Hastelloy X: Excellent Choice for High Temperature Environments

Hastelloy X nickel alloy is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with added cobalt and tungsten. Hastelloy X alloy exhibits excellent oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1200°C and can also be used in neutral and reducing atmospheres. In addition, Hastelloy X alloy is resistant to carbonization and nitriding.

The characteristics of Hastelloy X nickel alloy are as follows:

1) Excellent oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1200°C;
2) Good strength at high temperatures;
3) Has good formability and weldability;
4) Good resistance to stress corrosion cracking.

Hastelloy However, pulsed arc welding is the preferred welding method. Before welding, the material needs to be solution treated to remove the oxide layer, oil stains and various traces. An area approximately 25 mm wide on both sides of the weld needs to be polished to a bright metal surface. Welding uses low heat input and interlayer temperature does not exceed 100°C. Hastelloy X does not require pre-weld and post-weld heat treatments.

The chemical composition of Hastelloy X nickel alloy is as follows:

The application areas of Hastelloy X nickel alloy are as follows:

1) Industrial and aviation steam turbines (combustor, rectifier, structural cover);
2) Industrial furnace components, support rollers, grids, strips and radiant tubes;
3) Spiral tubes in petrochemical furnaces;
4) High-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor.

Hastelloy X nickel alloy is widely used in various high-temperature environments due to its high-temperature corrosion properties and excellent high-temperature strength in various atmospheres. I hope this article will help you understand Hastelloy X nickel alloy.
