Static, low-stress parts in hot oxidising gas, such as furnace belts, flame hoods, honeycomb seals and combustor splash plates, where oxidation or scale loss above 1750 °F is the limit
Weakest at
Strength above about 1800 °F, where sheet UTS falls to 68 MPa, and welding of restrained parts through the 595 to 925 °C range, where gamma-prime precipitation can cause strain-age cracking
Risk at a glance
- People Low. Nickel codes apply
- If it fails High. Strain-age cracking in restrained welds
- Corrosion Moderate. Nitriding is the weak point at low temperature, where the alumina scale does not yet protect the alloy.

Why it exists
Haynes 214 is a nickel-chromium-aluminium-iron alloy made for oxidation resistance above 955 °C. Its nominal composition is 75 % nickel, 16 % chromium, 4.5 % aluminium and 3 % iron. Above 1750 °F it forms a tight alumina scale, and the brochure reports 0.1 mil metal loss after 1008 h at 2100 °F in flowing air. The brochure also reports excellent resistance to carburisation, nitriding and corrosion in chlorine-bearing oxidising gas. It is a low-stress, high-temperature alloy: strength falls sharply above about 1800 °F, and welds in restrained parts need care.
Where it's used
Gas-turbine seals and combustor parts
Haynes International's aerospace brochure lists foil honeycomb seals and combustor splash plates in gas turbines. This is aircraft and land-based turbine use, and no spacecraft or rocket record was found.
Industrial flame hoods
A 214 flamehood stayed in service for 16 months in an automotive products plant, where other nickel alloy hoods lasted three to four months.
Clean firing
A 214 mesh belt ran for 3000 h at 1800 °F in a chinaware kiln with minimal wear. The brochure also lists heat treatment of electronic devices and technical ceramics.

How it compares
The brochure compares 214 with other wrought alloys in flowing air at 2100 °F for 1008 h. Its average metal affected is 13 µm, against 122 µm for alloy 600 and 165 µm for alloy 601, and in the 1095 °C burner-rig test (500 h) it lost 1.2 mils (30 µm) against more than 23 mils (584 µm) for alloy 601. The comparison is within one brochure, and the other alloys have their own profiles, so read the table rows as examples rather than a ranking.
The same measurements for each material, so you can compare them. Each row names the key condition under the value; the full conditions and methods are in the numbered notes under Technical details. Other materials are shown beside it; each was measured under its own conditions, so open its page before comparing closely. Compare every grade in the family.

Why choose it, and why not
Good for
- Oxidation resistance above 1750 °F: 0.1 mil metal loss after 1008 h at 2100 °F in flowing air.
- Chlorine-contaminated hot gas: 51 µm of affected metal after 50 h at 1830 °F with 2 % chlorine.
- Static, low-stress hot parts such as seals, belts, flame hoods and splash plates.
Watch out for
- Strength falls sharply above about 1800 °F, and the alloy is for low-stress parts only.
- Restrained welds can crack by strain-age cracking through 595 to 925 °C.
- Nitriding uptake is highest at the lowest test temperature: 1.5 mg/cm2 in 168 h at 649 °C, against 0.2 mg/cm2 at 1093 °C.
- No spacecraft, rocket or satellite use was verified for this alloy.

Corrosion and compatibility
What happens when it meets other materials and environments.
| Environment | Concern | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| High-temperature air or combustion gases, 1150 °C | low | Haynes 214 forms a tight alumina scale and loses very little metal after 1008 h at 2100 °F.1 |
| Fuel-oil combustion products (burner rig), 980 °C | low | Burner-rig oxidation is limited to about 46 µm of affected metal after 1000 h at 1800 °F.2 |
| Chlorine-bearing oxidising gas, 1000 °C | low | Chlorine attack is slight: 2 mils of total affected metal after 50 h at 1830 °F in air with 2 % chlorine.3 |
| Ammonia or nitrogen-bearing gas at 649 °C | moderate | Nitriding is the weak point at low temperature, where the alumina scale does not yet protect the alloy.4 |
| # | Environment | Details | Test conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High-temperature air or combustion gases, 1150 °C | In flowing air at 2100 °F for 1008 h the average metal loss was 0.1 mil (3 µm) and the average metal affected 0.5 mil (13 µm). The same test on alloy 600 gave 4.8 mils (122 µm) affected and alloy 601 gave 6.5 mils (165 µm). | specimen sheet couponsair velocity 7.0 ft/mincycling to RT once per week |
| 2 | Fuel-oil combustion products (burner rig), 980 °C | The average metal affected was 1.8 mils (45.7 µm) after 1000 h at 1800 °F. Alloy 601 was more than 23 mils (584 µm) and RA330 reached 10.5 mils (267 µm) in the same test. At 2100 °F for 200 h, 214 lost 2.0 mils (51 µm) of metal. | basis fuel oil 2 parts No. 1 to 1 part No. 2, air to fuel about 50:1, gas velocity about 0.3 Mach |

Risks and side effects
Hazards to people, what happens when a cell overheats, and how the material is handled and stored.
For people
The alloy is a solid metal with no classification in the sources read. Its nickel content carries the hazard codes in the PubChem nickel record.
- Solid alloy
- The PubChem aggregated nickel record lists skin sensitisation (H317 in 99.9 % of reports that give a code), suspected cancer (H351 in 72.9 %) and organ damage from prolonged exposure (H372 in 99.7 %). Signal word Danger.
- Fume and dust
- The sources read give no safety data for welding fume or grinding dust from this alloy. Treat them with the same care as nickel fume until a safety data sheet is read.
If it fails
These failure routes come from the manufacturer's test and fabrication notes, not from field incidents.
- Weld cracking
- Highly restrained welds can crack by strain-age cracking if they are heated slowly through 595 to 925 °C, because gamma prime precipitates there.
- High-temperature strength
- Sheet tensile strength falls from 975 MPa at room temperature to 68 MPa at 982 °C, and 1 % creep takes only 2.8 MPa for 1000 h at 1093 °C.
- Intermediate-temperature ductility
- The brochure says ductility falls from about 90 % near 1095 °C to about 15 % in the 700 to 760 °C range.
Handling and storage
- Heat treatment
- Solution treat at 1095 °C, then cool quickly. Lower-temperature age hardening below 955 °C is not suggested.
- Welding
- Limit restraint in the weld design, and heat rapidly through 595 to 925 °C.

Failure risks
| Failure | Trigger and consequence |
|---|---|
| Strain-age cracking in restrained weldshigh severity | Highly stressed, highly restrained welded parts heated slowly through 595 to 925 °C (1100 to 1700 °F), where gamma-prime (Ni3Al) precipitatesCracks in the weld or heat-affected zone. The brochure says this is the main fabrication problem with the alloy and that the remedy is to limit restraint or heat rapidly through the range. |
| Loss of strength at high temperaturemoderate severity | Use under stress above about 1800 °F (982 °C)Sheet ultimate tensile strength falls from 975 MPa at RT to 68 MPa at 982 °C and 38 MPa at 1093 °C. A 1 % creep strain takes only 2.8 MPa for 1000 h at 1093 °C. |
| Loss of ductility in the intermediate rangemoderate severity | Service or exposure near 700 to 760 °C (1300 to 1400 °F)The brochure says tensile elongation drops from about 90 % near 2000 °F to about 15 % in the 1300 to 1400 °F range, so there is little ductility left in that range. |
Handling and storage
- Solution heat treat at 2000 °F (1095 °C) and cool rapidly or quench for best properties. Heat treatment below the solution temperature causes grain-boundary carbide precipitation, and below 1750 °F (955 °C) it precipitates gamma prime. Those lower-temperature age-hardening treatments are not suggested.
- Hot working needs a hold at 2100 °F (1150 °C) long enough to bring the whole piece to temperature. All hot or cold worked parts should be annealed and rapidly cooled to restore the best balance of properties.
Mitigations
- Minimise weldment restraint through component design, and heat rapidly through 595 to 925 °C during post-fabrication heat treatment or first-use heat-up.
Supply and geography
How common the raw materials are and where they come from.
Nickel (mine production, 2025 estimate)
- Top producers (2025)
- Indonesia 66.7%, Philippines 6.9%, Russia 5.1%, New Caledonia 3.6%, Canada 3.6%
- Recycling
- USGS: nickel recovered from scrap accounted for about 60 % of 2025 apparent consumption, and most recycled nickel went to new alloys and stainless steel.
- Substitutes
- USGS: titanium alloys can substitute for nickel or nickel-base alloys in corrosive environments.

summary: |
Haynes 214 (UNS N07214) is a wrought nickel-chromium-aluminium-iron alloy made for oxidation resistance above about 955 °C (1750 °F). Its nominal composition is 75 % nickel, 16 % chromium, 4.5 % aluminium and 3 % iron. Above 1750 °F it forms a tight alumina scale, and Haynes International's brochure reports only 0.1 mil metal loss after 1008 h at 2100 °F in flowing air. At room temperature the cold-rolled and annealed sheet has a yield strength of 577 MPa and an elongation of 37.3 %, but its strength falls sharply above about 1800 °F, and welds in restrained parts can crack by strain-age cracking if heated slowly through 595 to 925 °C.
best_for: Static, low-stress parts in hot oxidising gas, such as furnace belts, flame hoods, honeycomb seals and combustor splash plates, where oxidation or scale loss above 1750 °F is the limit
weakest_at: Strength above about 1800 °F, where sheet UTS falls to 68 MPa, and welding of restrained parts through the 595 to 925 °C range, where gamma-prime precipitation can cause strain-age cracking

failure_risks:
- mode: Strain-age cracking in restrained welds
trigger: Highly stressed, highly restrained welded parts heated slowly through 595 to 925 °C (1100 to 1700 °F), where gamma-prime (Ni3Al) precipitates
consequence: Cracks in the weld or heat-affected zone. The brochure says this is the main fabrication problem with the alloy and that the remedy is to limit restraint or heat rapidly through the range.
severity: high
source: haynes-h3008
where: Fabrication section, first paragraph
- mode: Loss of strength at high temperature
trigger: Use under stress above about 1800 °F (982 °C)
consequence: Sheet ultimate tensile strength falls from 975 MPa at RT to 68 MPa at 982 °C and 38 MPa at 1093 °C. A 1 % creep strain takes only 2.8 MPa for 1000 h at 1093 °C.

consequence: The brochure says tensile elongation drops from about 90 % near 2000 °F to about 15 % in the 1300 to 1400 °F range, so there is little ductility left in that range.

handling:

Heat treatment below the solution temperature causes grain-boundary carbide precipitation, and below 1750 °F (955 °C) it precipitates gamma prime. Those lower-temperature age-hardening treatments are not suggested.

gaps:
- No spacecraft, rocket or satellite use was verified. The Haynes aerospace brochure names 214 only for aircraft gas turbines. A Velo3D datasheet describes rocket-engine suitability, but it returned HTTP 403, so it was not read. Goodfellow's page lists aerospace thermal protection, but that is a distributor claim, not a flight record, so it is not entered as a use.
- The Goodfellow page prints a composition of Ni 76 against the brochure's nominal Ni 75, and it prints density 8.05 g/cm3, which matches the brochure. The brochure nominal composition is used. The Elgiloy strip sheet prints density 8.1 g/cm3 at 20 °C and was not entered as a second density.
- Distributor specification codes printed in the Elgiloy and Ulbrich sheets (PS-6104, PWA 1130, B50A913, B50TF219, PS-6073, MSRR7238, MTS 1379-1, DMD 0495) are not in the designations list because no system in the list fits them. No AMS or ASTM document was read.
- No SDS for solid Haynes 214 stock was read. The hazard codes come from the PubChem nickel record only, and the powder form was not checked.
- The USGS 2026 nickel summary prints no critical-mineral list status, so critical_lists is empty. Chromium and aluminium supply were not looked up.
- Brinell or Rockwell hardness is printed in the brochure (HRBW 100 plate, 94 bar, 98 sheet) but has no canonical property name, so it is not entered.
- The carburization results are shown only as charts in the brochure, so no numbers were read for packed graphite or mixed-gas carburization.
- Creep values at other stresses and temperatures, the thermal-stability tensile data after 1000 h at 760 to 870 °C, and the water-vapour oxidation tables were not entered; the numbers are printed but were left out to keep the profile to the core properties.
- The ASM Alloy Digest entry is paywalled, and the Merrem page returned HTTP 503 during this run, so neither was read.
- No quantitative aqueous corrosion data (pitting temperature, corrosion rate, stress corrosion threshold) was found in a fetched source.
- No cryogenic toughness, Charpy or radiation data was found in the fetched sources; the minimum service temperature is the strip datasheet's suggested limit only.

unreachable: 2
caveats: 6
note: 'Values were read by an AI assistant on 2026-10-26 from the Haynes International H-3008H brochure (text extracted from the PDF), the Ulbrich and Elgiloy datasheets, the USGS nickel summary and the PubChem nickel record. Unreachable: Velo3D datasheet (HTTP 403) and Merrem page (HTTP 503). Caveats: the tensile values are one brochure''s sheet and plate tests; the Ulbrich values are distributor minimums; the Elgiloy wire range is a supplier typical; the supply shares are calculated from USGS tonnages; the hazard codes are for nickel metal, not this alloy; no spacecraft use was verified.'
story:
risk_groups:
- title: For people
lead: The alloy is a solid metal with no classification in the sources read. Its nickel content carries the hazard codes in the PubChem nickel record.
level: 1
verdict: Nickel codes apply
points:
- label: Solid alloy
line: The PubChem aggregated nickel record lists skin sensitisation (H317 in 99.9 % of reports that give a code), suspected cancer (H351 in 72.9 %) and organ damage from prolonged exposure (H372 in 99.7 %). Signal word Danger.
- label: Fume and dust
line: The sources read give no safety data for welding fume or grinding dust from this alloy. Treat them with the same care as nickel fume until a safety data sheet is read.
- title: If it fails
lead: These failure routes come from the manufacturer's test and fabrication notes, not from field incidents.
points:
- label: Weld cracking
line: Highly restrained welds can crack by strain-age cracking if they are heated slowly through 595 to 925 °C, because gamma prime precipitates there.
- label: High-temperature strength
line: Sheet tensile strength falls from 975 MPa at room temperature to 68 MPa at 982 °C, and 1 % creep takes only 2.8 MPa for 1000 h at 1093 °C.
- label: Intermediate-temperature ductility
line: The brochure says ductility falls from about 90 % near 1095 °C to about 15 % in the 700 to 760 °C range.
- title: Handling and storage
points:
- label: Heat treatment
line: Solution treat at 1095 °C, then cool quickly. Lower-temperature age hardening below 955 °C is not suggested.
- label: Welding
line: Limit restraint in the weld design, and heat rapidly through 595 to 925 °C.
why: 'Haynes 214 is a nickel-chromium-aluminium-iron alloy made for oxidation resistance above 955 °C. Its nominal composition is 75 % nickel, 16 % chromium, 4.5 % aluminium and 3 % iron. Above 1750 °F it forms a tight alumina scale, and the brochure reports 0.1 mil metal loss after 1008 h at 2100 °F in flowing air. The brochure also reports excellent resistance to carburisation, nitriding and corrosion in chlorine-bearing oxidising gas. It is a low-stress, high-temperature alloy: strength falls sharply above about 1800 °F, and welds in restrained parts need care.'
uses:
- where: Gas-turbine seals and combustor parts
line: Haynes International's aerospace brochure lists foil honeycomb seals and combustor splash plates in gas turbines. This is aircraft and land-based turbine use, and no spacecraft or rocket record was found.
- where: Industrial flame hoods
line: A 214 flamehood stayed in service for 16 months in an automotive products plant, where other nickel alloy hoods lasted three to four months.
- where: Clean firing
line: A 214 mesh belt ran for 3000 h at 1800 °F in a chinaware kiln with minimal wear. The brochure also lists heat treatment of electronic devices and technical ceramics.
can_do:
- label: Resist oxidation
value: 0.1 mil metal loss
line: After 1008 h at 2100 °F in flowing air, the average metal loss was 0.1 mil (3 µm), and the average metal affected was 0.5 mil (13 µm).
- label: Carry heat
value: 12 W/m-°C
benchmark: thermal_conductivity
line: Thermal conductivity is 12 W/m-°C at room temperature and 23.9 W/m-°C at 600 °C. The brochure says it is lower than that of steel.
- label: Weight
value: 8.05 g/cm3
benchmark: density
line: Density is 8.05 g/cm3 at room temperature in the brochure.
- label: Melting
value: 1355 to 1400 °C
benchmark: melting_point
line: The melting range is 1355 to 1400 °C (2475 to 2550 °F).
- label: Strength when annealed
value: 577 MPa yield
benchmark: yield_strength
line: Cold-rolled and annealed sheet has a room-temperature yield strength of 577 MPa and a tensile strength of 975 MPa, with 37.3 % elongation.
compare: The brochure compares 214 with other wrought alloys in flowing air at 2100 °F for 1008 h. Its average metal affected is 13 µm, against 122 µm for alloy 600 and 165 µm for alloy 601, and in the 1095 °C burner-rig test (500 h) it lost 1.2 mils (30 µm) against more than 23 mils (584 µm) for alloy 601. The comparison is within one brochure, and the other alloys have their own profiles, so read the table rows as examples rather than a ranking.
compare_rows:
- label: Density
benchmark: density
- label: Thermal conductivity
benchmark: thermal_conductivity
- label: Yield strength
benchmark: yield_strength
handling:
- Specify the temper and form, because the tensile values differ between sheet, plate and wire.
- Keep restrained welds below the strain-age range, or heat them quickly through 595 to 925 °C.
- Do not use the alloy for high-stress parts above about 1800 °F, where its strength is nearly gone.
good_for:
- 'Oxidation resistance above 1750 °F: 0.1 mil metal loss after 1008 h at 2100 °F in flowing air.'
- 'Chlorine-contaminated hot gas: 51 µm of affected metal after 50 h at 1830 °F with 2 % chlorine.'
- Static, low-stress hot parts such as seals, belts, flame hoods and splash plates.
watch_out:
- Strength falls sharply above about 1800 °F, and the alloy is for low-stress parts only.
- Restrained welds can crack by strain-age cracking through 595 to 925 °C.
- 'Nitriding uptake is highest at the lowest test temperature: 1.5 mg/cm2 in 168 h at 649 °C, against 0.2 mg/cm2 at 1093 °C.'
- No spacecraft, rocket or satellite use was verified for this alloy.
verdict: Haynes 214 is a low-stress, oxidation-resistant alloy for hot oxidising and chlorine-bearing gas above about 955 °C, with 0.1 mil metal loss after 1008 h at 2100 °F. It is weak above about 1800 °F, can crack in restrained welds, and takes up the most nitrogen at 649 °C. No spaceflight record was found.
recipe:
line: Haynes 214 is a wrought, solid-solution nickel alloy with a nominal composition of 75 % nickel, 16 % chromium, 4.5 % aluminium and 3 % iron, plus small additions of yttrium and carbon (Haynes brochure).
