Nickel Alloy Incoloy 800HT-CD vs Incoloy 800HT SA-1150
Nickel Alloy · Incoloy 800HT temper comparison
Incoloy 800HT-CD and Incoloy 800HT SA-1150 are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, Incoloy 800HT: CD (cold drawn) versus SA-1150 (solution annealed 1150 °C). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Incoloy 800HT-CD is the stronger of the two: yield strength 500 MPa (72.5 ksi) against 215 MPa (31.2 ksi) for Incoloy 800HT SA-1150, about 133% more; tensile strength follows at 680 MPa (98.6 ksi) vs 500 MPa (72.5 ksi). In exchange, Incoloy 800HT SA-1150 is the more ductile: elongation 48% versus 25% for Incoloy 800HT-CD, and Incoloy 800HT-CD is harder (210 HB vs 130 HB). Incoloy 800HT SA-1150 runs hotter in service (1,100°C vs 550°C continuous).

Incoloy 800HT SA-1150Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
Incoloy 800HT-CD vs Incoloy 800HT SA-1150: 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.
