Incoloy 800 and SS 316
What is the difference between INCOLOY 800 and SS 316?
The high nickel content of Incoloy 800 makes it corrosion resistant in a wide range of environments. On the other hand, SS316 is a stainless steel alloy containing chromium, nickel, and molybdenum that offers excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, and good weldability.
Is INCOLOY 800 better than 825?
Incoloy 800: Suitable for high temperature industrial applications such as heat exchangers and furnace components. Incoloy 825: Suitable for chemical processing, pollution control and environments with strict requirements for acid resistance.
Will SS 316 rust?
316 stainless steel is more corrosion resistant than 304 and other similar materials. It is even resistant to corrosion from some very harsh chemicals. This allows it to be used in highly acidic or corrosive environments that would attack other metals.
What is INCOLOY 800?
INCOLOY Nickel-Iron-Chromium Alloy 800 was introduced in the 1950s to meet the need for a heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant alloy with a relatively low nickel content at a time when nickel was designated a "strategic" metal.
