Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tubes

High-Performance Seamless and Welded Tubes for Extreme Corrosive Environments, Chemical Processing, and Sour Gas Service

Premium Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tubes for Hydrochloric Acid, Wet Chlorine, Flue Gas Desulfurization, and Extreme Sour Service Applications

Womic Steel manufactures premium Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tubes, including Seamless and Welded options. Our nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten superalloy tubes provide exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking in the most aggressive chemical environments, including wet chlorine, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and mixed acids. With a unique combination of high nickel (≥57%), chromium (14.5-16.5%), molybdenum (15-17%), and tungsten (3-4.5%), Hastelloy C276 tubes offer the highest localized corrosion resistance among commercial superalloys (PRE ≥ 65). They are the ideal choice for chemical processing reactors, flue gas desulfurization systems, pharmaceutical equipment, sour gas handling, waste incineration, and extreme corrosive service where conventional materials fail rapidly.

Key Features of Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tubes

Exceptional Resistance to Reducing and Oxidizing Acids: High molybdenum (15-17%) and chromium (14.5-16.5%) content provide outstanding resistance to both reducing acids (hydrochloric, sulfuric) and oxidizing acids (nitric, chromic), as well as mixed acids.

Superior Pitting and Crevice Corrosion Resistance: High molybdenum and tungsten (3-4.5%) content provide exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-containing environments, with PRE (Pitting Resistance Equivalent) ≥ 65.

Outstanding Resistance to Wet Chlorine and Hypochlorite: Hastelloy C276 is the premier material for handling wet chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide, and hypochlorite solutions, where most other alloys fail rapidly.

Excellent Resistance to Sour Service (H₂S): Fully compliant with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 for sour service applications with the highest allowable H₂S partial pressures and lowest pH values.

Exceptional Resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking: High nickel content (≥57%) provides outstanding resistance to chloride-induced SCC, sulfide-induced SSCC, and polythionic acid SCC.

Low Carbon Content – No Sensitization: Low carbon content (≤0.010%) prevents carbide precipitation and eliminates sensitization, ensuring excellent weldability without post-weld heat treatment.

Surface Quality: Smooth internal and external surfaces available in annealed, pickled, or polished conditions for critical chemical service applications.

Mechanical Strength: High tensile and yield strength suitable for high-pressure chemical injection lines and critical process equipment.

Excellent Weldability: Offers excellent weldability with matching filler metals (ERNiCrMo-4). No preheat or post-weld heat treatment required.

International Certification: Tubes can be certified by ABS, BV, DNV, LR, GL, RINA, CCS, KR, and NK, and comply with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156NORSOK M-650, and ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code standards.

Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tube – Heat Treatment Condition:

Hastelloy C276 tubes are solution annealed at 1120–1175°C followed by water quenching. This heat treatment:

1. Dissolves precipitated carbides and intermetallic phases.

2. Relieves internal stresses from cold drawing or cold pilgering.

3. Restores optimum corrosion resistance and ductility.

4. Ensures the alloy's exceptional resistance to corrosive attack.

5. Critical Note: Hastelloy C276 must be water quenched after solution annealing. Air cooling may result in precipitation of intermetallic phases (mu phase, P phase) that can reduce corrosion resistance. The low carbon content (≤0.010%) ensures that sensitization is not a concern.


Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tube – Delivery Condition:

Tubes are normally supplied in annealed and pickled condition, providing a clean, smooth surface and exceptional corrosion resistance. Upon request, polished finishes can be provided to meet specific chemical processing requirements.

Manufacturing Process of Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tube (Seamless)

Womic Steel adopts advanced production technology to ensure each Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tube meets exact specifications and flawless surface quality.

Raw Material Selection: High-quality Hastelloy C276 billets from certified premium mills (Haynes International, Special Metals, VDM Metals) with certified chemical composition and traceability. Material is VIM-VAR (Vacuum Induction Melted – Vacuum Arc Remelted) for optimal cleanliness.

Heating and Piercing: Billets heated to a carefully controlled temperature range (1150–1200°C) and pierced using a rotary piercing mill to form hollow shells.

Hot Rolling: Shells elongated and rolled to desired intermediate size with strict temperature control. High alloy content requires very careful reduction rates.

Cold Drawing / Cold Pilgering: Tubes refined to precise dimensions and improved surface finish. Multiple passes with intermediate annealing required due to very high work hardening rate.

Solution Annealing: Heat treatment at 1120–1175°C followed by immediate water quenching to dissolve carbides and restore properties.

Pickling & Passivation: Removal of oxides using specialized pickling acids optimized for high-molybdenum nickel alloys; thorough rinsing required.

Straightening and Dimensional Calibration: Ensures consistent roundness and wall uniformity.

Final Inspection & Marking: Each tube tested, marked with grade, heat number, standard, and tube dimensions before packing.

This process guarantees a smooth internal bore, high structural integrity, and exceptional corrosion resistance across all batches of Womic Steel’s Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tubes.

Manufacturing Process of Hastelloy C276 Superalloy Steel Tube (Welded)

Womic Steel utilizes state-of-the-art manufacturing technology to ensure every Hastelloy C276 Welded Superalloy Steel Tube meets precise specifications and delivers excellent surface quality and performance.

Raw Material Selection: High-quality Hastelloy C276 strips/coils from certified premium mills with full traceability.

Slitting & Uncoiling: The steel coil is slit to the required width and uncoiled for feeding into the forming mill.

Forming & Welding: The strip is progressively formed into a cylindrical shape and the edges are welded together using advanced TIG or Plasma welding techniques with matching filler metal (ERNiCrMo-4) to create a solid weld seam.

Weld Seam Treatment: The external weld bead is removed to achieve a smooth surface, and the internal bead may be controlled or treated for bore cleanliness.

Solution Annealing: A full heat treatment process at 1120–1175°C followed by immediate water quenching is applied to dissolve carbides, restore corrosion resistance, and relieve stresses from welding and forming.

Sizing & Calibration: The tube is passed through a sizing mill to achieve the final precise outer diameter and roundness.

Straightening: The tube is straightened to ensure optimal linearity.

Pickling & Passivation: Chemical treatment removes scale and impurities, while promoting the formation of a protective passive oxide layer on the surface, including the weld zone.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) : The weld seam is inspected using methods like Eddy Current or Ultrasonic Testing to ensure integrity and quality.

Final Inspection & Marking: Each tube undergoes dimensional checks, visual inspection, and is marked with grade, heat number, and relevant standards before packaging.

This controlled process guarantees a consistent weld seam, excellent dimensional accuracy, and superior corrosion resistance for every batch of Womic Steel’s Hastelloy C276 Welded Superalloy Steel Tubes.
