All About Hastelloy C276 Forgings
Although Hastelloy Alloy C276 Forgings are categorised as moderate to tough to machine alloys because of their nickel and cobalt base composition, it should be noted that these alloys may be machined at adequate rates utilising traditional production techniques. Equipment for the processing of pharmaceuticals and foods, the treatment of industrial and municipal waste, the production of pulp and paper, and other applications all use Hastelloy C276 Forgings. Only modest cutting speeds and constant tool engagement should be utilised since these Hastelloy DIN 2.4819 Forgings are susceptible to work-hardening.
These Hastelloy Alloy C276 Forgings are utilised for a variety of welding tasks, including the overlay or cladding of steels and the welding of other nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys and stainless steels. This also applies to the nickel alloy C276 forgings used by the paper manufacturing sector, which employs chemicals to cure its products. The resistance of these Nickel Alloy C276 Forgings to general corrosion, chloride-induced pitting, and crevice attack is typically unaffected by cold work, but the resistance to stress corrosion cracking may be. Hastelloy C276 forgings should be annealed after working and should be done at a temperature between 2050 and 2150 degrees Fahrenheit. This should be followed by a quick quench under cover of an atmosphere of protection or in an agitated decreasing quench bath.
A well-known product for use in heavy engineering applications is the Hastelloy grade. Different finishing techniques including vivid black and satin polishes are used to polish Hastelloy fittings. These can withstand rusting situations better because of this.
Hastelloy C276 Forgings are frequently used in Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) applications for dampers, ducting, and scrubbers. They are specifically employed in sour gas applications. Industries include chemical processing, pulp and paper production, waste treatment, and pollution control using Inconel C276 Forged Fittings.
