A286 is a robust iron-nickel-chromium alloy crafted for high-temperature applications. Typically, it contains around 25% nickel, 15% chromium, and 1.5% titanium, along with trace amounts of molybdenum and aluminum to boost strength and corrosion resistance. On the mechanical side, A286 showcases impressive tensile strength of up to 1,300 MPa, outstanding yield strength, and good creep resistance at elevated temperatures. Its unique blend of toughness, hardness, and oxidation resistance makes it perfect for challenging environments where long-term dimensional stability and mechanical integrity are essential.

A286 bars are available in various sizes, typically ranging from 1/8" to 12" in diameter. Common finishes include hot-rolled, cold-drawn, polished, and ground, depending on the supplier.
A286 alloy, a high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel, can be susceptible to galvanic corrosion when in contact with more electropositive metals, particularly in saline or corrosive environments. Proper isolation is recommended.
Yes, A286 bar can be welded using appropriate techniques, such as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) or gas metal arc welding (GMAW), with proper preheating and post-weld heat treatment to avoid cracking.
The A286 bar and rod find extensive use in aerospace, power generation, and chemical processing sectors, thanks to their exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and stability at high temperatures. They’re particularly well-suited for crafting turbine shafts, fasteners, valve components, and high-performance engine parts that function under extreme conditions. In industrial settings, A286 rods are utilized in heat-treating equipment, pumps, and pressure vessels. Their ability to maintain mechanical integrity even under thermal stress and corrosive conditions makes them a go-to choice for engineers looking for reliability, longevity, and consistent performance in both critical structural and high-demand applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
