Aging behavior of alloy 800H and associated mechanical property changes. [538/sup 0/ to 816/sup 0/C]
Aging behavior of five different heats of Alloy 800H was investigated in the temperature range 538/sup 0/ to 816/sup 0/C (1000 to 1500/sup 0/F) for times up to 8,000 h. Significant age-hardening was observed at low temperatures (i.e., 538/sup 0/, 593/sup 0/ and 649/sup 0/C (1000/sup 0/, 1100/sup 0/ and 1200/sup 0/F) in most heats. One of the heats, however, exhibited less hardening. Microstructural changes occurring during aging were evaluated by optical metallography, transmission electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. Effects of thermal aging on both tensile properties and impact toughness properties were evaluated. The results show that the alloy exhibits good residual impact toughness and tensile ductility after aging up to 8,000 h.
