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

resistance to hi!h te"perat#re corrosion "a'es it s#itale &or #se as stea" !enerator ()*+

 een indi!eno#sly deeloped and are ein! #sed in the #pco"in! reactors.

  $cellent resistance to chloride stress-corrosion crac'in! is another i"portant &eat#re o& 

alloy 800.he hi!h nic'el content in Alloy 800 "a'es the alloy hi!hly resistant to oth

!ie e$cellent o$idation resistance, !ood resistance to car#ri7ation and resistance to

typically desi!ned &or #se in che"ical, petroche"ical and &ood processin!, &or n#clear

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.

 The surface working done on the internal diameter side of the tube which

showed "# $%T signal for 2"min with steel wool and " grit emer& paper

for 1"min each* resulted in fragmentation of grains on the ! side which

leaded to an increase in microhardness values.

+nd the tubes strained like the wa& described above on edd& current

testing produced a signal which showed 1,# decrease in the thickness.
