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

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.

Uses recorded in the sources include Honeycomb seals, combustor splash plates and other static oxidation-limited parts in gas turbines; Flame hood exposed to direct flame impingement in an industrial plant; Mesh belts, trays and fixtures for clean firing of electronic devices and technical ceramics.

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.

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). It is supplied in the solution heat-treated condition, solution treated at 1095 °C and cooled rapidly (Haynes brochure).

What it can do

Resist oxidation

0.1 mil metal loss

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).

Carry heat

12 W/m-°C

measured

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.

Weight

8.05 g/cm3

measured

Density is 8.05 g/cm3 at room temperature in the brochure.

Melting

1355 to 1400 °C

measured

The melting range is 1355 to 1400 °C (2475 to 2550 °F).

Strength when annealed

577 MPa yield

measured

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

FailureTrigger and consequence
Strain-age cracking in restrained weldshigh severityHighly 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 severityUse 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 severityService 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.
