MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF HASTELLOY C276 FOIL
Hastelloy C276 is a high-performance nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties Hastelloy C276 foil is a thin, flexible sheet of the alloy that is used in a variety of industries, including chemical processing, aerospace, and oil and gas. The manufacturing process of Hastelloy C276 foil involves several steps, including melting, casting, hot rolling, annealing, cold rolling, and finishing.
The first step in the manufacturing process is melting the raw materials. Hastelloy C276 is made from a blend of nickel, molybdenum, chromium, and other elements, which are melted together in a vacuum induction furnace. The furnace creates a vacuum to prevent the metal from reacting with the atmosphere, which could cause impurities in the final product.

Once the metal is melted, it is cast into rectangular blocks using a continuous casting process. The blocks are then cooled and prepared for hot rolling. Hot rolling is a process in which the blocks are heated to a high temperature and then rolled into thin sheets or foils. The hot rolling process reduces the thickness of the metal while increasing its length.
The finished Hastelloy C276 foil is then cut to size, cleaned, and packaged for shipping. The quality of the raw materials, the control of the manufacturing process, and the quality of the final product are critical to producing a highquality Hastelloy C276 foil.
