A286 Stainless Steel Bar
High-strength corrosion resistance.
A286 stainless steel bar benefits from easy machinability and formability.
A286 is an iron-based nickel-chromium austenitic precipitation-hardened stainless steel alloy. The alloy is highly suitable for applications requiring high-strength corrosion resistance. A286 retains its high strength at elevated temperatures of 704°C (1300°F). The material is produced by vacuum induction melting (VIM) or vacuum oxygen decarburisation (VOD). The alloy is then remelted using vacuum arc or electroslag remelting processes to complete the production cycle. A286 finds typical use in lower-stress applications at high temperatures and provides good corrosion and oxidation resistance.
Improved Hardness
A286 is easily machined and formed and offers greater hardness than many nickel-based stainless steel alloys. It is used in jet engine parts, thrust nozzles, and gas turbine components.
