FAQ
Hastelloy X stands out for its remarkable thermal stability, capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 1,200°C.
It offers very good resistance to oxidation and hot cracking, even in extreme conditions.
It also performs excellently in both oxidising and reducing atmospheres, making it versatile for a wide range of industrial environments.
Finally, it offers excellent weldability, a significant advantage for a superalloy in this category.
Hastelloy X is used in many industrial sectors, including aerospace for combustion chambers and turbines, energy for high-temperature systems, petrochemicals, industrial furnaces and certain nuclear-related components.
No, there is only one alloy standardised under the designation Hastelloy X. However, it can be offered in different industrial forms (sheet, bar, tube, etc.) or metallurgical conditions (annealed, cold-worked, etc.), but its composition remains governed by the standards in force.
The chemical composition of Hastelloy X is typically 47% nickel, 20 to 23% chromium, 17 to 20% iron and 8 to 10% molybdenum. It also contains cobalt (between 0.5 and 2.5%) and low levels of elements such as carbon, manganese and silicon.
Yes, Hastelloy X has very good weldability, which makes it easier to process than other superalloys. However, welding conditions need to be controlled to avoid phenomena such as the precipitation of undesirable phases or sensitisation to corrosion.
Depending on the application, certain alloys such as Inconel 625 or Inconel 718 may be considered as alternatives, particularly for their mechanical properties or corrosion resistance. For more aggressive chemical environments, Hastelloy C-22 or C-276 alloys may also be options. However, Hastelloy X remains the preferred choice for high-temperature applications involving high mechanical stress.
