Haynes® 556 Sheets (UNS R30556, ASTM B435) are an iron-nickel-chromium-cobalt alloy built for elevated-temperature service where sulfidizing, carburizing and chlorine-bearing atmospheres would attack a conventional stainless or nickel sheet. Waste incineration grates, chemical process fixtures and high-temperature process equipment are the typical destination for this grade in sheet form.
Table of Contents
556 combines effective resistance to sulfidizing, carburizing and chlorine-bearing environments with good strength and oxidation resistance at high temperature - a combination that lets it stand in for both a corrosion-resistant and a heat-resistant grade in the same application, where a plant might otherwise need to choose between the two.
Aurico Alloys LLP supplies Haynes® 556 sheets to ASTM B435 and AMS 5874, with full material test certificates to EN 10204 3.1, for chemical processing, waste-to-energy and general high-temperature industrial use.
High-quality Haynes® 556 Sheets ready for industrial use.

Applications
- Chemical Processing: Process equipment and fixtures exposed to sulfidizing, carburizing or chlorine-bearing atmospheres at high temperature.
- Waste-to-Energy: Incinerator grates and components in mixed corrosive/high-temperature service.
- General High-Temperature: Furnace and process fixtures where both corrosion and oxidation resistance are needed from a single grade.
