Specialty Stainless Steels

A-286

A-286 is an iron-base superalloy used when a stainless-like alloy needs substantially higher strength at temperature. It is widely specified for aerospace fasteners, engine hardware, and structural parts that operate in the moderate high-temperature range. EQI supplies A-286 for high-strength precision components.

  • UNS S66286
  • Iron-base superalloy / precipitation-hardening stainless
  • Also known as: A286
