| Property | Hastelloy Alloy Tubes |
| Material Composition | Hastelloy alloys are primarily composed of nickel, molybdenum, chromium, and other elements like iron, cobalt, and tungsten. Specific alloy grades like Hastelloy C-276, Hastelloy C-22, Hastelloy B-2, and Hastelloy B-3 are used for different applications. |
| Diameter Range | The diameter of Hastelloy tubes typically ranges from 6 mm to over 100 mm, depending on the application requirements. Custom diameters can be produced. |
| Wall Thickness | Wall thickness typically ranges from 0.5 mm to several millimeters, depending on pressure and structural requirements. |
| Applications | Used in critical applications such as chemical reactors, heat exchangers, desalination units, marine environments, and aerospace. Commonly employed in chemical processing, nuclear power, and gas turbines. |
| Mechanical Properties | High tensile strength, excellent toughness, and good resistance to fatigue. Hastelloy tubes maintain their mechanical properties even under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. |
| Corrosion Resistance | Exceptional resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments, including strong acids (sulfuric, hydrochloric, and phosphoric acids), seawater, and high-temperature gases. Resistant to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. |
| Thermal Resistance | Excellent performance at high temperatures, withstanding temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F) or higher, depending on the specific alloy. |
| Forming & Fabrication | Hastelloy tubes can be hot-rolled, cold-rolled, or extruded to achieve precise dimensions. They can also be welded, brazed, or joined using various techniques. |
| Heat Treatment | Often subject to heat treatment processes such as solution annealing or stress-relieving to improve their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. |
| Welding & Joining | Hastelloy tubes are weldable using techniques like TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), MIG (Metal Inert Gas), and laser welding. Welding requires careful control of heat input to maintain material properties. |
| Examples of Alloys | Hastelloy C-276, Hastelloy C-22, Hastelloy B-2, Hastelloy B-3, Hastelloy X |
| Cost | More expensive than standard carbon steel due to the high cost of nickel, molybdenum, and other alloying elements used in the composition of Hastelloy alloys. |
| Common Standards | ASTM B622, ASTM B626, ASTM B619, ASME SB-622, ASME SB-626. |
