![Hastelloy® C-276]( "Hastelloy® C-276")
Hastelloy® C-276
HASTELLOY® C-276® is a wrought corrosion-resistant alloy. A prime advantage of this alloy is that it generally does not require solution heat treatment after welding. Hastelloy resists the formation of grain boundary precipitates that would degrade corrosion resistance. Alloy C-276 offers improved fabricability over the similarly corrosion-resistant Alloy C. Conventional methods can be used to hot work and cold form Alloy C-276, and typical welding techniques are appropriate. Resistant to forming grain boundary precipitates in the weld-affected zone, Alloy C-276 is appropriate in the as-welded condition for many chemical processes. Other benefits include resistance to pitting, stress-corrosion cracking and oxidation to 1900° F (1038° C).
Hastelloy® C276 is used for rotors, bolts, shafts, blades and other components in marine applications and other industries, including pollution control; food, waste and chemical processing; paper operations; and multipurpose plants. Tungsten has been added to this versatile nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy, which resists crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and pitting. Resistant to chloride ions and sulfur blends, Hastelloy C 276 is ideal for flue gas desulfurization applications.
Hastelloy C 276 (also known as UNS N10276) is available from Professional Plastics in the following:

![Lava - Alumina Silicate L911A]( "Lava - Alumina Silicate L911A")
Lava - Alumina Silicate L911A
Machinable Alumina Silicate L911A (Lava)
- Aluminum silicate is machinable in an unfired state and used in applications up to 1000 F
- After firing, parts are as hard as carbide & usable up to 2100 F
- Aluminum silicate has low thermal expansion
Aluminum silicate is low cost
- Aluminum silicate is available in wide range of stock up to 12" in diameter.
Grade "A" Lava is a natural ceramic material. In chemical terms it is a hydrous alumina silicate. We supply this material in standard rods, blocks, and plates as well as special shapes.
Machining
Unfired Grade "A" Lava is a free machining material that can be shaped using most machine tools. The material is non-toxic but as with any airborn dust it could a be respiratory irritant if directly inhaled. Common sense and dust collection systems are recommended.
Firing:
The following procedure should be followed carefully to avoid cracking:
Machined parts should be placed in a cool furnace and protected from direct heat radiation. The use of refractory furniture, boxes,or baffles is recommended. A heating rate of 200 - 250º F per hour is typical. The rate of heating should not exceed 300º F per hour. Parts with cross sections exceeding 1/2" are more critical and cracking may occur during the firing cycle. If a cross section of 1/2" or greater is unavoidable, a heating rate of approximately 50º - 150º F per hour and strategically placed stress relief holes may help minimize cracking.
The maturing temperature of Grade "A" Lava is between 1850º and 2000º F. The temperature should be maintained for approximately 30 minutes up to 1/4" cross section and 45 minutes for 1/2" and greater cross sections. Fired pieces may be removed from the furnace after cooling below 200º F.
During the firing process, Grade "A" Lava expands approximately 2%. A temperature of 2000º F should not be exceeded. If 2000º F is exceeded, crystallization, distortion, shrinkage and a loss of stated material properties will occur.
As with most natural materials, texture, color, hardness, machinability, final expansion, and ideal firing temperatures may vary.
