What is A286 CRES?

Cres A286 alloy is known for its good strength and oxidation resistance especially at temperatures up to 1300°F (700°C). A286 is an age-hardenable iron-nickel-chromium alloy that is one of the most popular and widely used of high temperature alloys.

What kind of material is A286?

Type A286 Stainless Steel is an iron base superalloy useful for applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance up to 1300 °F (704 °C) and for lower stress applications at higher temperatures.

How hard is A286?

In general, the high temperature alloys are more difficult to machine than stainless steels. However, the iron-base alloy group, of which alloy A286 is a member, is easier to machine than the nickel-based precipitation-hardening grades such as alloy 718 or cobalt-bearing grades such as alloy 41.

Is A286 stainless steel magnetic?

Stainless Steel A286 is a precipitation-hardenable super-alloy based on iron. The material finds use in applications requiring high strength, paired with corrosion resistance up to 1300 °F (700 °C)….Physical Properties.

Is A286 corrosion resistant?

CORROSION AND OXIDATION RESISTANCE ATI A286™ alloy content is similar in chromium, nickel, and molybdenum to some of the austenitic stainless steels. Consequently, ATI A286™ alloy possesses a level of aqueous corrosion resistance comparable to that of the austenitic stainless steels.

Is A286 an Inconel?

Inconel Alloy A286 Bar (660A) (UNS S66286) Inconel 286 (660A) is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy designed to resist a wide range of severely corrosive environments, pitting and crevice corrosion.

Is 316 stainless steel corrosion-resistant?

316 stainless steel is a popular alloy that possesses molybdenum. Unlike 304 steel, the most common form of stainless steel, it possesses enhanced resistance to corrosion from chloride and other acids.

Which stainless steels are austenitic?

The most common austenitic stainless steel and most common of all stainless steel is Type 304, also known as 18/8 or A2. Type 304 is extensively used in such items as, cookware, cutlery, and kitchen equipment. Type 316 is the next most common austenitic stainless steel.

What is Inconel made out of?

Composition. Inconel alloys vary widely in their compositions, but all are predominantly nickel, with chromium as the second element.
