Abstract
HASTELLOY alloy B-2 has outstanding corrosion resistance in the as-welded condition. It is an improved wrought version of HASTELLOY alloy B with the same excellent corrosion resistance as alloy B, but with improved resistance to knife line and heat-affected zone attack. Alloy B-2 resists the formation of grain-boundry carbide precipitates in the weld heat-affected zone, thus making it suitable for most chemical process applications in the as-welded condition. This alloy also has excellent resistance to pitting and stress-corrosion cracking. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ni-249.
