Materials engineers in thechemical processing and otherindustries have grownaccustomed to specifying its highperformance based on laboratorytesting, field trials and/or priorexperience.Some “generic” alloy N10276products fail to measure up to theperformance industry expectsfrom HASTELLOY C-276 alloywhich is produced via exactingprocesses, and backed by yearsof experience in chemistry control,thermal-mechanical processing,testing and qualifications to rigidstandards.1 ASTM G-28A = 50% H2SO4 + 42g/l Fe2 (SO4)3 (Boiling)2 ASTM G-28B = 23% H2SO4 + 1.2% HCl + 1% Fe2Cl3 + 1% CuCl2 (Boiling)3 GREEN DEATH = 11.5% H2SO4 + 1.2% HCl + 1% Fe2Cl3 + 1% CuCl2 (Boiling)When the alloy is specified by the UNS Number, discerning questions should be asked for assurance of HASTELLOY C-276 alloyperformance:• Does the product possess the clean, homogeneous microstructure so important for good resistance to aqueouscorrosion?• How does the product perform in tough environments (e.g., rigorous pitting conditions) for which this material ismost often specified?• Is the corrosion resistance of the welded product, in a discriminating test, up...
