C276

UNS N10276 / W.Nr 2.4819

COMMON TRADE NAMES: SMC276®, INCONEL® Alloy C-276, Hastelloy® C-276

C276 Applicable EnvironmentsC276 (UNS N10276) is a cold hardened nickel-based alloy intended for the most extreme well conditions up to 450°F.

In addition to its exceptional corrosion resistance under the most severe conditions, higher strengths may be achieved with C276 than other nickel alloys. Therefore, the alloy is commonly used for downhole tubular components, packers, and other subsurface equipment under the most extreme environmental conditions found in high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) wells, Saltwater Injection wells, and Acid Gas Injection (AGI) wells. However, all environmental factors, including H2S, CO2 , temperature, pH, and chloride concentration, should be considered before final material selection.

The alloy is classified in MR0175/ISO15156 as a type 4e alloy, with no restrictions to a partial pressure of H2S below 400°F and resistant to 1000 psi H2S at 450°F.

Applications in Upstream Oil & Gas

  • Severely corrosive environments containing CO2 , H2S, S0 (elemental sulfur), and chlorides
  • Tubing
  • Casing
