Home > A286 Foil
Elvis Nickel Alloys, located in Houston, USA, is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch A286 Foil, specifically designed for high-temperature and high-stress applications that demand outstanding strength and oxidation resistance. A286 is an iron-nickel-chromium austenitic alloy, enhanced with molybdenum and titanium, and is celebrated for its remarkable performance at temperatures reaching up to 1300°F (700°C). This foil is perfect for the aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors, where corrosion resistance and mechanical stability are essential. A286 Foil is produced to comply with rigorous standards like AMS 5525, ASTM A453, and UNS S66286, guaranteeing durability and consistent metallurgical quality.
A286 Foil consists of 25%–28% iron, 13%–16% nickel, 13%–15% chromium, 1%–1.5% molybdenum, up to 2.1% titanium, along with trace amounts of vanadium, aluminum, and boron. This distinctive combination provides it with impressive tensile strength (~130 ksi), yield strength (~85 ksi), and excellent creep resistance at high temperatures. The alloy remains non-magnetic even after cold working and retains good ductility and formability. Its strong resistance to oxidation, scaling, and aqueous corrosion makes it an ideal choice for precision foil applications in demanding thermal and mechanical environments.
