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 C22 should not be used in service
temperatures above 1250° F due to the formation of
detrimental phases which form above this temperature.
