Hastelloy C276 Wire for Acidic Environment Cladding
Our Hastelloy C276 wire is a total rockstar for acidic environment cladding, built to handle the harshest chemical conditions without blinking. This nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy, with about 57% nickel, 16% molybdenum, 16% chromium, plus a dash of tungsten and iron, is our go-to for applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Whether it’s cladding for chemical reactors, welding overlays for pipelines, or mesh reinforcements in acid-handling systems, this wire keeps your equipment protected and running smoothly.
What makes Hastelloy C276 wire stand out is its incredible ability to resist corrosion from tough acids like sulfuric, hydrochloric, and nitric, along with chlorides and alkalis. It’s perfect for cladding in acidic environments, where equipment needs to stay intact to ensure safe and efficient operations. This wire fights off pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, making your cladding layers tough as nails with minimal maintenance.
This wire’s versatility is a huge win. It’s stable up to 1093°C, which is awesome for cladding applications in high-heat chemical settings, like petrochemical refineries or acid production plants. Its low electrical conductivity (~1.5% IACS) is great for applications where electrical isolation matters, and its high strength ensures it holds up under mechanical stress. From pharmaceutical reactors to waste treatment systems, Hastelloy C276 delivers.
