Key Advantages of UNS N10665 / UNS N10675 Round Bars
Extreme Acid Defense
High molybdenum content (26–30%) provides complete protection against all concentrations of pure hydrochloric acid at all temperatures, preventing catastrophic equipment failure.
Weld-Zone Reliability
Ultra-low carbon and silicon levels prevent grain-boundary carbide precipitation during welding, maintaining full corrosion protection in heat-affected zones.
Superior Thermal Stability (B3)
Alloy B3 features micro-structural chemistry improvements that prevent embrittlement during fabrication and intermediate heat exposures compared to standard B2.
Stress Cracking Defense
High nickel balance prevents chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement in pure reducing process streams.
Key Applications of Hastelloy B2 / B3 Round Bars
| Industry Sector | Typical Components | Operating Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Acetic Acid Synthesis | Catalyst injection pump shafts, reactor agitators | Hot concentrated acetic acid, carbon monoxide, and iodide catalysts |
| Hydrochloric Acid Production | Reboiler shafts, gas scrubbers, valve internals | Pure HCl acid environments across all concentrations and boiling temperatures |
| Alkylation Units | Sulfuric acid pump shafts and control valve trim | Concentrated H2SO4 process fluids and active acid recovery systems |
| Styrene Manufacturing | Distillation column tie rods, heat exchanger fittings | Organic chemical synthesis at elevated operating temperatures |
| Fine Chemical Processing | Metering pump rotors, specialized mixing shafts | Aggressive reducing reagents, anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas |
Quality Testing & Inspection
Every batch supplied by a trusted Hastelloy B2 Round Bars Exporter and Hastelloy B3 Round Bars Exporter undergoes rigorous testing:
- Positive Material Identification (PMI): XRF analysis verifies exact concentrations of nickel, molybdenum, and iron.
- Intergranular Corrosion Resistance: ASTM G28 testing confirms complete immunity to grain boundary attack in aggressive acidic conditions.
- Ultrasonic Inspection: Volumetric NDT per ASTM A388 ensures internal structural integrity free of micro-cracks or forging bursts.
- Dimensional Inspection: Laser micrometers verify strict compliance with ISO h8 to h11 limits for rapid machining.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hastelloy B3 provides identical corrosion resistance to B2 in hydrochloric acid but possesses significantly greater thermal stability and resistance to thermal embrittlement during fabrication and welding.
No. Hastelloy B2 and B3 contain minimal chromium and are specifically designed for reducing media. Oxidizing contaminants like ferric or cupric ions can cause rapid corrosion attack.
Yes. Both grades have ultra-low carbon content (0.01-0.02% max), allowing them to be welded without grain-boundary carbide precipitation in as-welded conditions.
We stock forged bar sizes from 50 mm up to 500 mm in diameter, custom cut to exact engineering lengths with full solution annealing.
All shipments include full EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates detailing heat chemistry, mechanical property testing, NDT inspection, and heat treatment records.
