NK12400 Hastelloy C-22 Reducer

Hastelloy C-22 Reducer Description

Hastelloy C-22, a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy, exhibits enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in aggressive chemical environments. Its controlled microstructure, achieved through thermomechanical processing, provides consistent mechanical properties that support stable performance under load. The reducer's design minimises reactive surface exposure, which benefits applications requiring prolonged service intervals and maintenance of fluid integrity in industrial systems.
