Hastelloy Alloy Family Summary | B Series | C Series | G Series

    Hastelloy Alloy is a family of superalloys. It provides a reliable solution for extreme needs. Standard stainless steel pipes and stainless steel pipe fittings often lacks the needed endurance. It also struggles with corrosion. This is where Hastelloy Alloy offers a superior solution.

    Hastelloy Alloy : A Corrosion-Resistant Champion

    Hastelloy Alloy is a nickel-based superalloy. It contains a high proportion of nickel, and also contains chromium and molybdenum. These elements give it excellent corrosion resistance. This is especially true in aggressive media. The family includes three main series. They are the B, C, and G series. Each is designed for specific environments. 

    Key Advantages of Hastelloy Alloy

    Hastelloy Alloy provides high resistance. It battles strong acids and resists caustics.

    It maintains its strength , performs reliably at elevated temperatures , resists softening under heat.

    This alloy is easy to form. It can be readily welded , ensures strong, reliable joints for piping systems.

    This alloy is very versatile. It’s used in chemical processing and electronics.

    Hastelloy Alloy in Piping Systems

    • Chemical Processing: Strong acid treatment provides resistance to stress corrosion cracking, significantly extending equipment lifespan.
    • Pollution Control: Flue gas desulfurization systems withstand highly corrosive acidic condensates.
    • Oil & Gas Industry: Suitable for sulfur-containing gas environments, withstanding harsh operating conditions.
    • Aerospace: Engine components and exhaust systems withstand extreme temperatures and stresses.
    • Pipeline Systems: Critical stainless steel fittings require exceptional corrosion resistance to ensure system integrity.

    Sourcing and Fabricating Hastelloy Alloy

    A complete Material Test Report (MTR) is required. It verifies the precise composition of the alloy and ensures its performance.

    Work with specialized suppliers of stainless steel pipe and fittings. They understand these alloy steels and can ensure proper fabrication and quality control,and are ISO 9001 and CE-PED certified.

    This alloy requires specific procedures. Proper welding technique ensures the integrity of the weld.

    It is expensive, so it is important to assess whether the product has a longer service life. This can justify its higher initial cost.
