Frequently Asked Questions About Hastelloy C22 & C276 Forged Pipe Fittings
What are Hastelloy C22 and C276 Forged Pipe Fittings?
Hastelloy C22 (UNS N06022) and Hastelloy C276 (UNS N10276) are nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy forged pipe fittings manufactured to standards like ASTM B564 / ASME SB564 and ASME B16.11 [citation:7][citation:10]. Both grades offer exceptional corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, including oxidizing and reducing media [citation:2]. These fittings are widely used in chemical processing, flue gas desulfurization systems, pharmaceutical equipment, and oil & gas applications [citation:1][citation:11].
What is the difference between Hastelloy C22 and C276?
The primary difference lies in their chemical composition and resulting performance characteristics [citation:9][citation:11]. Hastelloy C22 has a higher chromium content (20.5-23%) and lower molybdenum (8-10%), offering superior resistance to oxidizing acids, pitting, and crevice corrosion [citation:6][citation:9]. Hastelloy C276 has higher molybdenum (15-17%) and lower chromium (14.5-16.5%), making it excel in reducing environments and against wet chlorine gas [citation:3][citation:9]. C276 is generally slightly more economical in the Indian market [citation:9].
What manufacturing standards and pressure classes are available?
Our Hastelloy Forged Pipe Fittings are manufactured in compliance with ASTM B564 / ASME SB564 for material specifications and ASME B16.11, MSS SP-79, MSS SP-83, MSS SP-95, and BS 3799 for dimensional standards [citation:7][citation:10]. They are available in pressure classes 2000 LBS, 3000 LBS, 6000 LBS, and 9000 LBS [citation:7][citation:10]. Sizes range from ⅛" NB to 4" NB for socket weld and threaded fittings [citation:7][citation:10].
What types of forged fittings are available in Hastelloy C22 and C276?
We offer a complete range including elbows, tees (equal and reducing), crosses, concentric and eccentric reducers, caps, unions, couplings, hexagon and reducing nipples, plugs, and bushings [citation:4]. Socket weld and threaded (screwed) fittings are available in both grades [citation:2][citation:7]. Forged outlet fittings such as weldolets, sockolets, threadolets, and elbolets are also offered [citation:4]. Customized dimensions are available upon request.
What are the typical mechanical properties of Hastelloy C22 and C276?
Both grades exhibit excellent mechanical properties. Ultimate Tensile Strength is ≥ 690 MPa for both alloys. Yield Strength (0.2% offset) is ≥ 283 MPa for C22 and ≥ 276 MPa for C276. Elongation is ≥ 40% for both, demonstrating excellent ductility [citation:6][citation:9]. Maximum hardness is ≤ 230 HB for both grades [citation:9].
What physical properties make Hastelloy C22 and C276 unique?
Both alloys are characterized by their outstanding corrosion resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments [citation:1][citation:8]. Hastelloy C22 has a density of 8.49 g/cm³ and melting point of 1325-1370°C [citation:6][citation:9]. Hastelloy C276 has a density of 8.9 g/cm³ and melting point of 1260-1355°C [citation:6][citation:9]. Both alloys resist the formation of grain boundary precipitates that would degrade corrosion resistance, and C276 generally does not require solution heat treatment after welding [citation:3].
Which industries use Hastelloy C22 and C276 Forged Pipe Fittings?
These fittings are widely used across chemical processing, petrochemicals and refineries, oil and gas, pharmaceutical manufacturing, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems, pulp and paper production, waste treatment, and power generation [citation:5][citation:8][citation:9]. C22 is often favored for FGD and pharmaceutical applications due to its superior resistance to oxidizing conditions and chlorides, while C276 remains the industry standard for general chemical processing and pollution control [citation:9][citation:11].
What testing and inspection do you perform on Hastelloy Forged Fittings?
Our Hastelloy forged fittings undergo rigorous quality checks including radiography testing (RT), ultrasonic testing (UT), hydrostatic testing, visual and dimensional examination, chemical composition analysis, and mechanical property testing. PMI (Positive Material Identification) and NDT are also performed to ensure material compliance with strict industry standards [citation:4]. Test certificates as per EN 10204 Type 3.1 and Type 3.2 are provided.
