1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 ALLOY 800
Alloy 800 is a Fe-Ni-Cr alloy with typically 30-35% Ni, 39.5% Fe and 19-23% Cr. his
alloy possesses hi!h te"perat#re stren!th, resistance to o$idation, car#risation and other
types o& hi!h te"perat#re corrosion. he "echanical properties o& the alloy co"ined with

3.2 HARDNESS
The micro-hardness values of the cross-sectional surfaces of the tubes (as
designated above) were measured using the procedure described in
Section 2.3.The measurements are tabulated in Tables 3.2-3.11 for various
lots of samples. The Table 3.12 shows a comparison of the hardness
measured on all the specimen.
