiCr-3 wire + compatible flux
SMAW / stick Good ENiCrFe-type electrode

For maximum strength, alloy 617 (ERNiCrCoMo-1) wire or 117 (ENiCrCoMo-1) electrodes are suggested. To avoid stress-relaxation grain-boundary cracking above ~540 °C, post-weld heat at ~900 °C for 1 h/inch then air cool.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Tooling Cutting Speed Feed
Coated carbide 33.5–57.9 m/min 0.20–0.89 mm/rev
High-speed steel 10.7–29.0 m/min 0.20–0.89 mm/rev

Machining behaviour is the same as alloy 800; the alloy work-hardens during machining.

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Hot forming 870–1200 °C; heavy forging 1010–1200 °C; avoid 650–870 °C (cracking risk)
Cold forming Similar to alloy 600 / stainless
Re-anneal ≥1149 °C to restore coarse grain after heavy cold work

8. Applications

Petrochemical Furnace cracker tubes, pigtails, headers, reformer tubing Highest creep-rupture strength above 700 °C
Chemical processing Ethylene / acetic-anhydride / nitric-acid equipment Strength + corrosion resistance
