Hastelloy C-276 (also known as Inconel 276 or UNS N10276 / 2.4819) is a corrosion-resistant nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy with excellent resistance to strong oxidizing and reducing environments. Its bars are widely used in various industries due to their exceptional properties.
Applications of Hastelloy C-276 Bars
- Chemical Processing Industry
Used in reactors, heat exchangers, piping systems, and vessels due to high corrosion resistance.
Suitable for handling strong oxidizers like chlorine and ferric acids.
- Aerospace & Marine Industries
Ideal for aircraft components exposed to harsh chemical environments.
Used in seawater applications due to its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
- Power Plants & Pollution Control
Utilized in flue gas scrubbers, ducting, and stack liners in waste gas treatment plants.
Helps resist sulfuric and hydrochloric acid corrosion in fossil fuel power plants.
- Pharmaceutical & Food Processing
Applied in sterile and hygienic environments to prevent contamination from corrosion.
Used in high-temperature steam applications.
- Pulp & Paper Industry
Helps in bleaching plants where chloride-rich environments demand high corrosion resistance.
- Oil & Gas Industry
Employed in offshore drilling rigs, pipelines, and heat exchangers where exposure to seawater and sour gas is common.
- Nuclear & Waste Treatment
Used in radioactive waste processing and storage due to its ability to withstand aggressive chemicals.
Hastelloy C-276 bars are highly valued in extreme environments where conventional stainless steels fail, making them a crucial material in high-performance industrial applications.
