Hastelloy C276 (The Universal Corrosion Resistant Alloy) – Exotic Metals LLP
Hastelloy C276 is a premier nickel-molybdenum-chromium
superalloy with an addition of tungsten, designed to offer unsurpassed corrosion
resistance in a massive range of severe environments. It is one of the few materials
capable of withstanding the corrosive effects of wet chlorine gas, hypochlorite, and
chlorine dioxide. At Exotic Metals LLP, we supply C276 for critical applications in
chemical processing and waste treatment where failure is not an option.

Hastelloy C22 (Versatile Ni-Cr-Mo-W Alloy)
Alloy C22 is a "super-alloy" designed to provide better
overall corrosion resistance than C276, C4, and Alloy 625. It excels in protecting
against pitting and crevice corrosion in oxidizing acid environments. Its high
chromium content makes it significantly more resistant to oxidizing media than the
C276 grade, making it the preferred choice for pharmaceutical and biotech reactors.
Specification

- Standards: ASTM B574, B575, B619, B622, B366, B564
Available Sizes & Product Types
- Structural: Angles, Channels, and I-Beams for corrosive structural support
- Tubing: Hydraulic and instrumentation tubing (6 mm to 25 mm OD)
- Fittings: Forged Socket Weld & Threaded fittings (2000#, 3000#, 6000#)
- Wire: 0.05 mm to 12 mm for spring and mesh applications

Hastelloy C4 (Thermal Stability Specialist)
Hastelloy C4 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with
outstanding high-temperature stability. Unlike other grades, C4 resists the
formation of grain-boundary precipitates in the weld-heat-affected zone. This makes
it exceptionally reliable for chemical process applications in the "as-welded"
state, particularly where high temperatures are encountered in acidic environments.
Specification & Sizes
- UNS: N06455 | ASTM: B574, B575, B619
- Forms: Forged Bars, Strips, Circles, and custom fabricated heat exchanger components
- Size Range: Plates up to 80 mm thick; pipes up to 12" NB

Hastelloy B2 & B3 (Hydrochloric Acid Experts)
Alloy B2 is specifically designed for handling
hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures. Alloy B3 is the next
generation, offering the same chemistry as B2 but with significantly improved
thermal stability, making fabrication (welding/forming) much easier without the risk
of cracking.
Product Range
- B2: Focus on heavy plates and large diameter forged bars for acid tanks
- B3: Focus on seamless pipes, capillary tubes, and fasteners (studs/nuts) for
chemical injection lines

Hastelloy C2000 (The Universal Alloy)
C2000 was developed to solve the "reducing vs. oxidizing"
dilemma. By adding 1.6% copper to the Ni-Cr-Mo system, this alloy provides extreme
resistance to sulfuric acid (reducing) while the high chromium provides resistance
to oxidizing media. It is the most adaptable alloy in the Exotic Metals LLP
inventory.
Product Types
- Pipes: Square and rectangular pipes for specialized structural frames
- Accessories: Gaskets, flanges, and custom-machined fittings
- Mechanical: Tensile 690 MPa; elongation 45%
Hastelloy G3 / G30 (Phosphoric Acid Specialists)
Alloy G30 is a high-chromium nickel-base alloy which
provides superior corrosion resistance to "wet process" phosphoric acid. G3 is the
predecessor, often used in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems and for handling
nuclear fuel waste.
Features & Sizes
- G30: Exceptional resistance to nitric and hydrofluoric acids
- Products: Wire mesh, strips, and wide plates (up to 2000 mm width)
Hastelloy X (High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance)
Unlike the "C" series, Hastelloy X is a high-temperature
alloy. It possesses exceptional strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures up
to 1200°C (2200°F). It is widely used in gas turbine engines, transition ducts, and
furnace rolls.
Product Types
- Aero-Industrial: Precision strips, sheets, and forged fittings for high-heat zones
- Mechanical: Excellent creep-rupture strength
