Hastelloy B2 is a solid solution strengthened nickel-molybdenum alloy with remarkable tolerance to reducing environments such as hydrogen chloride gas, sulfuric acid, acetic acid and phosphoric acid. Molybdenum is the main alloying element that provides significant corrosion resistance to reducing environments. This nickel-steel alloy can be used in the welded state because it prevents the formation of grain boundary carbide precipitations in the welded heat-affected zone.

Hastelloy B-2 has a face-centered cubic lattice structure.
It is widely used in chemical, petrochemical, energy manufacturing and pollution control fields, especially in sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid and other industries. It is not recommended for use in the presence of ferric and copper salts, as these salts will quickly cause corrosion damage. When hydrochloric acid comes into contact with iron and copper, it reacts with them to form ferric and copper salts.
