Product Overview

What are Hastelloy B3 Washers?

Hastelloy B3 washers are nickel-molybdenum alloy fastener components manufactured from UNS N10675 bar or plate stock conforming to ASTM B333 and ASTM B335. The alloy’s exceptionally high molybdenum content (28.5-31.5%) delivers outstanding resistance to hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and other strongly reducing environments across a wide temperature range, including boiling concentrations.

Unlike earlier B-series alloys, Hastelloy B3 incorporates controlled additions of chromium, iron, and tungsten that virtually eliminate the thermal instability and knife-line attack problems associated with B-2. These washers are specified under ASME pressure vessel codes and NACE MR0175 for critical flange assemblies in chemical processing, pharmaceutical reactors, and acid handling systems where no other commercially available alloy provides equivalent reducing-acid resistance.

Material Chemistry

Hastelloy B3 Chemical Composition

Hastelloy B3 Washers derive their exceptional acid corrosion resistance from a precisely controlled nickel-molybdenum-chromium composition per ASTM. High molybdenum and tungsten content suppresses pitting and reducing-acid attack; ultra-low carbon (0.01% max) eliminates sensitization risk in welded assemblies. Full elemental composition is certified in the EN 10204 MTC supplied with every Hastelloy B3 washers order from RealBolt.

Why Hastelloy B3 Alloy Composition Matters for Washers

Mo (28.5–31.5%) — Reducing Acid Immunity
The ultra-high molybdenum content gives Hastelloy B3 unmatched resistance to hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures, including boiling HCl. Washers in HCl reactor flanges and acid storage vessel nozzles remain dimensionally stable where all stainless grades fail rapidly.
Low C and Si — Thermal Stability Advantage Over B-2
Carbon is held to 0.01% maximum and silicon to 0.10% maximum, eliminating the grain boundary precipitation and knife-line attack that plagued Hastelloy B-2 in the heat-affected zone of welded assemblies. Washers can be used adjacent to welded joints without sensitisation risk.
Cr + Fe + W Additions — Oxidising Upset Tolerance
Small controlled additions of chromium, iron, and tungsten provide a degree of resistance to mildly oxidising upsets — a critical improvement over B-2 — without compromising the primary reducing-acid performance. This makes Hastelloy B3 washers suitable for processes where trace oxidising contaminants may be present.

Industry Applications

Hastelloy B3 Washers Applications — Industries & End Uses

Hastelloy B3 Washers from RealBolt are specified across chemical processing, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and FGD where excellent corrosion resistance and 800 MPa tensile strength are required for reliable fastener performance. Click each industry below for detailed application examples. Select an industry below to see specific Hastelloy B3 washers application details and RealBolt stock availability.
Hastelloy B3 flat washers are the standard specification for flange bolt assemblies in HCl synthesis columns, HCl absorption towers, and muriatic acid storage vessel nozzles. The alloy withstands boiling HCl at all concentrations where no stainless or titanium grade survives. Washers prevent flange face galling and distribute bolt load uniformly on soft gasket materials.
Specified for ASME Section VIII pressure vessel nozzle flange bolt sets in phosphoric acid, acetic acid, and mixed reducing acid reactor closures. Hastelloy B3 washers are used under stud bolt nuts to protect flange faces from corrosion and to maintain consistent clamp load on PTFE and spiral wound gaskets throughout thermal cycling.
Used in high-purity pharmaceutical reactor flange assemblies where contamination from corrosion products is unacceptable. Hastelloy B3 washers provide a corrosion-inert bearing surface under bolt heads and nuts in vitamin, amino acid, and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis vessels handling reducing acid media.
Flat and large-OD washers for structural connections and equipment mounting in steel pickling lines, aluminium anodising tanks, and electroplating bath frames where HCl and H2SO4 splash and vapour attack standard fastener hardware. Hastelloy B3 washers extend maintenance intervals significantly compared to 316L or even 904L alternatives.

Answers for Buyers

Hastelloy B3 Washers — Frequently Asked Questions

Browse expert answers to common questions about Hastelloy B3 Washers from RealBolt — covering acid corrosion resistance, NACE MR0175 compliance, ASTM standards, available sizes, and MTC documentation. Contact our technical team directly for project-specific guidance on Hastelloy B3 washers selection and pricing.
Hastelloy B3 flat washers are manufactured to DIN 125 (normal series), DIN 9021 (large OD series), ISO 7089, and ISO 7093. Inch-series washers are available per ASME B18.21.1 and ASME B18.22.1. Custom OD and thickness combinations are produced to customer drawings for ASME Section VIII pressure vessel and TEMA heat exchanger applications. All dimensional tolerances conform to the applicable standard unless tighter tolerances are specified on the purchase order.
Yes – Hastelloy B3 washers are fully compatible with Hastelloy C-276, C-22, B-2, and 316L stainless steel bolts and nuts in reducing acid service. When pairing with stainless steel fasteners, verify that the stainless grade is adequate for the process environment, as the washer alone cannot compensate for an inadequate bolt material. Avoid pairing with copper alloy fasteners in acid service due to galvanic incompatibility. In mixed-metal assemblies, consult our engineering team for a galvanic compatibility assessment.
In reducing acid environments, Hastelloy B3 washers perform reliably up to approximately 538°C. Above this temperature in oxidising conditions, the alloy’s limited chromium content restricts oxidation resistance. For high-temperature oxidising service above 400°C, Hastelloy C-276 or Inconel 625 washers are more appropriate. Hastelloy B3 is specifically optimised for ambient to moderate-temperature reducing acid applications where its molybdenum content provides unmatched corrosion resistance.
Hastelloy B3 washers supplied in the annealed condition with hardness not exceeding 35 HRC (241 HB) meet the hardness requirements of NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 for use in H2S-containing sour service environments. Each batch is supplied with a hardness survey report. However, Hastelloy B3’s primary application is reducing acid service rather than sour gas service – for dedicated sour service washer applications, Hastelloy C-276 or Inconel 625 are more commonly specified. Contact our technical team to confirm suitability for your specific process conditions.
