Hastelloy C-276 pipe fittings refer to factory-made wrought nickel alloy fittings manufactured to ASTM B366 UNS N10276. It can be designated as CRHC276(corrosion resistant fittings) or WPHC276(ASME pressure fittings). The fittings can be manufactured from pipe or tube of ASTM B619, B622, B626 UNS N10276, plate, sheet or strip of ASTM B575 UNS N10276, forging or bar of ASTM B564, B462, B472, B574 Gr. N10276. The Hastelloy C-276 fittings are mainly furnished in 3 connection types: butt welding, threaded, socket welding, covering a variety of standard specifications.
Since Alloy C-276 contains a high amount of nickel in its chemical composition, the metal is very ductile. Therefore forming it into various shaped Hastelloy C276 Pipe Fittings becomes very simple. Yet, this is not the only benefit offered by this alloy. Like many nickel containing alloys, the strength and corrosion resistance properties of this alloy make it one of the most sought after ones by Hastelloy Fittings Suppliers. The metal is capable of exhibiting superior resistance to pitting. Unlike highly ductile materials that tend to exhibit failure against stress corrosion cracking, on the application of a tensile load, the Alloy C276 Pipe Fittings are able to withstand such levels of stress.
