Hastelloy alloys are utilized in a variety of applications, including pressure vessels, nuclear reactors, chemical reactors, and chemical industry pipelines and valves. Hastelloy alloy B-3 belongs to the nickel-molybdenum family of Hastelloy alloys. It is used because of its resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures. Applications for Hastelloy B-3 alloy include heat exchangers, boiler tubes, and piping systems for industrial processes. This alloy is also used in catalytic converters due to its ability to with stand high temperatures while still being resistant to oxidation. Hastelloy B-3 alloy contains 8% molybdenum and 3.5% carbon. These two elements are responsible for the alloy's strength and resistance to corrosion at high temperatures. The remaining percentage is made up of nickel and iron. They provide hardness and toughness to the alloy. Hastelloy B-3 alloy can be purchased ready-made or as blank material for further processing into useful products. It can also be fabricated into parts at your facility using steel fabrication techniques. Blank materials must meet quality standards before they are sold. If you plan to fabricate your own products, you will need to have this alloy available in spools or sheets. Blank materials are shipped frozen and should be kept frozen until use.
