Oxidation Resistance

HAYNES® 244® alloy exhibits very good oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1400°F (760°C), and should not require protective coatings for continuous or intermittent service at these temperatures. The alloy is not specifically designed for use at higher temperatures, but can tolerate short-term exposures.
