Nippon Yakin Kogyo NASH38X Heat Resistant Alloys
Manufacturer: Nippon Yakin Kogyo Co., Ltd
Model : NASH38X
NASH38X (UNS N08120)
Heat-Resistant Nickel Alloy
NASH38X (UNS N08120) is a high-nickel heat resistant alloy offering outstanding high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance. With a coarse grain structure controlled by high-temperature heat treatment and C, N, Nb components, NASH38X offers particularly high creep strength.
Nippon Yakin supplies NASH38X in plate form.
| Chemical Composition | 38Ni-25Cr-0.6Nb-0.2N |
| Product shape |  Plate |
| Workability | Cold workability is equivalent to standard austenitic stainless steel. |
| Weldability | NAS-HX is weldable by TIG, MIG, and shielded arc welding processes. AWS A5.9 ER3856 welding electrodes are commonly used. |
| Heat Treatment | NAS-HX exhibits an austenite structure similar to austenitic stainless steel and is heat treated in the same way. Typical heat treatment is as follows: Solution treatment: 1177-1232°C; Rapid cooling. |
| Pickling | A mixture of nitric and fluoric acid is used in pickling. |
