View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.TECHALLOY A-286 is recommended for applications requiring high strength and good resistance to corrosion at temperatures up to 1300 F and for lower stresses at higher temperatures. Its oxidation resistance is high for continuous service to 1500 F and intermittent service to 1800 F. It is ideal for fasteners and other cold-headed parts and it provides good spring properties at high temperatures in corrosive environments.
