Super Alloy HASTELLOY(r) C276 (UNS N10276)
HASTELLOY(r) C276 is a wrought corrosionresistant alloy that resists the development of grain boundary precipitates that degrade corrosion resistance.
Fabrication and Heat Treatment
Annealing
HASTELLOY(r) C276 is generally used in the solution treated condition. This alloy is soaked at 1121°C (2050°F) and then quenched in a rapid manner.
Cold Working
Conventional cold working procedures are used for cold working HASTELLOY(r).
Welding
HASTELLOY(r) C276 is capable of being welded by the commonly used welding methods. During the welding process excessive input of heat should be avoided. For corrosive applications this alloy is capable of being used in the “aswelded” condition without the need for more heat treatment.
Forging
Conventional methods are used to forge or hotupset HASTELLOY(r) C276.
Forming
HASTELLOY(r) C276 can be formed by being cold worked using conventional techniques.
Machinability
HASTELLOY(r) C276 has good machinability characteristic.
Heat Treatment
HASTELLOY(r) C276 is solution heat treated at 1121°C (2050°F) and then quenched rapidly. In case of forging or hot forming, the parts should first be solution heat treated before usage.
Hardening
HASTELLOY(r) C276 is cold worked to be hardened.
Hot Working
Super alloy HASTELLOY(r) C276 is capable of being extruded or hot formed. After the hot forming process, this alloy should be solution heat treated.
Aging
Aging is not performed for HASTELLOY(r) C276 that is utilized in a solution treated condition.
Applications
HASTELLOY(r) C276 is used for desulphurization of flue gas equipment and for chemical process equipment.
