Hastelloy 276 in seawater

[rmetzger]

We're looking at a pressure transducer made from Hastelloy 276 as part of a control system in a seawater environment and I was looking for any information in regards to this material's robustness. We will be both using it a sealing surface (o-ring) as well as the diaphram on the transducer.

thanks

This will be fine in this service.
There is corrosion data in the C-276 data sheet on the Haynes web site.

as a general rule it's a material that is suitable for a seawater service.. it depends also on the operating temperature.
