Features: Hastelloy B-3 has outstanding resistance to hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures. It also resists sulfuric, phosphoric, formic, acetic acids and other non-oxidizing media. It has excellent resistance to pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and knife line and weld heat-affected zone attack. Hastelloy B-3 has greater thermal stability than Hastelloy B-2.
Applications: Hastelloy B-3 is suitable for the applications where Hastelloy B-2 is required. Like Hastelloy B-2, Hastelloy B-3 should not be used in the presence of ferric or cupric salts as these salts may cause rapid corrosion.
