Hastelloy® C-276 provides a solution to this problem.

In the 1960s, a breakthrough was made in Hastelloy corrosion resistant alloys. Previously, the biggest obstacle to the development of Hastelloy alloy is that the alloy needs solution treatment after welding, otherwise the corrosion resistance of the welding heat affected zone will be greatly decreased, and welding is a necessary processing process in the production of the vast majority of equipment. Hastelloy® C-276 provides a solution to this problem. Due to the emergence of argon-oxygen decarbonization remelting and refining process, the alloy can achieve very low carbon silicon content, which ensures that it can still have the same corrosion resistance as the base material in the welding area. Most modern corrosion resistant alloys use this technology to ensure a very low carbon silicon content.
