From the heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, Hemi Metals has established a strong reputation for delivering robust and highly specialized metal solutions. Our focus on precision and reliability is perfectly exemplified in our range of Hastelloy B2 forgings. We understand that operating in challenging environments demands materials of exceptional quality, which is why we meticulously oversee the production of these components, ensuring they meet the rigorous standards required for some of the most demanding industrial applications worldwide.
The composition of Hastelloy B2 is specifically designed for resilience, primarily comprising nickel and molybdenum, which gives it an outstanding resistance to hydrochloric acid at various concentrations and temperatures. This unique makeup translates directly into impressive mechanical properties, offering high tensile strength and excellent ductility. Essentially, it’s a material that is built to withstand significant stress and harsh chemical exposure without compromising its structural integrity, making it a trusted choice for critical components.

To determine if Hastelloy B2 forgings meet your needs, evaluate their resistance to corrosion in aggressive chemical environments and their mechanical properties at the operating temperature. Perform tests such as tensile, impact, and corrosion resistance tests for assurance.
The forging process for Hastelloy B2 typically takes several hours, depending on the complexity of the part and the size of the material. It includes heating, shaping, cooling, and any necessary post-forging treatments.
The ideal temperature range for forging Hastelloy B2 is between 2,100°F and 2,300°F (1,149°C to 1,260°C). This range ensures optimal material flow and avoids excessive grain growth.
The unique characteristics of Hastelloy B2 forgings make them indispensable in fields where failure is not an option. You’ll find them at the core of chemical processing equipment, such as reactors, valves, and pumps that handle aggressive acids. They are also vital in the pharmaceutical industry for maintaining pure processes and in pollution control systems. Essentially, wherever extreme corrosion is a constant threat, these forgings provide the durable, long-lasting performance needed to ensure operational safety and continuity.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
