N08120 is a solid-solution-strengthened nickel-iron-chromium heat-resistant alloy. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.
A solid-solution-strengthened heat-resistant alloy, N08120 provides excellent strength at elevated temperature combined with very good resistance to carburizing and sulfidizing environments. Its oxidation resistance is comparable to other widely used Fe-Ni-Cr materials such as alloys 330 and 800H, but its strength at temperatures up to 1095 °C (2000 °F) is significantly higher — even in comparison to nickel-chromium alloys. Alloying additions of tungsten, niobium and nitrogen improve high-temperature strength and resistance to localized attack, while aluminium improves oxidation and sulfidation resistance; its high iron content makes it an economical choice. It is readily formed hot or cold and is commonly welded with Haynes 556 filler wire. It is supplied in the solution-annealed condition.
Typical applications include heat-treatment baskets and fixtures, radiant tubes, recuperators, furnace muffles and retorts, wire-mesh furnace belts, superheaters, waste-incineration and mineral-processing equipment, and land-based gas-turbine components.

Confirm against the mill test report. The alloy's elevated-temperature strength is significantly higher than other Fe-Ni-Cr heat-resistant alloys, even up to 1095 °C.
| Environment | Performance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Carburisation | Excellent | Better than stainless steels |
| Sulfidation | Excellent | Better than 800H, 347SS, 321SS |
| High-temperature oxidation (to ~1150 °C) | Very Good | Comparable to 330 / 800H |
| Hot corrosion / molten salts | Good | Burner-rig validated |
| Nitriding | Good | High chromium |
The high chromium content with aluminium gives oxidation resistance comparable to other Fe-Ni-Cr alloys, while the alloy provides notably better resistance to carburizing and sulfidizing environments than stainless steels and alloys 800H, 347SS and 321SS, combined with significantly higher elevated-temperature strength.
A single-phase solid-solution alloy; not hardenable by precipitation. Properties are set by solution annealing.
Anneal Solution anneal at approximately 1175 °C (2150 °F) and rapidly cool (water or rapid air cool) to retain the best balance of properties. The alloy is not strengthened by heat treatment; all hot- or cold-worked parts should be annealed and rapidly cooled.
Good weldability; readily welded by gas-tungsten-arc, gas-metal-arc and shielded-metal-arc processes, commonly using Haynes 556 filler wire. Welding is performed on solution-annealed material with clean surfaces.
