Nickel Alloy Incoloy 800-ANN vs Incoloy 800 CD-SR

Nickel Alloy · Incoloy 800 temper comparison

Incoloy 800-ANN and Incoloy 800 CD-SR are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, Incoloy 800: ANN (annealed) versus CD-SR (cold Drawn + Stress Relieved). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Incoloy 800 CD-SR is the stronger of the two: yield strength 430 MPa (62.4 ksi) against 250 MPa (36.3 ksi) for Incoloy 800-ANN, about 72% more; tensile strength follows at 670 MPa (97.2 ksi) vs 600 MPa (87 ksi). In exchange, Incoloy 800-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 45% versus 30% for Incoloy 800 CD-SR, and Incoloy 800 CD-SR is harder (185 HB vs 140 HB). Incoloy 800-ANN runs hotter in service (815°C vs 600°C continuous).
