Hastelloy C276 is produced and traded under several internationally recognised designations. All four designations — UNS N10276, WNR 2.4819, NW 0276 and Nicrofer 5716 — refer to the same alloy composition and are interchangeable in engineering specifications.

The low carbon content (0.01% maximum) prevents carbide precipitation during welding, allowing Hastelloy C276 bar to be used in the as-welded condition without sensitisation, a significant advantage over higher-carbon nickel alloys in fabricated assemblies.

Important note on hardening: Hastelloy C276 cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Strength is increased through cold working only. The alloy exhibits a higher work hardening rate compared to standard austenitic stainless steels, which must be factored into machining and forming operations. In the annealed condition the alloy is essentially non-magnetic, but may become slightly magnetic after extensive cold working.

Hastelloy C276 Round Bar Product Forms Available

Product Form Description
Round Bar Standard round cross-section; most common form for machined components
Hex Bar Hexagonal cross-section; for valve stems, fittings, instrumentation bodies
Flat Bar Rectangular section in standard widths; for brackets, flanges, structural uses
Square Bar Square cross-section; for keyways, structural and machined parts
Hollow Bar Tubular bar for machining into sleeves, bushings and hollow shafts
PSQ Bar (Pump Shaft Quality) Centreless-ground, tight-tolerance bar for agitator and pump shaft applications; straightness and surface finish held to precision standards
Bright Bar Cold-drawn and polished; superior surface finish for instrumentation and precision machining
Forged Bar For large diameters requiring improved grain structure and mechanical integrity
Precision Ground Bar Ground to H8/h9 tolerance for critical-clearance assemblies
PSQ (Pump Shaft Quality) bar deserves particular attention. This is a centreless-ground, close-tolerance bar produced specifically for rotating equipment applications such as agitator shafts and pump shafts, where straightness, roundness and surface finish directly affect seal life and equipment performance. PSQ bar is the preferred specification for severe chemical service pump and agitator applications in HCl, H2SO4 and HF environments.

Applications of Hastelloy C276 Round Bars

Component-Level Applications

Agitator shafts: PSQ bar is the standard specification for agitator shaft applications in chemical reactors handling HCl, H2SO4, HF and mixed acid environments, where dimensional precision and corrosion resistance must be maintained simultaneously.

Pump shafts: The combination of tensile strength (790 MPa min), corrosion resistance and machinability makes C276 PSQ bar the preferred choice for centrifugal and reciprocating pump shafts in chemical process industries.

Valve stems and spindles: Hex bar and round bar in C276 are used for valve stems and spindles in severe service valves handling chlorine, HCl and mixed acid streams.

Heat exchanger tube sheets: C276 forged bar and plate are machined into tube sheets for heat exchangers in chloride-rich and acid service.

Reactor internals: Baffles, supports, thermowell bars and instrumentation components machined from C276 round bar for chemical and pharmaceutical reactors.

Industry Applications

Chemical Processing Industry: Primary industry for C276 bar; used in acid pickling tanks, chemical reactors, and agitator shafts handling HCl, H2SO4 and HF.

Pollution Control / Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD): C276 bar and fittings for absorber vessels and rotating equipment in coal-fired power plant scrubber systems.

Pulp and Paper Industry: Bleach plant equipment, digesters and handling systems where chlorine compounds and acids are present.

Offshore Oil and Gas: Downhole tools, wellhead components and subsea equipment in sour gas (H2S + CO2 + chloride) service per NACE MR0175.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Reactor shafts, agitators and vessel internals where both acid resistance and cleanliness are required.

Hastelloy C276 Round Bar Frequently Asked Questions

ASTM B574 is a standard specification published by ASTM International of wrought Hastelloy C276 (UNS N10276) bar. The same standard that is used by ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is ASME SB574 that is used in the construction of pressure vessels and piping. The technical specifications – composition, mechanical properties and testing are the same. ASME SB574 must be used in ASME-coded construction when the material is utilized.

No. Hastelloy C276 cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Cold working is the only way to increase strength. After welding or forming, solution annealing (usually 1121 degrees C followed by water quench) is used to reestablish the optimum corrosion resistance. The alloy is more work hardening than conventional austenitic stainless steels.

PSQ (Pump Shaft Quality) bar is centreless-ground bar made of Hastelloy C276 in a tight tolerance of diameter, straightness and finish. These accuracy parameters play a pivotal role in rotating equipment tasks whereby shaft deflection and surface roughness influence mechanical seal operation and equipment dependability. PSQ bar Precludes second grinding processes in most pump shaft applications.

Hastelloy C276 may be utilized as continuous service at temperatures as high as about 1038 degrees C (1900 degrees F). However, corrosion resistance in aqueous media is optimised in the solution-annealed condition. At higher temperatures (above 650 degrees C), aqueous corrosion is replaced by thermal oxidation as the dominant mode of degradation.

Yes. One of the main distinctions of Hastelloy C276 in comparison with other nickel alloys and stainless steels is its great resistance to hydrochloric acid (HCl) in all concentrations and temperatures. This causes it to be the standard material in HCl pickling equipment, acid reactors and their related agitator and pump shafts.

Aashish Metals provides EN 10204 3.1 mill test reports, certifying the chemical composition and mechanical properties. EN 10204 3.2 (third-party witnessed) can be requested. Oil and gas applications can use compliance documentation of NACE MR0175 and have raw material traceability certificates.
