HPM® C276 • UNS N10276

HPM® C 276 is a Nickel-Molybdenum-Chromium-Tungsten alloy with a high level of corrosion resistance. A low carbon content enables the alloy to resist intergranular corrosion at weld joints. These attributes make it an important alloy for the most severe chemical processing applications. such as use in metal diaphragms for aerospace sensors and burst discs.

The alloy is readily formed from the annealed temper.All standard welding methods except oxy-acetylene can be used for joining.

Available Sizes:

HPM® C 276 is available from Hamilton Precision Metals as strip product in thicknesses From 0.0005” to 0.050” (0.0127 mm to 1.27 mm) and widths up to 12.0” (304.8 mm). The material conforms to ASTM B575 and UNS N10276.
