It retains these mechanical properties even after prolonged exposure up to 1,200 degrees F, with thermal properties closer matching engineering alloys over stainless steel. This combination of strength, fabricability and temperature resistance allows for versatility in designing vessels, fasteners and structural parts out of UNS N06022 Hex Bar. The bars are readily machined into all components needed in the chemical, petrochemical and power generation sectors.

A benefit of Hastelloy C22 over other nickel alloys is its improved weldability, meaning less risk of post-welding cracks. The heat-affected zones around welds respond well to standard ageing treatments. This ensures the structural integrity of vessels, heat exchangers, evaporators, pumps and processing equipment made from welded C22 bars. Unlike stainless steels, UNS N06022 Black Bar resists pitting and crevice corrosion even when welded.

When machining C22 bars, rigidity and sharp tooling are paramount to achieving tight tolerances. While readily machinable, the stringy chips and work-hardening tendencies mean taking slow feeds and speeds.

Werkstoff Nr. 2.4602 Peeled Round Bar provides exceptional structural stability and corrosion resistance due to its blend of durability-enhancing metals. This makes it an extremely versatile grade usable across the chemical processing, pollution control, pulp and paper, nuclear and petrochemical sectors, especially for vessels, heat exchangers and other critical parts.
