Hastelloy C276, designated UNS N10276, is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy enhanced with tungsten for broad resistance to a wide variety of aggressive chemicals. What sets it apart is its ability to withstand both oxidizing and reducing conditions simultaneously, a unique advantage in industries that deal with complex processes.
ASTM B622 governs the manufacturing of seamless tubes in this alloy, ensuring strict quality and dimensional standards. Seamless tubes differ from welded tubes by having no welded seams, which eliminates weak points and improves overall structural integrity. This makes them particularly suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
At DLX, our Hastelloy C276 Seamless Tubes are produced under rigorous standards, delivering the durability and consistency required by global industries.
