Hastelloy® C-276, which is also sold as Nickel Alloy C-276, is a nickel-molybdenum-chromium wrought alloy. Hastelloy C-276 is perfect for use in situations that demand protection from aggressive corrosion and localized corrosion attack. This alloy Other important features of Nickel Alloy C-276 and Hastelloy C-276 include its resistance to oxidizers like:

• Ferric and cupric chlorides
• Organic and inorganic hot contaminated media
• Chlorine (wet chlorine gas)
• Seawater
• Acids
• Hypochlorite
• Chlorine dioxide

As well, Nickel Alloy C-276 and Hastelloy C-276 is weldable with all common methods of welding (oxyacetylene is not recommended).  Because of Hastelloy C-276’s outstanding corrosion resistant capabilities, it is used by a wide variety of industries for critical applications including:

• Almost anything used around sulfuric acid (heat exchangers, evaporators, filters, and mixers)
• Bleach plants and digesters for the manufacturing of paper and pulp
• Components used around sour gas
• Marine engineering
• Waste treatment
• Pollution control

The chemical composition of Hastelloy C-276 and Nickel Alloy C-276 make them unique and include:

• Ni 57%
• Mo 15-17%
• Cr 14.5-16.5%
• Fe 4-7%
