Hastelloy B3 Electrodes

Hastelloy B3 electrodes are composed of an alloy that includes Niobium, Molybdenum, Iron and Chromium. This combination of elements creates a highly resistant material to corrosion in applications ranging from atmospheres with high levels of sulfur to hydrochloric acids. The Hastelloy B3 alloy can also withstand significant temperature changes without compromising its strength and is often used in low-stress welding operations for more challenging parts manufacturing. While the exact chemical composition can vary slightly based on different manufacturers, it offers excellent weldability for serious fabrication jobs across a wide range of temperatures. It makes B3 Hastelloy electrodes a reliable choice for many engineers.

Hastelloy Electrodes B3 are nickel-molybdenum alloy electrodes with excellent corrosion-resistant properties. Highly resistant to reducing and oxidizing agents, hot contaminated mineral acids, solutions of acids with chlorine ions, and most organic acids, these electrodes are the perfect choice for welding applications in highly corrosive environments. They show excellent mechanical strength for use in elevated temperature atmospheres and offer excellent protection against stress corrosion cracking and intergranular breakdown. Hastelloy B3 electrodes have a wide variety of industrial uses, including petrochemical sectors, oil exploration services and biochemical engineering work. Additionally, they are used to fabricate power plant components such as piping systems, pressure vessels and heat exchangers.
