importHASTELLOY C-22 (UNS N06022)Component performance

Shanghai Longji Metal-Overview

HASTELLOY® C-22® alloy (UNS N06022) is one of the well-known and well-proven nickel-chromium-molybdenum materials, the chief attributes of which are resistance to both oxidizing and non-oxidizing chemicals, and protection from pitting, crevice attack, and stress corrosion cracking. Its high chromium content provides much higher resistance to oxidizing media than the family standard, C-276 alloy, and imparts exceptional resistance to chloride-induced pitting, an insidious and unpredictable form of attack, to which the stainless steels are prone.

Like other nickel alloys, HASTELLOY® C-22® alloy is very ductile, exhibits excellent weldability, and is easily fabricated into industrial components. It is available in the form of plates, sheets, strips, billets, bars, wires, pipes, tubes, and covered electrodes. Typical chemical process industry (CPI) applications include reactors, heat exchangers, and columns.

Comparative 0.1 mm/y Line Plots

To compare the performance of HASTELLOY® C-22® alloy with that of other materials, it is useful to plot the 0.1 mm/y lines. In the following graphs, the lines for C-22® alloy are compared with those of two popular, austenitic stainless steels (316L and 254SMO), and a lower-molybdenum nickel alloy (625), in hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. The tests in hydrochloric acid were limited to a concentration of 20% (the azeotrope). At hydrochloric acid concentrations above about 5%, C-22® alloy provides a quantum improvement over the stainless steels, and offers much greater resistance hydrochloric acid than 625 alloy in the concentration range 8 to 20%.
