About Hastelloy B3 Stud Bolts
Hastelloy B3 stud bolts are composed of nickel and molybdenum alloy with added elements to improve corrosion resistance. The combination of high amounts of chromium, tungsten, and cobalt makes Hastelloy B3 stud bolts so distinct on the market. These elements give B3 Hastelloy stud bolts the ability to tolerate extreme temperatures and acidic and caustic environments. In addition, these special stud bolts are also highly resistant to hydrogen chloride gas attacks. They possess superior mechanical strength compared to other metal alloys and
stainless steel products, making them ideal for demanding engineering applications.
Exceptional Corrosion ResistanceHastelloy B3 Stud Bolts provide excellent protection against corrosive agents, notably acids, chlorides, and harsh reducing environments. This superior performance ensures extended lifespan and reliability in chemical processing, petrochemical, marine, and high-corrosion industries.
Versatile Thread Types and SizingThese stud bolts are available in metric and inch threads (UNC/UNF/BSW), ranging from M6 up to M100 or as required. Custom dimensions can be tailored to specific project needs, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration in varied engineering applications.
Certified Quality and Mechanical StrengthConforming to ASTM B335 and other standards such as ASME, DIN, and ISO, Hastelloy B3 Stud Bolts deliver an ultimate tensile strength up to 800 MPa and a minimum elongation of 40%. Their Rockwell Hardness of 88 HRB ensures toughness suitable for demanding conditions.
