What are Hastelloy B3 Round Bars?

Hastelloy B3 Round Bars are metal bars made from Hastelloy B3 alloy, a highly specialized material used for its distinct composition. The alloy has high molybdenum and nickel content, which offers corrosion-resistance superior to other alloys. It has a low content of carbon, which suppresses carbide precipitation during welding, thus ensuring corrosion-resistance in the weld area. The bars are made in different sizes and finishes, customized according to the requirements of different industries.

One of the main benefits of Hastelloy B3 Round Bars lies in their superior pitting, stress corrosion cracking, and knife-line attack resistance. Their durability in stressful as well as high-temperature conditions provides them with a longer service life, thus saving on maintenance. High ductility of the alloy facilitates smooth processing as well as machining, endowing it with a broad manufacturing versatility. Thermal conductivity over a broad temperature range further enhances its suitability for performance-based installations.
