Datasheet: Hastelloy˘ C-4

Hastelloy˘ C-4

This Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy tolerates high temperatures and gives a design freedom in areas where weld geometry makes excessive heat build-up unavoidable. Resistance to general and localised corrosion and stress corrosion cracking is generally similar to Hastelloy C-276. With its high contents of Chromium and Molybdenum, Hastelloy C-4 is able to withstand both oxidizing and non-oxidizing acids, and is resistant to pitting and crevice attacks in the presence of chlorides and other halides. Like other nickel alloys, Hastelloy C-4 is ductile, easy to form and weld.

Hastelloy C-4 is also known as Nicrofer 6616.
