Hastelloy B3 Mandrel Bend Pipe Fittings

Hastelloy B3 Mandrel Bend Pipe Fittings comprise a chrome-molybdenum-nickel alloy created by Haynes International, Inc. Tempering, strict production practices, and the specialised material make Hastelloy B3 fittings virtually immune to stress corrosion cracking and creep corrosion. Its tensile strength is also significantly increased within harsh oxidising environments up to 2000°F due to its chemical composition, which features about 27% chromium, 22% nickel, and 6.3% molybdenum, as well as small amounts of other elements like iron or cobalt. Hastelloy B3 provides the highest resistance level among metals or alloys in this category when subject to severe temperatures and corrosive activity. This unique alloy has become invaluable in many industries, such as oil refineries and food processing plants, where reliability and longevity are essential parameters.

B3 Hastelloy Mandrel Bend Pipe Fittings are perfect for highly corrosive environments such as heavy industry, petrochemical and chemical processing. Boasting superior performance over conventional stainless steel when in the presence of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, it is the material of choice for various applications requiring resistance to stress corrosion cracking. It also maintains excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures without loss of stiffness or flexibility, making it suitable for use in high-temperature environments. Hastelloy B3 can be readily welded using standard arc welding processes, enabling tighter seals and leak-proof installations. These advantages make it the perfect solution for any industrial piping application needing superior resistance to corrosion and other hazardous conditions.
