Hastelloy C-22 (UNS N06022) — Composition, Properties & Supply
Hastelloy C-22 (UNS N06022) is one of the most oxidation-resistant grades in the Ni-Cr-Mo-W family with 20–22.5% chromium. It performs exceptionally in mixed oxidising/reducing acids, against localised corrosion and at elevated temperature, suiting processes where chemistry fluctuates.

What are the key characteristics of Hastelloy C-22?
- Higher chromium than C-276 gives better oxidising and mixed-acid resistance
- PREN around 65 — extremely high pitting and crevice resistance
- Good thermal stability; resists harmful phase precipitation after welding or hot forming
- Handles wet chlorine, chlorine dioxide and oxidising salt solutions
Where is Hastelloy C-22 used?
- FGD systems and flue-gas scrubbers
- Mixed acid (nitric/hydrofluoric) pickling lines
- Nuclear waste treatment and fuel reprocessing
- Agrochemical and fine-chemical reactors
- Pharmaceutical equipment and clean piping
Which standards and specifications cover Hastelloy C-22?

Frequently asked questions
What is the PREN of Hastelloy C-22?
Using PREN = %Cr + 3.3×(%Mo + 0.5×%W) + 16×%N with Cr 21%, Mo 13% and W 3% gives roughly 21 + 3.3×14.5 ≈ 69. With the simplified formula, engineering values land around 64–69 — comfortably above Inconel 625 (about 51) and comparable to or slightly above C-276.
