Hastelloy C276 (also known as Inconel 276 or 2.4819) nuts are widely used in industries requiring exceptional corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength.
Here are their primary applications:
1. Chemical Processing Industry
- Used in reactors, heat exchangers, and piping systems handling highly corrosive chemicals like hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and chlorine.
- Ideal for fastening components in aggressive chemical environments.
2. Marine and Offshore Industry
- Resistant to seawater and brine, making them suitable for offshore platforms, shipbuilding, and underwater applications.
- Used in desalination plants and marine heat exchangers.
3. Aerospace Industry
- Employed in aircraft exhaust systems, jet engines, and other high-temperature areas where oxidation and corrosion resistance are crucial.
4. Power Plants
- Found in nuclear power plants, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems, and geothermal energy plants due to their resistance to sulfur compounds and acidic gases.
5. Pulp and Paper Industry
- Used in bleaching equipment and digesters where strong acids and chlorine compounds are present.
6. Pharmaceutical & Food Processing
- Suitable for environments where contamination must be avoided and where aggressive cleaning chemicals are used.
7. Waste Treatment Facilities
- Applied in waste incineration plants and sewage treatment facilities due to their ability to withstand harsh and corrosive waste environments.
