Performance Profile

RA85H is a fully austenitic heat resistant alloy modified with high silicon and aluminum. RA85H is annealed to provide good high temperature strength combined with excellent resistance to thermal fatigue.

The addition of silicon to RA85H provides exceptional resistance to carburization. This property is critical in a variety of applications including heat treating and waste incineration.

RA85H is welded with matching composition RA85H bare filler wire, or AC/CD covered electrodes. For GMAW, use 100% argon or argonhelium shielding gas, do not add oxygen.
