Hastelloy B3 Wire for Hydrochloric Acid-Resistant Pump Components
Our Hastelloy B3 wire is a total beast for hydrochloric acid-resistant pump components, 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 and reliability are critical. Whether it’s springs, seals, or mesh reinforcements for pumps in chemical plants, this wire keeps your systems running strong.
What makes Hastelloy B3 wire 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 pump components in chemical processing, where equipment needs to withstand harsh acidic conditions to ensure safe and efficient operations. This wire fights off pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, keeping your pumps leak-free with minimal maintenance.
This wire’s versatility is a major win. It’s stable up to 760°C, which is great for pump components in moderate-heat environments, like those in acid production or petrochemical facilities. Its low electrical conductivity (~1.5% IACS) is handy for applications where electrical isolation matters, and its high strength ensures it holds up under mechanical stress. From fertilizer plants to pharmaceutical production, Hastelloy B3 delivers.
We love how workable this wire is, even with its complex alloy makeup. You can coil, weave, or weld it into whatever your pump component design needs—think precision springs or durable seals. Need a specific diameter, strength, or finish? We can tailor it to fit your specs, ensuring smooth fabrication and keeping your project on track.
The chemical processing industry’s all about materials that are durable, efficient, and sustainable, and Hastelloy B3 wire checks every box. It’s recyclable, which is awesome for eco-friendly projects, and its long lifespan means less waste from replacements. With global demand for specialty chemicals, green fuels, and acid-based products growing, Hastelloy B3’s acid resistance is more critical than ever. Its low maintenance aligns with the trend toward cost-effective, sustainable operations.

Compared to other materials, our Hastelloy B3 wire is a clear winner. Hastelloy B2 is great for acids but less stable during fabrication and prone to pitting. Stainless steel 316 is tough but struggles with strong acids like hydrochloric, unlike B3. Monel 400 is corrosion-resistant but lacks B3’s effectiveness in reducing acid environments. Our wire is the go-to for hydrochloric acid-resistant pump components.
