Hastelloy B2 Fasteners About
Hastelloy B2 is a nickel-molybdenum alloy with good performance in resisting all concentrations and temperatures of hydrochloric acid solutions. It also has a fairly good resistance to other acids, including sulphuric, acetic and phosphoric acids. Hastelloy B2 bolts, nuts, and washers are essential in many industries with high strength and chemical resistance.
Mechanical Excellence and StrengthManufactured from high-grade Nickel-Molybdenum Alloy B-2, Hastelloy B2 fasteners deliver a minimum tensile strength of 690 MPa and yield strength of 310 MPa, with at least 30% elongation. Their superior hardness (Rockwell B90 - C35) ensures dependability in heavy-duty applications.
Outstanding Corrosion ResistanceThese fasteners offer remarkable resistance to aggressive acids like hydrochloric, sulfuric, acetic, and phosphoric acids, making them ideal for harsh chemical, petrochemical, and marine settings. The passivated or polished surface ensures extra protection against corrosive elements.
Versatile Customization and ApplicationsWith a variety of head types, threads, and customizable dimensions (M3 to M56 and beyond), Hastelloy B2 fasteners serve diverse needs in power, marine, and chemical processing industries. Their bright metallic finish and ability to operate up to 540C make them highly versatile.
