Hastelloy B2
Designated as UNS N10665 or W.Nr. 2.4617, Hastelloy B2 (also known as “Alloy B2”), is a solid solution strengthened nickel-molybdenum alloy with low addition of carbon, silicon & iron. It has good resistance to hydrogen chloride, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acids and has excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking and pitting corrosion at elevated temperatures. The significantly low carbon content makes Hastelloy B2 less susceptible to decreased corrosion resistance in the weld zone, in the as-welded condition. It can be used in reducing chemical environments and chemical processing industry. However, Hastelloy B2 should not be used at temperatures between 1000°F and 1600°F nor be used in oxidizing media.
