Ultra Corrosion Resistant Hastelloy C22 Tube Nickel Chromium Molybdenum Alloy

Hastelloy C22 Tube: Ultra-Corrosion Resistant Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum Alloy for Severe Environments

Product Description

Hastelloy C22 tube is a next-generation nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy designed to combat the most aggressive corrosive and oxidizing conditions. With a balanced composition of 56% nickel, 22% chromium, and 13% molybdenum, this alloy delivers unparalleled resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in chloride-rich, acidic, and mixed acid environments. Its seamless construction ensures uniform wall thickness and zero porosity, critical for high-pressure applications in chemical processing, offshore oil & gas, and flue gas desulfurization systems.

The alloy’s low carbon content (<0.015%) and tungsten addition (2.5–3.5%) enhance weldability and resistance to carbide precipitation, even in prolonged service at 600°C (1,112°F). Compliant with ASTM B622, ASME SB622, and DIN 17744 standards, Hastelloy C22 tubes are cold-drawn or hot-extruded to achieve dimensional tolerances of ±0.05 mm for precision installations. Industries in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe rely on its performance in sulfuric acid reactors, seawater-cooled heat exchangers, and hydrochloric acid handling systems.

Available in outer diameters (OD) from 12 mm to 250 mm and wall thicknesses of 1.5 mm to 25 mm, these tubes undergo rigorous quality checks, including eddy current testing (ECT) and hydrostatic pressure validation. Custom solutions include solution-annealed or electropolished finishes for enhanced resistance to reducing acids like HCl and H₂SO₄.

FAQ Section

Q: Can Hastelloy C22 tubes replace titanium in hydrochloric acid (HCl) environments?
A: Yes, its molybdenum-tungsten matrix resists HCl up to 20% concentration at 50°C, offering superior cost-efficiency.

Q: What surface finishes are recommended for Middle East seawater cooling systems?
A: Electropolished surfaces minimize biofouling and crevice corrosion in high-salinity Gulf seawater.

Q: Is post-weld heat treatment mandatory for ASME B31.3 compliance?
A: Solution annealing at 1,120–1,175°C is advised for welded joints in acidic service to restore corrosion resistance.
