Hastelloy C276 (also known as Inconel 276 or 2.4819) bolts are used in extreme environments due to their outstanding corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Some key applications include:
1. Chemical Processing
- Used in reactors, heat exchangers, piping, and fasteners in highly corrosive environments, such as those with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and chlorine-based solutions.
2. Marine and Offshore Industries
- Ideal for seawater applications, including desalination plants, shipbuilding, and offshore oil rigs where saltwater corrosion is a concern.
3. Aerospace and Aviation
- Employed in engine components, exhaust systems, and structural fasteners that must withstand high temperatures and aggressive chemicals.
4. Power Generation
- Found in nuclear and thermal power plants for heat exchangers, turbines, and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems.
5. Pulp and Paper Industry
- Used in digesters, bleach plants, and fasteners exposed to highly acidic and oxidizing environments.
6. Pharmaceutical and Food Processing
- Suitable for clean processing environments due to its resistance to contamination and corrosion in sterilization systems.
7. Waste Treatment Facilities
- Applied in incinerators, scrubbers, and chemical waste treatment plants where strong acids and chlorides are present.
