Hastelloy C‑22 Bar and Rod

High-chromium nickel alloy bar and rod for oxidizing and mixed-acid duty where standard C-family grades fall short.

Grade: Hastelloy C-22 UNS N06022 Werkstoff Nr. 2.4602
High-Chromium Coverage

C-22 carries the highest chromium in the C-family, so your bar resists oxidizing acids and wet chlorine that defeat lower-chromium alloys.

Heat-Recorded Chemistry

We report chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten results per heat on the EN 10204 3.1 certificate, so you can verify the grade before fabrication.

Flexible Bar Supply

Round, hex, square, and forged sections are cut to order, with custom diameters and surface finishes reviewed against our mill route.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

About Hastelloy C-22 Bar and Rod

Hastelloy C-22 bar and rod is supplied in UNS N06022 / W.Nr. 2.4602, a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy containing approximately 20.0–22.5% chromium. Its balanced chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten content provides broad resistance to oxidizing acids, wet chlorine, and mixed oxidizing-chloride environments.

For oxidizing or variable process streams, we supply C-22 bar and rod in the solution-annealed condition to ASTM B574, available in round, hex, square, and forged forms and cut to your required lengths. EN 10204 3.1 certification can be supplied with heat number identification, with PMI verification available when required by your specification.

For strongly reducing acid service, Hastelloy C-276 Bar and Rod may be a more suitable alternative due to its lower chromium and higher molybdenum content.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Key Features of Hastelloy C-22 Bar and Rod

Southerly Alloy supplies Hastelloy C-22 (UNS N06022) bar and rod to ASTM B574 in solution-annealed, hot-finished, and cold-drawn conditions, with custom sizes, surface finishes, and EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates. Its 20–22.5% chromium resists oxidizing acids, wet chlorine, and mixed oxidant-chloride media that defeat lower-chromium grades. Most of this bar serves FGD, chemical, pharmaceutical, and waste-treatment equipment facing variable or aggressive process streams.

Hastelloy C-22

Broad Oxidizing-Acid Resistance

Higher chromium lets C-22 resist nitric acid, ferric chloride, and cupric chloride where Hastelloy C-276 Bar and Rod shows weaker performance.

01

Mixed Oxidant-Chloride Resistance

Wet chlorine, hypochlorite, and chlorine dioxide are handled by the chromium-rich passive film that resists localized attack.

02

Reducing-Acid Coverage

Molybdenum and tungsten still cover hydrochloric, sulfuric, and phosphoric acid systems in the same bar.

03

Chloride Localized-Corrosion Resistance

Pitting and crevice attack in seawater and process chloride streams are resisted by the high pitting-resistance number.

04

Weld-Zone Immunity

Ultra-low carbon and silicon keep welded joints corrosion-resistant without post-weld heat treatment in the field.

05

Higher Minimum Strength

Annealed C-22 meets a 310 MPa yield minimum, above the C-276 floor, with 45% elongation for fabrication tolerance.

06

Solution-Annealed Stability

Water-quenched annealing after hot work restores full corrosion resistance before the bar is released.

07

Heat-Traceable Documentation

Lot-by-lot certificates record the heat number and the chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten results for your bar.

08
WHY CHOOSE US

Why Choose Hastelloy C-22

Southerly Alloy controls the C-22 melt from charge to certificate. The chromium-rich chemistry your oxidizing service needs is confirmed before the bar is cut. Our metallurgists review each enquiry and release the lot with full heat records.

01

Heat Chemistry Verified

Spectrometer checks on every heat confirm the 20% chromium floor before we release the bar.

02

Documented Sour-Service Option

Where the order calls for it, we assemble per-heat hardness and chemistry records for NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 review.

03

Custom Lengths and Finishes

Diameters, cut lengths, and surface conditions are agreed with the drawing and the order quantity.

04

Single-Point Order Management

One coordinator handles your enquiry, production, inspection, and export documents from start to shipment.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Reliable Production For Critical Applications

Each C-22 bar starts as a vacuum-refined heat where chromium and tungsten are held high to build the oxidant resistance. We solution-anneal and water-quench every lot, then finish to the ordered condition and file the test data against the heat number.

01

Charge Compounding

Nickel, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and iron are weighed into the UNS N06022 window before melting begins.

02

Vacuum Melting

The charge is refined under vacuum to keep carbon, silicon, and gas within the tight limits.

03

Forging and Rolling

We reduce ingots to bar section by forging and rolling, refining the cast grain at every pass.

04

Solution Annealing

Above 1100 °C the bar is held then water-quenched, dissolving precipitates that would harm corrosion resistance.

05

Cold Finishing

Ordered diameters and surfaces are reached by drawing, peeling, or centreless grinding the annealed bar.

06

Straightening and Cutting

Length cutting and straightening follow, and we set the turning allowance with the order.

07

Surface Conditioning

Pickling or grinding clears the scale, keeping the surface ready for acid and chloride service.

08

Final Verification

Before release we confirm chemistry, tensile, hardness, and size against the condition written on the order.

Sour-Service Scope

Engineers can specify this bar for H2S duty because it meets NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156, and we keep per-heat hardness and chemistry records for the release documents.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Strict Quality Control From Production To Delivery

No C-22 bar leaves the works until we prove the ordered ASTM B574 requirements on the heat. First we check chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten by spectrometer against the N06022 window. Intergranular and hardness results are added where your order specification requires them.

01

Material Verification

Spectrometer analysis confirms chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten against the ASTM B574 limits for UNS N06022.

02

Mechanical Testing

Tensile, yield, and hardness are recorded for the condition actually shipped, not a generic value.

03

Surface and Dimensional Checks

Diameter, straightness, and surface condition are verified to the ordered B574 tolerance, and PMI is added where the specification calls for it.

04

Heat-Linked Documentation

Each certificate names its heat number, so your incoming inspection can trace any bar back to its test results.

PRODUCT FORMS

Available Product Forms

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Technical Specifications

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

Chemical Composition

The limits below follow ASTM B574 for UNS N06022 bar and rod, with nickel as the balance of the melt. Chromium sits at 20.0–22.5% — about six points above C-276 — to drive oxidizing-media resistance, while molybdenum and tungsten cover reducing acids and localized attack, and ultra-low carbon protects the weld zones. Therefore, the mill test certificate governs final acceptance.

Element Content
Nickel (Ni) Balance
Chromium (Cr) 20.0–22.5%
Molybdenum (Mo) 12.5–14.5%
Tungsten (W) 2.5–3.5%
Iron (Fe) 2.0–6.0%
Cobalt (Co) 2.5% max.
Manganese (Mn) 0.50% max.
Vanadium (V) 0.35% max.
Silicon (Si) 0.08% max.
Carbon (C) 0.015% max.
Phosphorus (P) 0.020% max.
Sulfur (S) 0.020% max.

Mechanical Properties

Values below separate the ASTM B574 minimums from results typically measured on solution-annealed bar. The standard sets one condition for rod and bar; therefore, we agree cold-drawn or high-strength requirements at quotation. Confirm the ordered condition with your enquiry.

Condition Tensile Strength Yield Strength (0.2%) Elongation Hardness
Annealed — ASTM B574 minimum ≥100 ksi (690 MPa) ≥45 ksi (310 MPa) ≥45% ≤241 HB
Annealed bar — typical values 116 ksi (800 MPa) 53.7 ksi (370 MPa) 62% Approx. 100 HRB

C-22 is not age-hardenable, so any strength above the annealed minimum comes from cold work. Cold-drawn bar is quoted to its as-drawn condition when higher yield is needed.

Physical Properties

Typical room-temperature values below support design work rather than acceptance testing. Because C-22 stays practically non-magnetic across its working range, it suits instrument and magnetically sensitive assemblies.

Property Value
Density Approx. 8.69 g/cm³
Melting range Approx. 1357–1399 °C
Modulus of elasticity Approx. 206 GPa
Thermal conductivity at 20 °C Approx. 10.1 W/m·K
Specific heat at 20 °C Approx. 414 J/kg·K
Electrical resistivity at 20 °C Approx. 1.14 µΩ·m
Thermal expansion, 20–100 °C Approx. 12.4 µm/m·K
Magnetic behaviour Practically non-magnetic at ambient temperature
