Introduction

Hastelloy C22 is a versatile  austenitic nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy with enhanced resistance  to pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. The high  chromium content provides good resistance to oxidizing media while the  molybdenum and tungsten content give good resistance to reducing media. This  nickel steel alloy also has excellent resistance to oxidizing aqueous media  including wet chlorine and mixtures containing nitric acid or oxidizing acids  with chlorine ions. Other corrosives Hastelloy C22 has resistance to are  oxidizing acid chlorides, wet chlorine, formic and acetic acids, ferric and  cupric chlorides, sea water, brine and many mixed or contaminated chemical  solutions, both organic and inorganic. This nickel alloy also offers optimum  resistance to environments where reducing and oxidizing conditions are  encountered in process streams. This is beneficial in multi- purpose plants  where such “upset” conditions occur frequently.

This nickel alloy resists the formation of grain-boundary precipitates  in the weld heat-affected zone, thus making it suitable for most chemical  process applications in the as-welded condition.

Hastelloy C-22 should not be used in service temperatures above 1250° F  due to the formation of detrimental phases which form above this temperature.
