Alloy C 276 (UNS N10276/ 2.4819) is known for its corrosion resistance in a variety of corrosive media. The high molybdenum content imparts resistance to localized corrosion such as pitting. Low carbon minimizes carbide precipitation during welding to maintain the resistance of the welded joint heat affected zone to intergranular erosion. It is used in chemical processing, pollution control, pulp and paper, industrial and municipal waste treatment, and recovery of “sour” natural gas. Applications in air pollution control include stack liners, ducts, dampers, scrubbers, stack gas reheaters, fans and fan guards. In chemical processing, the alloy is used to make components such as heat exchangers, reaction vessels, evaporators and transfer piping.
