The sample Incoloy 800H and 800HT wire cold treated more than 20% should be ordered in the refined grain environment. The alloy heated for hot processing should be in the annealing condition. To obtain the adequate creep rupturing potential after formation, the alloy is annealed to receive the least grain size of ASTM. The benefit in the bending material is the decreased surface hardness basically known as orange peel.
Second benefit of annealing is the decreased thermal rupturing capacity of the better grain as compare to the coarse grain. The large cold processed parts that avoid spring back are more sensitive to rupturing upon heating. The driving force for such ruptures is the wider tensile stress. The fine grain material reduces the stress quicker upon heating than the annealing condition, so it reduces the cracking significantly.
In such condition, heat processing is not viable subsequent to fabrication due to alloy size. The below mentioned instructions are used for operations in which the coarse grain material is kept in the high temperature service. First is to limit the cold processing lower than the 20% strain and second is to restrict the processing temperature and period to avoid the recrystallization. The recrystallization starts after the cold straining of 10% to 20% against the processing and annealing time. Briefly the post production heat processing depends on the quantity of produced strain via formation and the service environments.
The Incoloy 800H and 800HT wire are readily machined by following the standard procedures. The turning processes can be followed with the large metal exclusion rates, extended tool life and the better surface finish shielded carbide equipments. The successful outcomes have been received with the large steel speed equipments that are better for intermittent cutting. The coated carbide tools have demonstrated the good life at the cutting speeds of 110-190 sfpm (33.5-57.9 m/min) and feeding of 0.008-0.035 ipr (0.20-0.89 mm/rev.). The higher speed steel equipments have described the extended tool life at the cutting pace of 35 - 95 sfpm (10.7-29.0 m/min) and feed of 0.008-0.035 ipr (0.20-0.89 mm/rev.).
The Incoloy 800H and 800HT wire has superior welding character like incoloy 800 wire. Both alloys are widely used for high creep rupture strength oriented operations and welding products with adequate force features for the required operation temperature limits. For temperature limits of 1450oF or 790oC, a special electrode is used for metal arc welding and inconel 82 filler metal is employed for gas shielded welding. At the processing temperatures of 1450oF or 790oC, an adequate welding option is based on the certain processing temperature limits and the features required in the welding joint.
