ASME SB 622 UNS N10276 Hastelloy C276 Tubing Manufacturer & Supplier in USA
Hastelloy C276 is a high-performance nickel chrome molybdenum alloy tubing that has a very harsh environment in corrosive as well as high-temperature settings. UNS N10276 Hastelloy C276 tubes are manufactured to standards of ASTM B622 and ASTM B619 and they provide unique resistance to pitting, crevice, stress corrosion cracking, oxidizing, and reducing media. The mentioned properties make Hastelloy C276 tubing one of the materials of choice in the chemical processing, pollution control, oil and gas, and power generation industries.
USA Piping Solution offers Hastelloy C276 tubing in seamless and welded forms with tight dimensional tolerances, uniform wall thickness, and high-quality surface finish, fit to be used in high-stakes industrial practices.
What is Hastelloy C276 Tube?
Hastelloy C276 is a solid solution strengthened nickel-based alloy, which includes large proportions of chromium, molybdenum, as well as tungsten. Hastelloy C276 tubing is optimally designed to work well in conditions that have high acids, chlorides, wet chlorine gas and combine with corrosive chemicals. C276 tubing, in contrast to other conventional stainless steels, is able to be difficult to corrode, as well as to remain stable mechanically, even at higher temperatures and pressures.
The alloy finds extensive application where a faulty piece of equipment caused by corrosion may cost the company dearly through loss of time or jeopardize safety.

Chemical Composition of Hastelloy C276 Tubes
Hastelloy C276 tubing derives its corrosion resistance from a carefully balanced chemical composition:
| Element | Composition (%) |
|---|---|
| Nickel (Ni) | Balance |
| Chromium (Cr) | 14.5 – 16.5 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 15.0 – 17.0 |
| Iron (Fe) | 4.0 – 7.0 |
| Tungsten (W) | 3.0 – 4.5 |
| Carbon (C) | Max 0.01 |
The high molybdenum and chromium content provides superior resistance to localized corrosion and aggressive chemical environments.
