Nickel Alloy A-286, Incoloy® A-286
Incoloy® Alloy A-286 is iron-nickel-chromium based austenitic iron based material that also includes molybdenum and titanium. The alloy is known for its good strength and oxidation resistance especially at temperatures up to 1300°F (700°C). Some of the other important properties of Alloy-A286 include:
Excellent fabrication characteristics
High mechanical properties due to age-hardenability
High ductility in notched sections
Good creep-rupture strength during extended high-temperature exposure
Can be produced by AOD reefing or vacuum induction melting
Good for moderate corrosion applications in aqueous solutions
All of these properties are thanks to Incoloy Alloy A-286’s unique chemical composition which includes:
Ni 24-27%
Cr 13.5-16%
Ti 1.90-2.30%
Fe balanced
Al .35%
V .10-.50
Si 1% max
C .8% max
Incoloy Alloy A-286 is readily fabricated by standard procedures for stainless steel and alloys. Many different industries, including aerospace, oil and gas, and automotive, utilize Incoloy Alloy A-286 in their most critical applications such as:
Automotive engines and manifold components
Offshore and oil and gas components
Turbine wheels, blade, frames, and casings
Jet engines, and afterburner parts and fasteners
