Stainless Steel A286

Stainless Steel A286 is an iron-nickel-chromium alloy designed to provide excellent performance in demanding environments. Parag Metals is a leading stainless steel A286 supplier, ensuring balance strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. Its unique composition include 24–27% nickel for toughness, 13.5–16% chromium for oxidation resistance, and controlled amounts of titanium, molybdenum, and vanadium for added strength and stability. Too little chromium reduces resistance to scaling, while a drop in nickel affects ductility. The balanced mix makes stainless steel A286 suitable for high-stress & high-temperature service.

One of the key strength of A286 stainless steel properties is its ability to maintain stability at elevated temperatures. It provides strong corrosion resistance up to 1300 °F (700 °C), making it ideal for aerospace and industrial uses. The alloy also provide high tensile strength of about 89,000 psi (620 MPa) and a yield strength of 39,900 psi (275 MPa). With 40% elongation at break and good toughness, the material perform well under stress and fatigue. It can resist deformation even under heavy loads. A286 stainless steel is a preferred choice where both heat resistance and durability are required.

A286 material properties include density of 7.92 g/cm³ and melting point at 1370–1430 °C. Heat treatment enhance strength. The alloy is solution annealed at 980 °C, oil quenched, and aged at 720 °C for 16 hours before air cooling. This process provides toughness and stability. Manufacturers can refine the alloy through AOD refining or vacuum induction melting, with options like vacuum arc or electroslag remelting for even higher purity. A286 stainless steel machinability allow it to be shaped and produced into reliable components.

The combination of toughness, strength, and corrosion resistance makes stainless steel A286 a trusted material across many industries. It perform well in high-temperature systems and even in cryogenic conditions as low as –320 °F. The alloy is utilized for aerospace parts like jet engine blades, turbine wheels, exhaust systems, and afterburner components. It is utilized in gas turbines, manifold parts, and high-strength screws where reliability is critical. Stainless steel A286 is available in wide range of forms such as sheet, plates, round bars, and tubing for different design and fabrication needs. Choose stainless steel A286 in the right form to ensure projects with strength and stability.
