A nickel-iron-chromium alloy, 800H/AT is designed for high temperature structural applications
Alloy 800H/AT is an austenitic heat resistant alloy designed for high temperature structural applications. The strength of 800H/AT is achieved by controlled levels of carbon, aluminum and titanium along with a 1148°C minimum anneal to achieve a grain size of ASTM 5 or coarser.

With close control of the carbon, aluminium and titanium contents combined with the high temperature anneal, 800H/AT has significantly higher creep-stress rupture strength than Alloy 800.
This alloy is commonly welded using RA82 (ERNiCr-3) bare wire for applications under 788°C. RA330-04 (UNS N08334) bare filler wire offers a closer match than RA82 based on the thermal expansion coefficient and higher strength. For maximum strength alloy 617 (ERNiCrCoMo-1) bare wire or 117 (ENiCrCoMo-1) covered electrodes are suggested.
To avoid possible stress relaxation grain boundary cracking in applications above 538°C the welded fabrication may be heat treated at 899°C for approximately one hour per inch of thickness or 30 minutes minimum followed by air cooling.
