Alloy A-286 660 Class D Round Bars
A286 alloy provides high strength up to a temperature of 1300° F and corrosion resistance up to a constant temperature of 1500° F or an intermittent temperature of 1800° F. A286, which is a ductile, non-magnetic, iron-based alloy, can reach its highest strength level through solution heat treating and age hardening. Because it is a higher strength metal, greater pressure is required when forming. It is best to weld and form A286 in the solution treated condition. Before machining A286, it is best to solution treat and cold working the material first.
A286 alloy is a heat and corrosion resistant austenitic ironbase material which can be age hardened to a high strength level. The alloy is also used for low temperature applications requiring a ductile, non-magnetic high strength material at temperatures ranging from above room temperature down to at least -320°F (-196°C). The alloy may be used for moderate corrosion applications in aqueous solutions. Type A286 alloy can be produced by AOD refining or vacuum induction melting. Vacuum arc or electroslag remelting procedures may be used to further refine the material. Type A286 alloy is available in plate, sheet and strip.
A286 is an iron-nickel-chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum and titanium. A 286 is one of the most popular high temperature alloys. As one of the austenitic alloys it maintains good strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1300°F. Due to it’s high strength and excellent fabrication characteristics A286 is used in various components of aircraft and industrial gas turbines. A286 is also widely used in the offshore oil and gas industry where the components are subject to high levels of heat and stress.
