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.
