Laurel Wire Co., Inc. cuts and straightens high-performance Hastelloy wire designed for demanding industrial environments where corrosion resistance and strength are critical. With decades of experience serving specialized markets, Laurel Wire provides dependable wire solutions made from premium alloys, including the highly respected Hastelloy C276.
What is Hastelloy?
Hastelloy is a nickel-based alloy known for its exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals, making it ideal for harsh process environments. It maintains stability in both oxidizing and reducing agents and performs well under high stress and temperature conditions. Among the various grades, Hastelloy C276 is one of the most widely used due to its versatility and chemical durability.
Laurel Wire cuts and straightens Hastelloy wire in several grades. C276 stands out for its proven results across multiple industries. Composed of nickel, molybdenum, chromium, and iron, Hastelloy C276 wire resists localized corrosion such as pitting and crevice attack, even in chloride-rich environments.
Properties of Hastelloy C276 Wire
Hastelloy C276 wire is selected for projects where other metals fail. Its ability to resist a wide range of acids—such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric—makes it a reliable material choice in highly reactive settings. It retains its mechanical strength even after prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures and chemical stressors.
Additional properties include:
- High resistance to stress corrosion cracking
- Excellent fabrication characteristics
- Resistance to both wet and dry environments
- Consistent performance under extreme pH levels
These qualities make it a dependable option for components exposed to aggressive or fluctuating process conditions.
Applications Across Key Industries
Laurel Wire cuts & straightens Hastelloy wire to a range of sectors that require performance under pressure. Industries that regularly utilize this alloy include:
- Chemical processing: For use in reaction vessels, heat exchangers, and piping systems
- Marine and offshore: For parts exposed to saltwater and chlorinated seawater
- Pollution control and power generation: For scrubbers and stack liners
- Pulp and paper: Where exposure to bleaching agents is common
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: In cleanroom and sterile processing environments
Engineers and procurement specialists rely on Hastelloy C276 wire when consistency and chemical resistance are non-negotiable.

Our facility supports both short-run and high-volume requirements. Whether the wire is needed for prototyping or full-scale production, customers can count on consistent quality and dependable service.
Hastelloy vs Other Wires
Hastelloy wire, especially Hastelloy C276, offers superior resistance to harsh chemicals, high heat, and aggressive corrosion compared to many common alloys.
- Stainless Steel performs well in general applications but may fail under strong acids or high stress. Hastelloy handles more extreme conditions.
- Inconel is ideal for high temperatures but doesn’t match Hastelloy’s chemical resistance in wet, corrosive environments.
- Monel resists saltwater corrosion but lacks durability in acidic or mixed chemical exposure.
- Copper and Brass are suited for conductivity but break down quickly in reactive environments.
For chemical processing, marine, and industrial systems under constant stress, Hastelloy wire offers more consistent, long-term performance.
