Hastelloy W is a nickel-molybdenum-chromium solid-solution-strengthened superalloy developed primarily as a filler metal for welding dissimilar alloys. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.
Developed primarily as a filler metal, Hastelloy W displays excellent dissimilar-welding characteristics and is widely used for joining dissimilar solid-solution-strengthened nickel alloys in the gas-turbine and aerospace industries. Its high molybdenum content provides solid-solution strength and good resistance to reducing media, while the chromium addition contributes oxidation resistance; the low carbon content minimises grain-boundary precipitation, so reliable welds can be made without post-weld heat treatment. The properties of dissimilar weld joints made with alloy W depend on the alloys being joined but are generally acceptable for a wide variety of combinations. It is supplied in the solution heat-treated condition.
Typical applications include filler metal for gas-metal-arc and gas-tungsten-arc welding of dissimilar nickel alloys and stainless steels in gas-turbine, aerospace and chemical-process industries, and a limited number of wrought ring-type components in older gas-turbine engines.

Confirm against the mill test report. As a filler metal, the alloy's value lies in the integrity of dissimilar weld joints rather than wrought-product strength.
| Environment | Performance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Reducing media | Good | High molybdenum content |
| High-temperature oxidation | Good | Chromium-bearing |
| Dissimilar weld-joint service | Very Good | Wide variety of nickel-alloy combinations |
| Radiation exposure | Good | Suitable for some nuclear applications |
| Strong oxidizing acids | Moderate | Lower chromium than C-type alloys |
The high molybdenum content gives good resistance to reducing media, while the chromium addition provides oxidation resistance; the alloy is most valued for the soundness and general acceptability of the dissimilar weld joints it produces rather than for service as a primary corrosion-resistant alloy.
A single-phase solid-solution alloy; not hardenable by precipitation. Properties are set by solution annealing.
Solution Anneal Solution anneal at approximately 1175 °C (2150 °F) and rapidly quench (water or rapid air cool) to dissolve secondary phases and retain a uniform structure. The alloy is not strengthened by heat treatment; cold work raises strength.
Excellent dissimilar-welding characteristics; this is the alloy's primary purpose. Used as filler metal for gas-metal-arc and gas-tungsten-arc welding of dissimilar solid-solution-strengthened nickel alloys and stainless steels. The low carbon content minimises grain-boundary precipitation, so welds are reliable without post-weld heat treatment.

The alloy is itself a filler metal (AWS A5.14 ERNiMo-3); welds are reliable without post-weld heat treatment.
