Hastelloy X is a nickel-based alloy made for high heat and tough environments. It combines nickel, chromium, iron, and molybdenum to create a strong and stable material. The alloy was developed for use in extreme conditions where both strength and corrosion resistance are required. With about 47% nickel, it resists rust and cracking. Chromium (20.5–23%) helps it fight oxidation, especially at high temperatures. Iron (17 – 20%) supports its structure, while molybdenum (8–10%) strengthens it against chemical damage. If any of these drop too low, the material becomes weaker or less heat-resistant. Smaller elements like tungsten, cobalt, and carbon also play a part. Each one improves performance in specific ways. The balance of these component is what makes Hastelloy X composition so effective for harsh industrial settings.
Parag Metals supplies high grade Hastelloy X in multiple forms including bar, sheet, plate, disk and forged or machined parts. This alloy is built to perform in high temperatures and tough pressure zones. It handles stress well, with a tensile strength of 755 MPa and yield strength of 385 MPa. With good elongation and elasticity, it shapes easily during fabrication. The Rockwell hardness level of 87 adds to its toughness. We supply materials that meet strict quality checks, making them suitable for heavy-duty use across industries.
Hastelloy X has stable physical properties that support its use in high-temperature machinery. It has a density of 8.220 g/cm³ and a melting point of 1316°C. The alloy is often stress relieved at 400–450°C for two hours and cooled by air. It can be cold worked and then solution annealed at 1177°C for restoring strength. Hastelloy X heat treatment improves performance after processing. It does not need preheating or post-heating for welding. TIG, MIG, and resistance welding all work well with matching filler metals. Forging and forming use standard methods. Hastelloy X machinability is smooth with basic tools, though it needs more force due to its stiffness. Cold working increases its strength, while aging at 649–871°C can improve hardness further.
Hastelloy X follows ASTM specifications that define its quality, properties, and performance. These standards are key for use in critical industries where material failure is not an option. This alloy is used in gas turbines, aircraft combustion zones, heat treating equipment, and chemical reactors. It handles oxidizing, reducing, and neutral conditions with ease. Hastelloy X is also used in furnace parts, exhaust systems, and industrial heating units. It holds up under pressure and heat, making it one of the most trusted materials for high-demand environments.
