RE: Incoloy 800

Here is a tip, get the failed tube to a metallurgical lab for failure analysis. This is the only way to determine the cause of failure.

Repairs? You are looking at probably plugging failed tubes and eventually re-tubing this heat exchanger. Repair Organization? Depending on your locations, you can start out with a qualified boiler repair organization and/or the OEM of the heat exchanger.
