Nickel Alloy Hastelloy C276 vs N10624
Nickel Alloy · grade comparison
Nickel Alloy Hastelloy C276 and N10624 are both nickel alloy grades. N10624 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 400 MPa (58 ksi) against 360 MPa (52.2 ksi) for Hastelloy C276, about 11% more; tensile strength follows at 890 MPa (129 ksi) vs 790 MPa (115 ksi). N10624 is harder — 210 HB against 194 HB for Hastelloy C276 — which matters for wear surfaces and threads. Hastelloy C276 is lighter (8.89 g/cm³ vs 9.22 g/cm³ for N10624) and N10624 is stiffer (216 GPa vs 205 GPa). On the shop floor, Hastelloy C276 welds better (excellent vs good) and Hastelloy C276 sits in a lower cost tier (premium, $$$) than N10624 (high, $$$$).
Hastelloy C276Choose it when weight is the constraint, or when the part sees heat.
N10624Choose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
Hastelloy C276 vs N10624: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all nickel alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.
