Hastelloy C-276 Round Bar
Solid rounds from 6 to 340 mm are supplied for pump shafts, valve stems, and machined acid-plant parts.
Request Availability →Proven nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten bar and rod for severe corrosion, chloride, and sour-service duty where standard alloys fail.
We print the ultra-low carbon and silicon results that protect weld zones on every EN 10204 3.1 certificate. Therefore, your welders can verify the chemistry before they start.
We record the anneal and water-quench route used for your bar on the release document. In addition, the lot number ties every test back to its heat.
Because NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 orders need proof, we ship them with hardness data keyed to each heat number.
Hastelloy C-276 (UNS N10276, W.Nr. 2.4819) is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy with ultra-low carbon. Because its chemistry is balanced, it resists oxidizing and reducing acids, chloride pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking.
C-276 bar and rod are solution-annealed and water-quenched to ASTM B574 and ASME SB574, then finished as hot-rolled, drawn, or ground stock. Next, round, hex, forged, and machined sections are cut to order, and each lot ships with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate. Where service needs higher strength at temperature than C-276 provides, our Inconel 625 bar and rod extends the nickel-alloy range.
Hastelloy C-276 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy with ultra-low carbon that resists oxidizing and reducing acids, chloride pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking. Southerly Alloy supplies UNS N10276 bar and rod to ASTM B574 in solution-annealed, hot-finished, and cold-drawn conditions, with custom sizes, surface finishes, and EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates. Because of this, chemical plants, pollution-control systems, and sour-service oil and gas projects typically specify this bar.
For example, chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten together handle nitric, sulfuric, hydrochloric, and mixed-acid streams.
Because of its high molybdenum content, the alloy resists localised attack in seawater and chloride process streams.
In addition, the nickel-rich matrix stays immune to chloride-induced SCC across the working range.
Because carbon and silicon stay ultra-low, welded joints remain corrosion-resistant without post-weld heat treatment.
After hot working and forming, a water-quenched anneal restores full corrosion resistance.
Therefore, C-276 meets NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 within the applicable hardness limits for H2S duty.
Over five decades of service have made it the default choice where failure is not an option.
As a result, each bar leaves with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate that names its heat number.
Your C-276 enquiry is reviewed against the required chemistry before production, with carbon and silicon controlled to the specified limits. Heat-specific chemistry records are provided with the material certificate.
We check carbon, silicon, and molybdenum targets against your specification before we pour the heat.
We compile certificates, hardness records, and PMI data per heat, and they follow the bar to site.
Because one test bar and a full order run through the same solution-annealed route, you see the result before the container.
Our mill metallurgists, who set the anneal, answer your acid, chloride, and sour-service questions directly.
We begin each C-276 bar as a vacuum-refined melt and hold carbon and silicon low to protect weld zones. Next, we solution-anneal and water-quench each heat, then finish to the ordered condition. Finally, we file chemistry and test data against the heat number through release.
We weigh nickel, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and iron into the UNS N10276 window before melting.
We refine the charge under vacuum or argon to keep carbon, silicon, and gas within limits.
We forge and roll the ingots down to bar section, and this breaks the cast structure as the size reduces.
We heat the bar above 1100 °C and rapidly water-quench it to dissolve precipitates and restore corrosion resistance.
We draw, peel, or centreless-grind the bars to the ordered diameter, tolerance, and surface.
We straighten and cut the bars to length, and we agree the machining allowance for further turning.
We remove scale by pickling or grinding so the surface stays clean for acid and seawater duty.
We check chemistry, tensile, hardness, and dimensions against the ordered condition before release.
We produce C-276 bar in stock and made-to-order diameters, fixing the solution-annealed condition before cutting. The numbers below show the melting, annealing, and test capacity behind that promise. In addition, acid-duty and sour-service work shares the same qualified route.
Integrated melting, annealing, and finishing lines run under one roof.
This equipment handles hot working, solution annealing, drawing, and grinding.
We output this much nickel-corrosion-alloy bar across stock and order-specific diameters each month.
These metallurgists review your chloride and sour-service specifications with you.
C-276 bar can be supplied for sour-service applications in accordance with NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156, with heat-specific hardness and chemical composition records available when required by the order.
No C-276 bar leaves the works until we prove the ordered ASTM B574 requirements on the heat. First, we check carbon and silicon by spectrometer against the N10276 window. Then we record tensile, hardness, and intergranular results where your specification asks for them.
We measure carbon, silicon, and molybdenum per heat and check them against the ASTM B574 limits.
We record tensile and hardness results for the condition actually shipped, not a generic value.
We measure diameter, straightness, and finish to the B574 tolerance class, with PMI where specified.
Because certificates carry the heat number, you can trace any bar to its test results at incoming inspection.
Round bar and rod carry most C-276 enquiries, and hex, square, flat, and forged sections cover corrosion-plant work. In addition, we price every form for its own condition, tolerance, and finish, and we set the machining allowance with the order.
Solid rounds from 6 to 340 mm are supplied for pump shafts, valve stems, and machined acid-plant parts.
Request Availability →In addition, we draw smaller stock with controlled straightness for fasteners and instrument fittings.
Request Availability →We cold-draw it to a bright finish with tight diameter control for automatic lathes and CNC turning.
Request Availability →It gives higher yield from the as-drawn condition, and we stress-relieve it where straightness matters.
Request Availability →We cut hexagonal sections across flats for bolting and multi-flat valve components.
Request Availability →In addition, we cut square sections to width and length for supports and fabricated frames.
Request Availability →We roll rectangular sections to specified thickness and width for scrubber and duct hardware.
Request Availability →Because they need a controlled wrought structure, larger diameters and shaped sections are forged for heavy valve bodies.
Request Availability →We hold diameter and straightness to close limits for spindle, pin, and plunger work.
Request Availability →Engineers specify C-276 bar where one alloy must survive oxidizing and reducing attack in the same stream. Most of this bar goes to chemical plants, sour-service oil and gas, and pollution control. Therefore, tell us the medium, concentration, and temperature when you request a quote.
Discuss Your Application →For example, we supply pump shafts, valve stems, and agitator shafts for HCl production, storage, and handling.
In addition, we supply reactor internals, mixer shafts, and fittings across wide acid concentrations.
Because they resist pitting, we supply tubesheet, baffle, and support parts for seawater-cooled exchangers.
Wellhead, tree, and valve components are supplied for H2S-bearing duty within NACE limits.
In FGD systems, we supply scrubber spray headers, dampers, and duct supports for aggressive environments.
Because the duty is aggressive, we supply hardware for acidic combustion products and wastewater streams.
We supply agitator shafts and baffle supports where metallic contamination must stay low.
In pulp and paper, we supply digester fittings, bleach-plant hardware, and blow-line parts for chlorine-bearing service.
Detailed technical information including chemical composition, mechanical properties, standards and available dimensions.
The limits below follow ASTM B574 for UNS N10276 bar and rod, with nickel as the balance of the melt. Molybdenum and tungsten set the reducing-acid and localised-corrosion resistance; in contrast, chromium covers oxidizing media and ultra-low carbon protects the weld zones. Therefore, the mill test certificate governs final acceptance.
| Element | Content |
|---|---|
| Nickel (Ni) | 57.0% min. (balance) |
| Chromium (Cr) | 14.5–16.5% |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 15.0–17.0% |
| Tungsten (W) | 3.0–4.5% |
| Iron (Fe) | 4.0–7.0% |
| Cobalt (Co) | 2.5% max. |
| Manganese (Mn) | 1.0% max. |
| Vanadium (V) | 0.35% max. |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.08% max. |

| Sulfur (S) | 0.030% max. |
Values below separate the ASTM B574 minimums from results typically measured on solution-annealed bar. The standard sets one condition for rod and bar; therefore, we agree cold-drawn or high-strength requirements at quotation. Confirm the ordered condition with your enquiry.
| Condition | Tensile Strength | Yield Strength (0.2%) | Elongation | Hardness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annealed — ASTM B574 minimum | ≥100 ksi (690 MPa) | ≥41 ksi (283 MPa) | 40% | 100 HRB max. |
| Annealed bar — typical values | 115 ksi (790 MPa) | 55 ksi (380 MPa) | 50% | Approx. 90 HRB |
C-276 is not age-hardenable, so any strength above the annealed minimum comes from cold work. Cold-drawn bar is quoted to its as-drawn condition when higher yield is needed.
Typical room-temperature values below support design work rather than acceptance testing. Because C-276 stays practically non-magnetic across its working range, it suits instrument and magnetically sensitive assemblies.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Density | Approx. 8.89 g/cm³ |
| Melting range | Approx. 1325–1370 °C |
| Modulus of elasticity | Approx. 205 GPa |
| Thermal conductivity at 20 °C | Approx. 10.2 W/m·K |
| Specific heat at 20 °C | Approx. 427 J/kg·K |
| Electrical resistivity at 20 °C | Approx. 1.30 µΩ·m |
| Thermal expansion, 20–100 °C | Approx. 11.2 µm/m·K |
| Magnetic behaviour | Practically non-magnetic at ambient temperature |

One coordinator keeps your C-276 order moving from enquiry to shipment. Because we fix the solution-anneal route before we cut the bar, our technical team also reviews acid or sour duty early.
Share the medium, its concentration and temperature, plus the diameter, length, and quantity.
Next, we agree the annealed, hot-finished, or cold-drawn condition with your machining plan.
After that, a single reply returns the price, lead time, and document list.
You approve the dimensions, inspection level, and delivery terms in writing before we begin cutting.
We then work, solution-anneal, and test your bar to the ordered condition.
Finally, the bar ships with its certificates and export documents, and we confirm the delivery terms with you.
