What is the common use of Hastelloy C276?
Hastelloy C-276, also sold as Nickel Alloy C-276, is a nickel-molybdenum-chromium deformed alloy. Hastelloy C-276 is ideally suited where protection from severe and localized corrosion is required. Other important properties of the alloy Nickel Alloy C-276 and Hastelloy C-276 include its resistance to oxidizing agents such as:
Ferric chloride and copper chloride
Organic and inorganic thermal contamination media
Chlorine (wet chlorine)
seawater
acid
hypochlorite
carbon dioxide
Hastelloy C-276 and Nickel Alloy C-276 Applications
Additionally, Nickel Alloy C-276 and Hastelloy C-276 can be welded using all common welding methods (oxyacetylene is not recommended). Because of Hastelloy C-276's excellent corrosion resistance, it is used in a wide range of critical applications across a variety of industries, including:
Almost everything related to sulfuric acid (heat exchangers, evaporators, filters and mixers)
Bleaching units and digesters for paper and pulp manufacturing
Components used around sour gases
Marine Engineering
waste disposal
pollution control
