Hastelloy C- 276 is a nickel-molybdenum-chromium superalloy with the expansive properties of tungsten and is designed to have excellent corrosion resistance in a variety of severe conditions. The high nickel alloy and molybdenum species make the nickel steel alloy particularly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion under reduced conditions, while chromium has the ability to resist oxidation media. The low carbon content minimizes the precipitation of carbides during the welding process to maintain the corrosion resistance of the welded structure. These nickel alloys are resistant to the formation of grain limit acceleration in the heat affected zone of welding, making them suitable for most chemical process applications in the welded state.
