Hastelloy C22 Pipes & Tubes

A versatile Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum-Tungsten alloy with superior resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking.

Alloy C22 Technical Overview

Hastelloy C22 (UNS N06022) is a versatile nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy with better overall corrosion resistance than other Ni-Cr-Mo alloys available today, including Hastelloy C-276, C-4, and A-625. Alloy C22 has outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. It has excellent resistance to oxidizing aqueous media including wet chlorine and mixtures containing nitric acid or oxidizing acids with chloride ions. Steel Emporium supplies Grade C22 pipes and tubes that are extensively used in the most severe environments found in chemical processing, pollution control, and waste treatment.

Key Material Advantages

Total Versatility

Resists both oxidizing and reducing media, making it a "multi-purpose" alloy.

Corrosion Immunity

Superior resistance to weld-heat affected zone attack and pitting.

High Ductility

Excellent weldability and ease of fabrication for complex systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hastelloy C22 contains more Chromium (22%) than C276 (16%), which gives it significantly better resistance to oxidizing media like nitric acid or wet chlorine. It is often considered the next-generation upgrade to C276.

Alloy C22 has excellent weldability. Its specific chemistry prevents the formation of grain-boundary precipitates in the weld-heat affected zone, maintaining corrosion resistance in the "as-welded" state.

Yes, C22 is uniquely designed to handle mixtures of oxidizing and reducing acids, such as nitric and hydrochloric acid blends, where other alloys fail.

No, Hastelloy C22 is non-magnetic in all standard conditions.

Common standards include ASTM B622 (Seamless Pipe/Tube), ASTM B619 (Welded Pipe), and ASTM B626 (Welded Tube).
