HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy
Principal Features
A copper-bearing Ni-Cr-Mo material with exceptional resistance to sulfuric acid
HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy (UNS N06200) is unique among the versatile nickel-chromium-molybdenum materials in having a deliberate copper addition. This provides greatly enhanced resistance to sulfuric acid. It also has a high chromium content, to maximize its resistance to oxidizing chemicals and process streams contaminated with ferric ions and dissolved oxygen.
Like other nickel alloys, it is ductile, easy to form and weld, and possesses exceptional resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride-bearing solutions (a form of degradation to which the austenitic stainless steels are prone). It is able to withstand a wide range of oxidizing and non-oxidizing chemicals, and exhibits outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice attack in the presence of chlorides and other halides.
HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy is available in the form of plates, sheets, strips, billets, bars, wires, pipes, tubes, and covered electrodes. Typical chemical process industry (CPI) applications include reactors and heat exchangers.

Iso-Corrosion Diagrams
Each of these iso-corrosion diagrams was constructed using numerous corrosion rate values, generated at different acid concentrations and temperatures. The blue line represents those combinations of acid concentration and temperature at which a corrosion rate of 0.1 mm/y (4 mils per year) is expected, based on laboratory tests in reagent grade acids. Below the line, rates under 0.1 mm/y are expected. Similarly, the red line indicates the combinations of acid concentration and temperature at which a corrosion rate of 0.5 mm/y (20 mils per year) is expected. Above the line, rates over 0.5 mm/y are expected. Between the blue and red lines, corrosion rates are expected to fall between 0.1 and 0.5 mm/y.
Comparative 0.1 mm/y Line Plots
To compare the performance of HASTELLOY C-2000 alloy with that of other materials, it is useful to plot the 0.1 mm/y lines. In the following graphs, the lines for C-2000 alloy are compared with those of C-22 alloy, C-276 alloy, 625 alloy, 254SMO alloy, and 316L stainless steel, in hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. Note the superiority of C-2000 alloy in hydrochloric acid at concentrations up to 10%, and in sulfuric acid at concentrations up to 80%. The hydrochloric acid concentration limit of 20% is the azeotrope, above which corrosion tests are less reliable.

Resistance to Pitting and Crevice Corrosion
HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy exhibits high resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice attack, forms of corrosion to which the austenitic stainless steels are particularly prone. To assess the resistance of alloys to pitting and crevice attack, it is customary to measure their Critical Pitting Temperatures and Critical Crevice Temperatures in acidified 6 wt.% ferric chloride, in accordance with the procedures defined in ASTM Standard G 48. These values represent the lowest temperatures at which pitting and crevice attack are encountered in this solution, within 72 hours. For comparison, the values for 316L, 254SMO, 625, C-276, and C-2000® alloys are as follows. Note that C-2000® alloy exhibits higher resistance to crevice attack than even C-276 alloy.

Other chloride-bearing environments, notably Green Death (11.5% H2SO4 + 1.2% HCl + 1% FeCl3 + 1% CuCl2) and Yellow Death (4% NaCl + 0.1% Fe2(SO4)3 + 0.021M HCl), have been used to compare the resistance of various alloys to pitting and crevice attack (using tests of 24 hours duration). In Green Death, the lowest temperature at which pitting has been observed in C-2000 alloy is 100°C. In Yellow Death, C-2000® alloy has not exhibited pitting, even at the maximum test temperature (150°C).The Critical Crevice Temperature of C-2000® alloy in Yellow Death is 95°C.
Resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking
One of the chief attributes of the nickel alloys is their resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. A common solution for assessing the resistance of materials to this extremely destructive form of attack is boiling 45% magnesium chloride (ASTM Standard G 36), typically with stressed U-bend samples. As is evident from the following results, the three nickel alloys, C-276, C-2000 and 625, are much more resistant to this form of attack than the comparative, austenitic stainless steels. The tests were stopped after 1,008 hours (six weeks).

316L | 2 h |
254SMO | 24 h |
625 | No Cracking in 1,008 h |

Corrosion Resistance of Welds
To assess the resistance of welds to corrosion, Haynes International has chosen to test all-weld-metal samples, taken from the quadrants of cruciform assemblies, created using multiple gas metal arc (MIG) weld passes. Predictably, the inhomogeneous nature of weld microstructures leads generally to higher corrosion rates (than with homogeneous, wrought products). Nevertheless, HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy exhibits excellent resistance to the key, inorganic acids, even in welded form, as shown in the following table:

Welding and Fabrication
HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy is very amenable to the Gas Metal Arc (GMA/MIG), Gas Tungsten Arc (GTA/TIG), and Shielded Metal Arc (SMA/Stick) welding processes. For matching filler metals (i.e. solid wires and coated electrodes) that are available for these processes, and welding guidelines, please click here.
Wrought products of HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy are supplied in the Mill Annealed (MA) condition, unless otherwise specified. This solution annealing procedure has been designed to optimize the alloy’s corrosion resistance and ductility. Following all hot forming operations, the material should be re-annealed, to restore optimum properties. The alloy should also be re-annealed after any cold forming operations that result in an outer fiber elongation of 7% or more. The annealing temperature for HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy is 1149°C (2100°F), and water quenching is advised (rapid air cooling is feasible with structures thinner than 10 mm (0.375 in). A hold time at the annealing temperature of 10 to 30 minutes is recommended, depending on the thickness of the structure (thicker structures need the full 30 minutes). For more details concerning the heat treatment of HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy, please click here.
HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy can be hot forged, hot rolled, hot upset, hot extruded, and hot formed. However, it is more sensitive to strain and strain rates than the austenitic stainless steels, and the hot working temperature range is quite narrow. For example, the recommended start temperature for hot forging is 1232°C (2250°F) and the recommended finish temperature is 954°C (1750°F). Moderate reductions and frequent re-heating provide the best results, as described here. This reference also provides guidelines for cold forming, spinning, drop hammering, punching, and shearing. The alloy is stiffer than most austenitic stainless steels, and more energy is required during cold forming. Also, HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy work hardens more readily than most austenitic stainless steels, and may require several stages of cold work, with intermediate anneals.
While cold work does not usually affect the resistance of HASTELLOY® C-2000® alloy to general corrosion, and to chloride-induced pitting and crevice attack, it can affect resistance to stress corrosion cracking. For optimum corrosion performance, therefore, the re-annealing of cold worked parts (following an outer fiber elongation of 7% or more) is important.
