Also sold as Nickel Alloy X, Hastelloy® X is a popular and effective nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy. Nickel Alloy X and Hastelloy X offer users a wide range of principal features. These include:

• High degree of oxidation resistance up to 2200° F

• Outstanding high-temperature strength

• Easily fabricated including forming and welding

• Good ductility after prolonged exposure at high-temperatures

• Good resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking

• Resistant to carburization and nitriding

• Develops a protective oxide film that does not spall off

Because of its outstanding capabilities, Nickel Alloy X and Hastelloy X are in use throughout the aircraft, furnace, petrochemical, and chemical processing industries. Some of the more popular applications include:

• Gas turbine engines

• Transition ducts

• Combustor cans

• Spray bars and flame holders

• Afterburners, tailpipes, and cabin heaters

• Chemical processing retorts, muffles, and tubing

To be considered Nickel Alloy X or Hastelloy X, an alloy must meet certain levels of chemical composition including:

• Cr 20.5-23%

• Fe 17-20%

• Mo 8-10%

• Mn 1% max

• Si 1% max

• C .05-.15%

• Ni bal
