A286 PER AMS 5853
A286 per AMS 5853 is a corrosion and heat-resistant stainless steel material in bar and wire form. The material is covered by a specification that includes consumable electrode-melted, solution-treated, and work-strengthened products for high-temperature strength.
A286 per AMS 5853 is cold reduced by 15 to 17%. This increases the strength of the alloy. The alloy attains a tensile strength of 160 ksi (1103 MPa) and performs reliably up to 1000°F (540°C). The alloy also resists oxidation up to 1200°F (650°C).
A286 per AMS 5853 has a chemical composition consisting of 15% chromium, 25.5% nickel, 1.2% molybdenum, and titanium. The alloy is an austenitic iron-nickel-chromium alloy with good fabrication properties and high strength.
Product Forms & Size Range of AMS 5853
A286 Round Bar per AMS 5853 diameters range from 0.1025″ to 14.00″ diameter.
A286 flat bar comes in a variety of thicknesses and widths. For more information please request a quote.
Is A286 a Stainless Steel?
Some companies list A286 under Nickel and some companies list A286 under Stainless Steel. Ultimately, It is an iron-nickel-chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum and titanium making it a super alloy that is in between those categories. As one of the austenitic alloys it maintains good strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1300ºF. Due to its high strength and excellent fabrication characteristics it performs like a Nickel alloy but has a similar density to that of Stainless Steel. Because of these characteristics, A286 is one of the most popular high temperature alloys.
Applications of A286 Stainless Steel
- Aircraft Turbines
- Afterburner
- Fuel Nozzles
- Fasteners
- Industrial Gas Turbines
- Offshore Oil and Gas Industry
