N08800 stainless steel is a superaustenitic (highly alloyed) stainless steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. N08800 is the UNS number for this material. Alloy 800 is the common industry name. Additionally, the British Standard (BS) designation is NA15. And the AFNOR (French) designation is 25NC35-20.
This material is well established: the Further Reading section below cites a number of published standards, and that list is not necessarily exhaustive.
It can have the highest tensile strength among wrought superaustenitic stainless steels. In addition, it can have the lowest ductility and has a moderately low base cost.
The properties of N08800 stainless steel include four common variations. This page shows summary ranges across all of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare N08800 stainless steel to: wrought superaustenitic stainless steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.

INCOLOY alloy 800 can be welded by common welding techniques, using a matching filler metal.
This alloy exhibits good ductility and hence can be formed using conventional methods.
INCOLOY alloy 800 can be hot worked at temperature ranges of 871-1232°C (1600-2250°F).
Cold working may be done on the alloy using standard tooling.
INCOLOY alloy 800 may be annealed after cold working. Annealing should be done at 982°C (1800°F) for 15 min and then the alloy should be air cooled.
INCOLOY alloy 800 is used in the following applications:
