Designated as UNS N10675 or W.Nr. 2.4600, Hastelloy B3 (also known as “Alloy B3”), is a nickel-molybdenum alloy with the addition of chromium, iron and other elements. It has excellent resistance to hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures. It also has good performance in sulfuric, acetic, formic and phosphoric acids, and other non-oxidizing media. Alloy B3 has excellent resistance to pitting corrosion, stress-corrosion cracking and to knife-line and heat-affected zone attack. Compared to Hastelloy B2, Hastelloy B3 has more superior thermal stability. It’s widely used in chemical processes, vacuum furnaces, and piping components in reducing environments.
