IN-519 is a cast heat-resistant alloy developed at the Birmingham Research Laboratory of the International Nickel Company, Ltd.(1) The alloy reportedly has higher creep-rupture strength than the HK-40 alloy at 1600 to 1800 F, and has been recommended for application as catalyst tubes in ammonia reformer furnaces and hydrogen heaters. The alloy is available as both static and centrifugal castings from a number of high alloy foundries. Although to date there has been relatively little usage of the alloy in the United States, it is understood that the alloy has been used for over 2 years in Europe.
