Hastelloy C276 Seamless Tubes & Pipes: Unrivaled Corrosion Resistance in Extreme Chemical Environments

Hastelloy C276 Tubes and Pipes are nickel-molybdenum-chromium superalloys engineered to combat the most aggressive industrial environments. With 15-17% molybdenum, 14.5-16.5% chromium, and 4-7% tungsten, this alloy delivers exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in oxidizing and reducing media. Its low carbon content (<0.01%) minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring stability in temperatures up to 1093°C. Tested per ASTM G28 and G48, Hastelloy C276 exhibits corrosion rates below 0.1 mm/year in sulfuric, hydrochloric, and phosphoric acids, outperforming competitors in chloride-laden and sour gas applications. Precision-crafted to ASTM B622 and B619 standards, these tubes are solution-annealed for optimal microstructure, making them indispensable for chemical processing, flue gas desulfurization, and pharmaceutical industries.

Key Applications of Hastelloy C276 Tubing

1. Chemical Processing: Reactors, scrubbers, and piping in HCl, H2SO4, and Cl₂ environments.

2. Pharmaceutical: CIP/SIP systems and corrosion-resistant vessels for API synthesis.

3. Oil & Gas: Downhole tubing, sour gas pipelines, and LNG heat exchangers.

4. Pollution Control: Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) ducts and chimney liners.

5. Marine Engineering: Seawater cooling systems and offshore platform components.

Hastelloy C276 Tubes & Pipes: Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does Hastelloy C276 compare to C22 in hydrochloric acid service?
A: C276 offers superior resistance to HCl at elevated temperatures (up to 50% concentration at 70°C), with corrosion rates 30% lower than C22 per ASTM G31 testing.

Q2: Can Hastelloy C276 Tubing withstand wet chlorine gas exposure?
A: Yes. Its molybdenum-chromium matrix resists chloride-induced pitting, with <0.005 mm/year corrosion in 80°C wet Cl₂ environments.

Q3: What welding methods preserve C276’s corrosion resistance?
A: Use AWS A5.14 ERNiCrMo-4 filler wire with TIG welding. Post-weld solution annealing at 1121°C restores full corrosion resistance.

Q4: Are thin-walled C276 Tubes suitable for high-pressure acid transfer?
A: Our hydrostatically tested tubes (per ASTM B622) withstand 50 MPa at 200°C, with wall tolerances of ±0.1 mm.

Q5: Does C276 resist sulfuric acid at high temperatures?
A: It handles 98% H2SO4 at 70°C with corrosion rates <0.1 mm/year, outperforming 316L by 90% in ASTM G31 loop tests.
