Nickel Alloy Incoloy 800HT-ANN vs Incoloy 800HT-AW
Nickel Alloy · Incoloy 800HT temper comparison
Incoloy 800HT-ANN and Incoloy 800HT-AW are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, Incoloy 800HT: ANN (annealed) versus AW (as-welded deposit). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Incoloy 800HT-AW is the stronger of the two: yield strength 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) against 240 MPa (34.8 ksi) for Incoloy 800HT-ANN, about 25% more; tensile strength follows at 550 MPa (79.8 ksi) vs 520 MPa (75.4 ksi). In exchange, Incoloy 800HT-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 45% versus 33% for Incoloy 800HT-AW, and Incoloy 800HT-AW is harder (165 HB vs 140 HB). Incoloy 800HT-ANN runs hotter in service (1,100°C vs 950°C continuous).

Incoloy 800HT-ANN vs Incoloy 800HT-AW: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all nickel alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.
