Incoloy A-286 Mesh
Key Features:
- High tensile & creep resistance (up to 1300°F / 704°C)
- Excellent oxidation & corrosion resistance (better than 304/316 stainless steel)
- Age-hardenable (can be heat-treated for enhanced strength)
- Good weldability & fabricability (suitable for complex mesh structures)
- Resists sulfidation and carburization in harsh environments
Product Description:
Incoloy A286 mesh is made of a precipitation-hardening iron-nickel-chromium superalloy (UNS S66286) known for its high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent performance in extreme temperatures. It is widely used in aerospace, gas turbines, and high-stress industrial applications where standard stainless steels fail.
