Hastelloy X Features
Hastelloy X possesses an exceptional combination of oxidation resistance, formability and high temperature strength.
It has also been found to be exceptionally resistant to stress-corrosion cracking.
Alloy X exhibits good ductility after prolonged exposure at temperatures of 1200, 1400, 1600 °F for 16,000 hours.
It has excellent formability and welding characteristics.
Hastelloy X can be forged and, because of its good ductility, can be cold-worked.
It can be welded by both manual and automatic welding methods including shielded metal-arc (coated electrodes), gas tungsten-arc (TIG), and gas metal-arc (MIG). Alloy X can also be resistance-welded.

Industrial furnace components, support rolls, grids, ribbons and radiant tubes.
Spiral tubes in petrochemical furnaces.
High temperature gas cooling nuclear reactor.
FAQs
Q1: Is Hastelloy X Magnetic?
A: Hastelloy X (UNS N06002) is non-magnetic in the annealed condition. However, cold working may induce slight magnetism from strain-induced martensite. In most cases the magnetism is almost non-existent.
Q2: Is Hastelloy X Precipitation Hardened?
A: No, Hastelloy X is solid-solution strengthened, NOT precipitation hardened.
