Incoloy 800 mesh is a woven or welded wire mesh made from Incoloy 800 (UNS N08800), a nickel-iron-chromium superalloy designed for high-temperature stability, oxidation resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance. It is widely used in industrial applications requiring strength and durability in extreme environments.
Key Properties of Incoloy 800 Mesh:
✔ Excellent oxidation & carburization resistance (up to 1100°C / 2012°F)
✔ Good creep resistance at elevated temperatures
✔ Resists sulfur-containing atmospheres (e.g., petrochemical processing)
✔ Moderate corrosion resistance to acids, alkalis, and chloride solutions
✔ High strength & thermal stability in continuous high-heat applications
Common Applications of Incoloy 800 Mesh:
– Heat Treatment & Furnace Components
– Mesh belts, radiant tubes, heat shields
– Chemical & Petrochemical Processing
– Catalyst support, filtration in corrosive gases
– Power Generation
– Boiler components, flue gas systems
– Oil & Gas
– Sour gas well screens, refinery filters
– Food & Pharmaceutical Processing
– High-purity screening where contamination must be avoided

Differences Between Incoloy 800, 800H, and 800HT:
Grade | Key Feature | Best For |
Incoloy 800 | Standard version, good general-purpose resistance | Moderate high-temp applications |
Incoloy 800H | Higher carbon content for improved creep resistance | Long-term high-heat exposure (furnaces, reactors) |
Incoloy 800HT | Stabilized with Ti & Al for superior high-temp strength | Extreme thermal cycling (e.g., cracking tubes) |
Why Choose Incoloy 800 Mesh Over Stainless Steel?
– Performs better than 304/316 stainless steel in high-temp oxidizing environments.
– Resists carburization & sulfidation (common in furnace atmospheres).
– Longer lifespan in continuous high-heat industrial processes.
