Hastelloy is a family of nickel-based corrosion-resistant alloys designed for demanding chemical and industrial environments. Hastelloy C-276 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy offering broad resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments, together with excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Hastelloy B-3 is a nickel-molybdenum alloy developed primarily for reducing-acid environments. It provides excellent resistance to hydrochloric and sulfuric acids together with improved thermal stability compared with earlier B-type alloys.
Hastelloy combines broad chemical resistance, localized-corrosion protection and grade-specific performance for severe industrial fastening environments.
Hastelloy alloys provide reliable resistance across a wide range of aggressive chemical and process environments.
C-276 provides excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-bearing and contaminated process media.
B-3 provides excellent resistance to hydrochloric, sulfuric and other strongly reducing acid environments.
C-276 and B-3 provide different corrosion profiles for mixed chemical media and specialized reducing-acid service.
C-276 and B-3 provide different corrosion-resistant solutions for mixed chemical media and strongly reducing acid environments.

Hastelloy fasteners are available in standard and custom configurations for chemical, acid-processing and highly corrosive industrial applications.
We also manufacture custom and project-specific fasteners according to drawings, specifications or application requirements.
A controlled six-stage production workflow supports consistent manufacturing from reviewed raw material to finished, identified and export-ready specialty-alloy fasteners.
The specified alloy grade, product form, material condition and batch identity are reviewed before cutting. Stock is prepared according to the order and selected manufacturing route.
Bars, rods or forgings are cut to the required blank size while maintaining material separation and batch identification.
Headed fasteners are forged and machined when appropriate, while complex, low-volume or drawing-based components can be produced by precision CNC machining.
Threads are rolled or cut according to material condition, product geometry, dimensional standard and customer requirements.
Solution treatment, annealing, age hardening or other thermal processing is applied only when required by the alloy grade, material condition and governing specification.
Finished parts are deburred, cleaned and prepared as specified, then identified and packed according to order and traceability requirements.
Inspection and documentation are planned around the purchase specification, customer drawing and intended service. The agreed inspection scope is confirmed according to individual project requirements.
Material grade, heat or lot number and incoming documents are checked against the agreed order requirements before production.
Batch identity is maintained through production, inspection and packing so finished parts can be linked to their source material.
Critical dimensions, tolerances and product geometry are checked against the applicable dimensional standard or customer drawing.
Thread size, pitch and fit are verified using suitable gauges and measuring equipment. Additional profile verification can be arranged when specified.
PMI, hardness, tensile or other testing can be performed or arranged when specified, depending on the material, test method and project requirements.
MTC / EN 10204 3.1 documentation, dimensional reports, PMI reports and traceability records can be supplied when specified and applicable.




Inspection methods, sampling plans, acceptance criteria and document requirements should be confirmed before order placement.
Discuss Inspection & Documentation RequirementsOur specialty-alloy fasteners support demanding projects across multiple industries. Final material selection must be based on the actual temperature, corrosion medium, mechanical load, applicable standards and required service life.
Flange bolting, valves, pressure equipment, piping systems and process units exposed to pressure, temperature or corrosive media.
Reactors, heat exchangers, scrubbers, pumps and equipment handling acids, chlorides or other aggressive process media.
Gas and steam turbines, boilers, furnaces, heat-treatment systems and high-temperature mechanical assemblies.
Offshore platforms, seawater systems, marine equipment and desalination installations requiring corrosion-resistant fastening.
Engine, thermal and precision assemblies requiring high strength, temperature capability, low weight or controlled material performance.
Safety-critical bolting and engineered components requiring controlled materials, documentation and reliable long-term performance.
Not every alloy is suitable for every industry or service condition. Material suitability should be confirmed against the governing specification and actual operating environment.
