What Are Hastelloy C-2000 Wires?

Hastelloy C-2000 wires are advanced nickel-based alloy wire products designed to provide superior resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments. Alloy C-2000 is unique because it combines high chromium content for oxidizing resistance with high molybdenum content for reducing environment resistance, along with a controlled addition of copper to enhance sulfuric acid resistance.

This balanced composition makes Hastelloy C-2000 one of the most versatile corrosion-resistant alloys available, offering improved performance compared to C-276 and C-22 in certain acidic conditions.

These wires are particularly suitable for applications involving mixed acids and aggressive chemical media.

Key Features of Hastelloy C-2000 Wires

  • Exceptional resistance to both oxidizing and reducing environments
  • Superior resistance to sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid
  • Outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
  • Excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking
  • Good mechanical strength at elevated temperatures
  • Enhanced durability in mixed chemical environments
  • Excellent weldability and fabrication characteristics

Hastelloy C-2000 is often selected when broad-spectrum corrosion resistance is required.


Chemical Composition of Hastelloy C-2000

The performance of Hastelloy C-2000 is achieved through a carefully balanced chemical composition:

Element Composition (%)
Nickel (Ni) Balance
Chromium (Cr) 22.0 – 24.0
Molybdenum (Mo) 15.0 – 17.0
Copper (Cu) 1.3 – 1.9
Iron (Fe) 3.0 max
Cobalt (Co) 2.0 max
Manganese (Mn) 0.5 max
Silicon (Si) 0.08 max
Carbon (C) 0.01 max
Phosphorus (P) 0.025 max
Sulfur (S) 0.01 max

Role of Key Elements

  • Nickel: Provides overall corrosion resistance and structural stability.
  • Chromium: Enhances resistance to oxidizing environments.
  • Molybdenum: Improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in reducing conditions.
  • Copper: Significantly improves resistance to sulfuric acid.
  • Low Carbon Content: Reduces risk of carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion during welding.

The optimized chemistry ensures excellent long-term performance in aggressive service conditions.


Mechanical Properties

  • Tensile Strength: 690 MPa (minimum)
  • Yield Strength: 310 MPa (minimum)
  • Elongation: 40% (minimum)
  • Hardness: Approx. 100 HRB (annealed condition)
  • Density: 8.50 g/cm³

Hastelloy C-2000 wires maintain reliable mechanical strength across a wide temperature range. Cold working can increase tensile strength while maintaining corrosion resistance.


Physical Properties

  • Melting Range: 1328 – 1358°C
  • Modulus of Elasticity: 200 GPa
  • Thermal Conductivity: 10.2 W/m·K
  • Electrical Resistivity: 1.28 µΩ·m
  • Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 13.4 µm/m°C

These physical characteristics ensure dimensional stability and durability under fluctuating thermal conditions.


Corrosion Resistance

Hastelloy C-2000 wires offer exceptional resistance to:

  • Sulfuric acid (including contaminated acid streams)
  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Mixed acid environments
  • Chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion
  • Stress corrosion cracking
  • Industrial waste and pollution control systems

The alloy’s balanced composition allows it to perform effectively in environments where both oxidizing and reducing agents are present simultaneously.


Heat Treatment

Hastelloy C-2000 is not precipitation hardenable and gains strength primarily through cold working.

Annealing Process:

  • Heat to 1149 – 1177°C
  • Rapid quenching (water cooling recommended)

Annealing restores maximum corrosion resistance and ductility.


Weldability

Hastelloy C-2000 wires offer excellent weldability and are suitable for:

  • TIG (GTAW) welding
  • MIG (GMAW) welding

Advantages include:

  • No preheating generally required
  • Post-weld heat treatment typically not required
  • Matching filler metal such as ERNiCrMo-17 recommended
  • Excellent resistance to weld cracking

The alloy retains its corrosion resistance in welded areas, ensuring structural reliability.


Machinability

Due to work-hardening characteristics, Hastelloy C-2000 requires careful machining practices:

  • Use rigid machine setups
  • Apply sharp carbide cutting tools
  • Maintain low cutting speeds
  • Use adequate coolant
  • Avoid tool dwell time

Proper machining techniques help achieve accurate dimensions and high-quality surface finishes.
