A286 is a nickel-chromium austenitic precipitation-hardened stainless steel that is iron-based. The alloy is highly suitable for applications requiring high-strength corrosion resistance. A286 retains its high strength at elevated temperatures of 704°C (1300°F), and the material is produced by vacuum induction melting (VIM) or vacuum oxygen decarburisation (VOD). A286 finds typical use in lower-stress applications at high temperatures and provides good corrosion and oxidation resistance. It offers greater hardness than many nickel-based stainless steel alloys and is easily machined and formed.
