Haynes HR-160 is a solid-solution-strengthened nickel-cobalt-chromium-silicon alloy with outstanding resistance to high-temperature corrosion. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.
A solid-solution-strengthened nickel-cobalt-chromium-silicon alloy, Haynes HR-160 offers outstanding resistance to many forms of high-temperature corrosion attack. It has excellent resistance to sulfidation and chloride attack in both reducing and oxidizing atmospheres, together with exceptionally good resistance to oxidation, hot corrosion, carburization, metal dusting, nitridation, and attack by low-melting-point compounds such as those formed by phosphorus and vanadium. Its high silicon content (about 2.75%) forms a protective silica-rich scale that underlies this resistance. The austenitic structure is very stable; long-term ageing at 650–870 °C produces only Cr₂₃C₆ carbides and a G-phase rather than embrittling sigma or mu phases. The alloy is especially suited to environments from combustion of low-grade fuels or processing of contaminated feedstocks, and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1204 °C (2200 °F). It is supplied in the solution-annealed condition.
Typical applications include waste-incineration equipment, low-grade-fuel and biomass combustion hardware, chemical-process components handling sulfur-, chlorine- and vanadium-bearing streams, and high-temperature heat-treatment and furnace parts.

Confirm against the mill test report. The stable austenitic structure resists embrittlement, forming only Cr₂₃C₆ and a G-phase rather than sigma or mu phases on long-term ageing.
| Environment | Performance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sulfidation (reducing + oxidizing) | Outstanding | Silica-rich protective scale |
| Chloride / chlorine attack | Excellent | Reducing and oxidizing atmospheres |
| Carburisation / metal dusting | Excellent | High silicon + chromium |
| Oxidation / hot corrosion | Very Good | To about 1204 °C |
| Low-melting compounds (P, V) | Excellent | Resists ash / contaminant attack |
The high silicon content forms a protective silica-rich scale that gives outstanding resistance to sulfidation and chloride attack in both reducing and oxidizing atmospheres, together with excellent resistance to carburization, metal dusting, nitridation, hot corrosion, and attack by low-melting-point phosphorus- and vanadium-bearing compounds — making the alloy well suited to combustion of low-grade fuels and contaminated feedstocks.
A single-phase solid-solution alloy; not hardenable by precipitation. Properties are set by solution annealing.
Anneal Solution anneal at approximately 1175 °C (2150 °F) and rapidly cool (water or rapid air cool) to retain the best balance of properties. The alloy is not strengthened by heat treatment; all hot- or cold-worked parts should be annealed and rapidly cooled.
Good weldability with all common processes except submerged-arc welding (high heat input and slow cooling promote cracking). Welded by gas-tungsten-arc, gas-metal-arc and shielded-metal-arc with matching filler, on clean, solution-annealed material.
| Welding Process | Applicability | Filler / Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| GTAW / TIG | Good | Matching HR-160 filler |
| GMAW / MIG | Good | Matching filler |
| SMAW / stick | Good | Matching electrode |
Weld with matching filler and clean surfaces; submerged-arc welding is not recommended.
