Hastelloy B-3 Strip for Hydrochloric Acid-Resistant Tank Cladding
Our Hastelloy B-3 strip is a total powerhouse for hydrochloric acid-resistant tank cladding, built to handle the toughest chemical environments without breaking a sweat. This nickel-molybdenum alloy, with about 65% nickel, 28% molybdenum, and a touch of chromium, iron, and cobalt, is our go-to for applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Whether it’s cladding for storage tanks, linings for reactors, or structural supports in acid processing systems, this strip keeps your equipment protected and running smoothly.

What makes Hastelloy B-3 strip stand out is its incredible ability to resist corrosion in hydrochloric acid, as well as other reducing acids like sulfuric and phosphoric. It’s perfect for tank cladding in chemical processing, fighting off pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking to ensure your tanks stay leak-free with minimal maintenance. This strip keeps your operations safe and efficient, even in the harshest acid environments.
This strip’s versatility is a big win. It’s stable up to 760°C, which is great for tank cladding in moderate-heat settings, like those in acid production or petrochemical plants. Its low thermal conductivity (~10 W/m·K) helps with thermal management, and its high strength ensures it holds up under mechanical stress. From fertilizer manufacturing to pharmaceutical processing, Hastelloy B-3 delivers.

Compared to other materials, our Hastelloy B-3 strip is a clear winner. Hastelloy B-2 is great for acid resistance but less stable during fabrication and more prone to pitting. Stainless steel 316 is tough but struggles with strong acids like hydrochloric, unlike B-3. Monel 400 is corrosion-resistant but doesn’t match B-3’s performance in reducing acid environments. Our strip is the go-to for hydrochloric acid-resistant tank cladding.
We craft our Hastelloy B-3 strip to meet strict standards like ISO 9001, ensuring quality you can trust every time. Whether you’re cladding tanks for acid storage or linings for chemical reactors, this strip’s ready to perform. Got a unique spec in mind? Let us know, and we’ll make it happen.
