Hastelloy C-2000 Product Description

Overview

Hastelloy C-2000 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum corrosion-resistant alloy with a deliberate copper addition. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.

Introduced in 1995, Hastelloy C-2000 is unique among the versatile nickel-chromium-molybdenum materials in containing a deliberate copper addition, which together with its high molybdenum content gives greatly enhanced resistance to sulfuric acid and other reducing media. Its high chromium content maximises resistance to oxidizing chemicals and to process streams contaminated with ferric ions and dissolved oxygen, so the alloy performs well in both reducing and oxidizing environments — extending corrosion resistance across both regimes rather than being optimised for one. It is ductile, easy to form and weld, has exceptional resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking, and offers pitting and crevice resistance comparable to or better than C-276. It is a single-phase, solid-solution alloy supplied in the solution-annealed condition.

Typical applications include chemical-process reactors, heat exchangers, valves and pumps handling mixed and contaminated acids, sulfuric and hydrochloric acid service, desalination, and marine equipment.

1. Physical Properties

Property Value Unit
Density 8.50 g/cm³
Melting range 1330–1400 °C
Elastic modulus 207 GPa
Coefficient of thermal expansion (20–100 °C) 12.4 µm/m·°C
Thermal conductivity (20 °C) 8.6 W/m·K
Specific heat (20 °C) 428 J/kg·K
Structure Austenitic (FCC), single phase

2. Chemical Composition (wt %)

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Nickel Ni Balance Base element; reducing-media resistance
Chromium Cr 22.0 24.0 Oxidizing-media / pitting resistance
Molybdenum Mo 15.0 17.0 Reducing-media / crevice resistance
Copper Cu 1.30 1.90 Enhanced sulfuric-acid resistance
Iron Fe 3.0 Residual
Cobalt Co 2.0 Residual
Manganese Mn 0.50 Deoxidiser
Carbon C 0.010 Very low; minimises carbide precipitation

3. Mechanical Properties

Solution-annealed condition, typical values for UNS N06200.

Condition Property Value
Solution annealed Tensile strength (UTS) ≥690 MPa (100 ksi)
Solution annealed 0.2% yield strength ≥310 MPa (45 ksi)
Solution annealed Elongation at break ≥45 %
As-welded Corrosion resistance Retained (low carbon)
Elastic modulus 207 GPa

Confirm against the mill test report. The very low carbon content preserves corrosion resistance in the weld heat-affected zone.

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Sulfuric acid Excellent Copper + molybdenum; key advantage
Reducing acids (HCl, HF) Excellent High molybdenum
Oxidizing acids / ferric, cupric ions Excellent High chromium (23%)
Pitting / crevice corrosion Excellent Equal or better than C-276
Chloride stress-corrosion cracking Excellent High nickel content

The combination of high chromium, high molybdenum and a copper addition gives outstanding resistance across both oxidizing and reducing media — including sulfuric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids, and oxidizing streams with ferric or cupric ions — making it one of the most versatile corrosion-resistant alloys available.

5. Heat Treatment

A single-phase solid-solution alloy; not hardenable by precipitation. Properties are set by solution annealing.

Solution Anneal Solution anneal at approximately 1120 °C (2050 °F) and rapidly quench (water or rapid air cool) to dissolve secondary phases and retain maximum corrosion resistance. The alloy is not strengthened by heat treatment; cold work raises strength.

6. Weldability and Joining

Excellent weldability; readily welded by the gas-tungsten-arc and gas-metal-arc processes with matching filler (ERNiCrMo-17), and used in the as-welded condition owing to its very low carbon content. No post-weld heat treatment is normally required.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Excellent Matching C-2000 filler (ERNiCrMo-17)
GMAW / MIG Good Matching filler
SMAW / stick Good Matching electrode (ENiCrMo-17)

Weld with matching filler and clean surfaces; the alloy may be used as-welded without post-weld heat treatment.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Machinability Difficult; work-hardens, rigid setups, sharp tooling
Speeds Slow speeds, positive feeds, no dwelling
Coolant Ample coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming Good; similar to C-276; work-hardens
Hot forming 1010–1175 °C; solution anneal afterward
