- Hastelloy B3 Flanges and Fittings
Hastelloy B3 Flanges and Fittings
The primary function of the Hastelloy B-3 alloys is to survive under high-stress, high-temperature applications; the chief benefit of Hastelloy B-3 is its ability to resist hydrochloric acid at all temperatures and concentrations. This alloy also resists other vigorously corrosive agents extremely well.
