Higher silicon contents in Hastelloy C276?

Higher silicon contents in Hastelloy C276?

Higher silicon contents in Hastelloy C276?

(OP)
We just got SGS's test result from our Hastelloy C276 rods supplier and the test result shows 0.2% of silicon contents in the alloy. The standard spec says the maximum silicon contents is 0.08%.

The spec on the website also says
"The undiluted deposited chemical composition of alloy C-276 covered electrodes has 0.02 percent maximum carbon, 0.20 percent maximum silicon, 0.03 percent maximum phosphorus, and 0.015 percent maximum sulfur"

I think 0.2% of silicon content is acceptable but is this something we need to worry about?

RE: Higher silicon contents in Hastelloy C276?

I don't see an issue because I have used C-276 weld electrodes supplied by METRODE. They have an excellent product line and from what I reviewed, they have a typical range of silicon up to 0.20% by mass content. Go look up their information.
