Alloy 660 is a precipitation-hardening austenitic stainless steel known for its impressive strength at high temperatures up to 700°C. Also sold under the names, UNS S66286, and A-286 alloy, Alloy 660 gains its strength from a high degree of uniformity. It has an impressive yield strength minimum of 105,000 psi and is commonly used in high-temperature fastening and bolting materials. Other applications for Alloy 660 include:
- Jet engines
- Gas turbines
- Turbocharger components
In order to be considered a member of the Alloy 660 family, an alloy’s chemical composition must include:
- Ni 24-27.0%
- Cr 13.50-16.0%
- Ti 1.90-2.35%
- Mn 2.0% max
- Mo 1-1.5%
- Si 1.0% max
- V 0.10-0.50%
- Al 0.35% max
One thing to note about Alloy 600’s chemical composition is that due to its high nickel content for stainless steel, it is often categorized as a nickel alloy, thus the A-286 label.
