What is the code for hastelloy C276?
Proven performance in a variety of corrosive chemicals for over 50 years
HASTELLOY C-276 alloy (UNS N10276) is the first wrought nickel-chromium-molybdenum material to alleviate welding problems (by virtue of its extremely low carbon and silicon content). As a result, it is widely accepted in chemical processing and related industries and has a proven track record of reliable performance in a wide range of corrosive chemicals for more than 50 years.
Like other nickel alloys, it is ductile, easy to form and weld, and has excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking (a form of degradation to which austenitic stainless steels are susceptible) in solutions containing chlorides. With its high chromium and molybdenum content, it is resistant to oxidizing and non-oxidizing acids and exhibits excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in the presence of chlorides and other halides. Additionally, it is highly resistant to sulfide stress cracking and stress corrosion cracking in sour oilfield environments.
HASTELLOY C-276 alloy is available in plate, sheet, strip, billet, rod, wire, tube, tube and clad electrode form. Typical chemical process industry (CPI) applications include reactors, heat exchangers, and columns.
