Ambox has the experience and capability to produce components and parts in a wide range of Hastelloy Alloys, including Hastelloy B-2, B-3, C-4, C-22, C-276, C-2000, G-30, and Hastelloy N. While there are many types of Hastelloy nickel alloy, Hastelloy C-276 is one of the most widely used. One of the advantages of Hastelloy C-276 is that it is highly resistant to many chemical environments. Hastelloy C-276 is used in many industrial sectors, including the petrochemical and chemical industries, food processing, pulp and paper, as well as in sulfuric acid applications.
Hastelloy C-276 Nickel Alloy includes Molybdenum, Nickel, Iron, Chromium, and Tungsten and is found in highly corrosive environments. Hastelloy C-276 has outstanding corrosion resistant properties, allowing for its use in a broad range of corrosive settings and is particularly resistant to crevice corrosion and pitting. Hastelloy C-276 displays tremendous resistance to many acids, including sulfuric, acetic, phosphoric, formic, nitric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric compounds, as well as ammonium and zinc chlorides. Industry applications include oil and gas production, pollution control, refining, chemical processing, pulp and paper production, petrochemical, waste treatment and utilities.
Hastelloy alloys are used in a variety of products including acoustic and pressure sensors, ball valves, check valves, heat exchangers, flow meters, gas sampling tubes, centrifugal pumps, secondary containment chambers, process engineering probes. Hastelloy alloys can be found in lump breakers and crushers for chemical process machinery, and have also been used to manufacture crushers for the pharmaceutical industry. Other products made of Hastelloy alloy are fittings, spiral wound gaskets, pressure transmitters, and centrifuges.
Hastelloy alloys can be hot upset forged, forged, and impact extruded. Hastelloy alloys can be spun, press formed, deep-drawn, or punched. In addition, Hastelloy alloys can be welded using welding techniques such as resistance welding, gas metal-arc, shielded metal-arc, or gas tungsten-arc. There are, however, two welding methods that should not be used - oxyacetylene welding and submerged arc welding - these two are not recommended when the parts are to be utilized in a corrosive application. Another recommendation when using Hastelloy alloys is to avoid excessive heat input. Hot cracking can be reduced by applying minimum heat input combined with sufficient penetration. Oxyacetylene welding should not be used so as to avoid any possibility of carburization.
