Hastelloy B-3 Hex Bar

Hastelloy B-3 hex bar sized across flats for acid-regeneration valve bonnets and absorption tower bolting.

Grade: Hastelloy B-3 UNS N10675 Werkstoff Nr. 2.4600 / NiMo29
Chromium Added on Purpose

ASTM B335 reaches five nickel-molybdenum numbers, and this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar is the one that carries 1.0–3.0% chromium by design.

As-Welded Before Anything Else

Moreover, the slower precipitation in this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar lets most joints skip the post-weld anneal the older B grade needs.

Cold-Work Limit Disclosed

Furthermore, we state the roughly 7% outer-fibre strain limit that sends this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar back to the furnace.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

About Hastelloy B-3 Hex Bar

Hastelloy B-3 hex bar arrives in UNS N10675, the nickel-molybdenum grade built for hydrochloric acid up to boiling point. Chromium between 1.0 and 3.0% slows the embrittling phase, so welded joints in this hex bar usually enter service as welded.

Hex bar carries the B335 chemistry and mechanics, while we fix the across-flats size when the order opens. We supply this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar to ASTM B335 and ASME SB335 in hot-worked, annealed and cold-drawn states, with the ASTM B564 forging route above 88.9 mm. Every consignment of this hex bar leaves with a heat-number record, the anneal temperature actually used and a set of EN 10204 3.1 papers.

Meanwhile, the full chemistry window and the physical data behind this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar sit on our Hastelloy B-3 material page for cross-reference.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Key Features of Hastelloy B-3 Hex Bar

Hastelloy B-3 hex bar arrives in UNS N10675, the nickel-molybdenum grade that carries 1.0–3.0% chromium on purpose, which slows the embrittling phase enough that most welded joints enter service without a furnace pass. We supply ASTM B335 hex bar sized across flats in hot-worked, annealed and drawn conditions for hydrogen chloride synthesis, acid regeneration and steel pickling hardware. Every Hastelloy B-3 hex bar consignment travels with heat-number traceability, EN 10204 3.1 mill test reports and full export documentation.

Hastelloy B-3 Hex Bar
Hastelloy B-3

Chromium Held on Purpose

For example, 1.0–3.0% chromium in this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar retards the phase that embrittles the older B grade.

01

As-Welded Service

Specifically, the slower Ni3Mo kinetics mean most joints in this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar need no post-weld anneal.

02

Hydrochloric Acid Coverage

Moreover, molybdenum at 27.0–32.0% carries this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar through hydrochloric acid at every concentration up to boiling.

03

Oxidant-Free Duty Only

Therefore, nitric acid, ferric ion and hypochlorite rule this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar out, so those lines belong with a chromium-rich alloy.

04

Cold-Work Limit Stated

In addition, outer-fibre strain beyond roughly 7% sends this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar back through the anneal before welding.

05

Thick-Section Welding

Besides, an interpass ceiling of 93 °C lets multi-pass work in this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar finish without a furnace pass.

06

No Hardness Figure Quoted

Consequently, ASTM B335 prints no hardness ceiling for this grade, so this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar is released on chemistry and tensile results.

07

Non-Magnetic in Service

Finally, the annealed matrix keeps this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar non-magnetic for instrument and seal work.

08

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Technical Specifications

Detailed technical information including chemical composition, mechanical properties, standards and available dimensions.

Chemical Composition

Chromium sits deliberately between 1.0 and 3.0% in this hex bar, and that addition is what separates the UNS N10675 window from the earlier nickel-molybdenum grades. Consequently, molybdenum holds 27.0–32.0% while carbon stops at 0.01%, so the nickel-plus-molybdenum total of this hex bar lands between 94.0 and 98.0%.

For every element measured against its B335 limit behind this hex bar, open the composition breakdown kept on the Hastelloy B-3 material page.

Mechanical Properties

Minimum room-temperature values below come from the rod table of ASTM B335 for UNS N10675. Consequently, the ordered state and the section size govern final acceptance of Hastelloy B-3 hex bar.

Condition and Grade Tensile Strength, min. Yield Strength (0.2%), min. Elongation, min.
Solution Annealed — UNS N10675 ≥760 MPa (110 ksi) ≥350 MPa (51 ksi) 40%
  • ASTM B335 carries this grade inside a scope that reaches five nickel-molybdenum numbers, and its rod title means the table speaks in diameters from 7.94 mm through 88.9 mm. Besides, the hardness cell printed beside N10675 in Table 2 stands empty, so no hardness acceptance figure exists for us to quote. Consequently, work above that diameter window moves onto the ASTM B564 forging route, and we agree the test position there instead of assuming it.

Physical Properties

Reference data places the density of this hex bar at 9.22 g/cm³, with a melting range that closes near 1418 °C. Moreover, the annealed matrix leaves this hex bar essentially non-magnetic, and its elastic modulus settles near 216 GPa.

Meanwhile, the physical properties table on the Hastelloy B-3 material page holds the conductivity and expansion figures behind this hex bar.

Heat Treatment

The water-quenched anneal is the specification-defining step behind this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar, because Ni3Mo forms close to 650 °C and only a rapid quench after 1066 °C restores the corrosion resistance. Moreover, a section strained past roughly 7% at the outer fibre returns to that anneal before it can go back into a weld.

Condition Typical Treatment
Solution Annealed Held near 1066 °C (1950 °F), then water quenched, because Ni3Mo begins to form close to 650 °C
Hot-Worked Delivered as-rolled or as-forged, with the anneal agreed where the order calls for it
Cold-Drawn Drawn after annealing, with the reduction logged so the higher proof stress is documented
Cold-Work Limit Outer-fibre strain beyond roughly 7% sends the section back through the solution anneal before welding or service
Stress-Relief Caution A relief pass inside the precipitation band still embrittles this grade, so residual-stress work needs a full anneal instead
Post-Weld Anneal Most joints enter service as welded, because the slower Ni3Mo kinetics leave the as-welded zone usable

Standards

ASTM B335 governs this hex bar under a title that names nickel-molybdenum rod, and the ASTM International document splits its two size clauses by delivery surface. Specifically, pickled or mechanically descaled stock runs below 19.05 mm while ground or turned stock runs above it. Therefore, the rod window for this hex bar closes at 88.9 mm and heavier sections change document.

Standard Product or Application
ASTM B335 / ASME SB335 Nickel-molybdenum alloy rod with N10675 in the scope table
DIN 17752 / ISO 9723 German and international bar documents
ASTM B564 / ASME SB564 Forged bar and sections above the 88.9 mm rod ceiling

Finally, the full standards list on the Hastelloy B-3 material page adds the plate, tube, fitting and flange documents plus the Chinese designation behind this hex bar.

Custom Hex Bar To drawing Custom

Available sizes of this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar depend on the route, the document, the state and the lot size. Please confirm the size, section and length you need for this hex bar in the inquiry.

Hexagon stock of this grade comes off round bar that is drawn or machined to the across-flats size, so the flats carry a little more cold work than the same diameter in round. Consequently, we record the reduction on this hex bar and re-anneal it where the ordered section needs the softest state.

Surface Finishes

The surface you order decides how this hex bar behaves once it reaches a hydrogen chloride synthesis unit, an absorption tower or an acid regeneration loop. Moreover, most stock of this hex bar leaves the yard solution annealed and pickled. Therefore, we confirm the finish and the straightness band on this Hastelloy B-3 hex bar before we write the offer.

Surface Condition Typical Use
Cold Drawn Drawn stock giving this hex bar close diameter control with a smoother skin.
Hot-Worked The as-rolled or as-forged skin on this hex bar, for parts your shop will machine all over.
Centreless Ground Ground diameter and straightness on this hex bar for pump spindles and seal faces.

In addition, the surface finishes table recorded on the Hastelloy B-3 material page lists the remaining conditions quoted for this hex bar.
