Introduction
INCOLOY alloy 803 is an alloy comprising of iron-nickel and chromium, with a high nickel and chromium content compared to other INCOLOY alloys. This alloy proves to be a cost effective alternative for replacing other alloys that are used in corrosive reducing, oxidizing and sulfidising environments. The alloy also exhibits good stress-rupture strength at high temperatures. Some of the standard forms of the alloy are pipes, welds, tubes, plate, strip, round, squares and forged fittings.

Corrosion Resistance
INCOLOY alloy 803 is characterized by an impressive resistance to various forms of high-temperature corrosionCarburization can cause a loss of an alloy's creep and stress-rupture strength and a reduction in resistance tothermal fatigue. Mixed oxidant carburizing environments are the most typical atmospheres for applicationsinvolving heat-resistant alloys. INcOLOY alloy 803 forms a protective oxide in these environments, A more severeatmosphere is created by "oxygen-ree" carburizing environments which restrict the formaton of protectiveoxides.
