Hastelloy CNC Spin Forming

In the realm of metalworking, precision and innovation are paramount. Altron, a leader in advanced manufacturing technologies, has unveiled its groundbreaking Hastelloy CNC Metal Spin Forming Technology, revolutionizing the industry. It can meet the needs of various fields from aerospace to medical device manufacturing.

One of the many advantages of metal spinning, besides its quality and consistency.

is its ability to form parts from a wide variety of materials. Using a variety of standard and exotic metals and alloys.

Hastelloy is considered a specialty metal for projects where other conventional metals cannot withstand strength and resistance to environmental factors.

Material Specifics

Hastelloy is a group of corrosion-resistant alloys known for their exceptional performance in harsh environments.

This type of alloy has high strength and excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical corrosion. It is very suitable for demanding applications in industries such as aerospace, chemical processing and marine engineering.

Hastelloy is an extremely corrosion-resistant nickel alloy composed of different elements such as chromium, iron, cobalt, copper, molybdenum and manganese. There are 22 different types of Hastelloy alloys.

Material Characteristics

Hastelloy alloys have more than twenty different elements, each alloy has different specific properties depending on its elemental composition.

Hastelloy alloys are often referred to as high-performance alloys.

In these severe environments, Hastelloy can exceed some of the limitations of stainless steel.

Hastelloy also has good processing characteristics, thermal stability; and is extremely resistant to acids such as sulfuric acid and water.

These attributes make it an ideal choice for harsh chemical processing and aerospace applications.

Hastelloy X

Hastelloy X is highly valued in the aerospace industry for its temperature, oxidation, and carburization resistance. X-Alloy resists stress cracking due to oxidation and maintains its ductility at temperatures up to 1600°F.

An excellent choice for engine turbines, exhaust pipes and other aircraft components.

Hastelloy X also finds use in many high-temperature industrial applications, including chemical processing and furnace operations. Mufflers, baffles, and tubing are all commonly made from Hastelloy X due to its unparalleled resistance properties.

The Hastelloy X alloy is highly responsive to hot forming, although machining requires special precautions regarding tooling and temperature regulation. Despite this limitation, the material is workable given a skilled team.

Hastelloy X can be heat treated by solution heat treatment;
Annealing at lower temperatures will reduce the strength and ductility of the material.

At Helander, we possess the appropriate expertise and equipment required to work with Hastelloy X.

Hastelloy C276

Hastelloy C276 is one of the most popular corrosion-resistant alloys because of its great versatility. C276 is not only resistant to corrosion in oxidizing and reducing environments.

Unlike comparable alloys, Hastelloy C276 resists precipitation and corrosion at welded joints that might otherwise be susceptible to damage.

Hastelloy C276 components rarely suffer from pitting and cracking, which are common in chemical processing plants.

Hastelloy C276 is machinable, with hot forming and cold spinning processes optional. Work hardening must be avoided and it can be welded using standard processes.
