Hastelloy X 丨 UNS N06002

Hastelloy X, also known as UNS N06002, is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum superalloy. This alloy has outstanding oxidation resistance possesses exceptional strength at elevated temperatures, and is one of the most widely used nickel-base superalloys for gas turbine engine components. Molybdenum enables this alloy to be hard, strong, and suitable for welding applications. Alloy X is non-magnetic and has high strength up to 1500°F (816°C), good oxidation resistance up to 2200°F (1204°C), and good formability and machinability.
