Ni-HX Spherical Powder Description:
Hastelloy X powder is a high-performance nickel-based superalloy powder known for its exceptional properties. It exhibits outstanding high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, making it suitable for use in environments up to 1200°C (2200°F). The alloy's excellent resistance to carburization and nitridation and its resistance to stress-corrosion cracking enhance its durability in harsh conditions. Additionally, Hastelloy X powder is highly formable and weldable, allowing for easy fabrication of complex components. These characteristics make it ideal for aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, and industrial applications where both high-temperature stability and corrosion resistance are critical.
