Hastelloy C276 is a highly corrosion-resistant nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy specifically engineered for use in the most demanding chemical and environmental conditions. With excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive media, including strong oxidizers, reducers, chlorides, and mixed acid environments, C276 is a trusted material in critical instrumentation systems where failure is not an option. Its alloy composition, which includes added tungsten, enhances its durability in both oxidizing and reducing service environments.
In industrial instrumentation, Hastelloy C276 is extensively used for tubing, fittings, valves, diaphragms, thermowells, and sensor housings. These components are integral to systems that monitor and control processes in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, marine, and pulp & paper. Because of its superior corrosion resistance, C276 is ideal for transmitting or sensing fluids containing hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, chlorine gas, wet chlorine, acetic acid, and seawater β all of which can cause rapid degradation in common stainless steels.
Hastelloy C276 maintains its mechanical integrity in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, which is critical for instrumentation operating under extreme process conditions. It resists localized corrosion forms such as pitting and crevice corrosion, as well as stress corrosion cracking, which can be catastrophic in process control environments. These properties make it particularly suitable for long-term deployment in aggressive fluid handling systems and in remote or hard-to-access locations where maintenance must be minimized.
Fabrication of instrumentation components from C276 is straightforward using standard procedures. The alloy is readily weldable using appropriate filler materials (such as ERNiCrMo-4), without the need for post-weld heat treatment in many cases. It also retains excellent corrosion resistance in the heat-affected zones, a key requirement for welded tubing or instrument manifolds. C276 tubing and components are available in standard instrumentation sizes and are fully compatible with precision systems from manufacturers like Swagelok, Parker, and others.
