Sanicro 56 is a low carbon nickel-chrome-molybdenum alloy of type alloy C-276. It is a versatile alloy with excellent wet corrosion resistance in oxidizing and especially in reducing media. However, in oxidizing chloride containing environments alloy UNS N06022 (2.4602) is preferred where Sanicro 54 is a better matching welding consumable. Sanicro 56 is used for joining alloy UNS N10276 (2.4819) and other nickel-chrome-molybdenum alloys. It can also be used for dissimilar metal joining of nickel alloys, stainless steels and low-alloy steels. Applications: Applications for Sanicro 56 are found in cryogenics, components in pulp and paper plants such as bleaching vessels, flue gas scrubber systems, components in sour-gas service, sulphuric acid coolers, chlorine gas, hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide atmosphere. Sanicro 56 is also used in combustion-resistant components for high pressure oxygen service. Information provided by Sandvik |
