Hastelloy X Supplier & Manufacturer

Hastelloy X (UNS N06002, W.Nr. 2.4665) is a solid-solution strengthened nickel-based superalloy designed for exceptional performance in high-temperature oxidizing environments. The alloy combines high chromium, molybdenum and iron contents to provide an excellent balance of oxidation resistance, fabricability and mechanical strength.

Unlike corrosion-focused Hastelloy grades such as C-276 and C-22, Hastelloy X was specifically developed for gas turbine engines, industrial furnaces and thermal processing equipment where long-term exposure to temperatures above 1000°C is common.

J&A Alloy supplies Hastelloy X in pipe, tube, plate, sheet, bar, wire, flanges, fittings and forgings with full material certification.
