Product Overview

What are Hastelloy B2 Nuts?

Hastelloy B2 nuts are nickel-molybdenum alloy fasteners manufactured from UNS N10665 bar stock conforming to ASTM B335. The alloy’s exceptionally high molybdenum content (26-30%) delivers outstanding resistance to reducing acids, particularly hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures up to the boiling point – a performance level unmatched by any stainless steel or standard nickel alloy.

Hastelloy B2 nuts are specified under NACE MR0175 for sour-service applications and are widely used in chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and hydrometallurgical plants where concentrated HCl, sulfuric acid, and acetic acid environments demand absolute corrosion immunity. The alloy’s low carbon and silicon content minimises grain boundary carbide precipitation, ensuring consistent corrosion resistance in the as-welded condition.

Material Chemistry

Hastelloy B2 Chemical Composition

Hastelloy B2 Nuts 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 B2 nuts order from RealBolt.

Why Hastelloy B2 Alloy Composition Matters for Nuts

Mo (26–30%) — Reducing Acid Immunity
The exceptionally high molybdenum content gives Hastelloy B2 unmatched resistance to hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures, including boiling HCl — the most aggressive reducing acid environment encountered in chemical processing. Nut threads remain fully intact where stainless steel would dissolve within hours.
Ultra-Low C & Si — Grain Boundary Stability
Carbon is held to 0.02% max and silicon to 0.10% max, dramatically reducing the risk of grain boundary carbide and silicide precipitation during fabrication and welding. Hastelloy B2 nuts maintain full corrosion resistance in heat-affected zones without mandatory post-weld heat treatment.
Chromium-Free Design — Reducing Environment Optimisation
Unlike Hastelloy C276, alloy B2 contains virtually no chromium. This is intentional — chromium provides oxidising acid resistance but offers no benefit in purely reducing acid service. The chromium-free composition maximises molybdenum's effectiveness in HCl, H2SO4, and acetic acid environments where oxidising species are absent.

Hastelloy B2 Nuts 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 B2 nuts application details and RealBolt stock availability.
Hastelloy B2 hex nuts and heavy hex nuts are the standard specification for flanged connections, reactor closures, and heat exchanger channel covers in hydrochloric acid production, regeneration, and handling plants. The alloy withstands HCl at all concentrations up to boiling point – no other commercially available alloy matches this performance. Widely specified by major EPC contractors for HCl synthesis furnace flanges and absorber column nozzle connections.
Hex nuts for reactor vessel closures, agitator shaft glands, and process piping flanges in pharmaceutical API synthesis where acetic acid, formic acid, and mixed reducing acid environments are present. Hastelloy B2 nuts are specified where product purity requirements prohibit the use of lower-grade alloys that may leach corrosion products into the process stream.
Flange nut sets for pressure leach autoclaves, acid wash columns, and steel pickling line equipment operating in hot dilute to concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Hastelloy B2 nuts maintain full thread integrity in immersed acid service where 316L stainless steel nuts corrode within weeks of installation.
Heavy hex nuts for heat exchanger and reactor flanges in HF and H2SO4 alkylation units, crude distillation overhead systems, and amine treating unit piping where reducing acid condensates attack standard austenitic stainless fasteners. Specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service compatibility.

Hastelloy B2 hex nuts are available to DIN 934 (metric standard height), ISO 4032 (style 1), ISO 4033 (style 2 high), and ASME B18.2.2 (inch hex and heavy hex). Heavy hex nuts for ASME B16.5 flange stud bolt sets are supplied per ASME B18.2.2 heavy series. Coupling nuts, lock nuts, and flange nuts are available on request. Custom thread forms including BSW, BSF, and BSPP are available with 15 working day lead time.
Yes – Hastelloy B2 is the premier alloy for hydrochloric acid service. It resists HCl at all concentrations from dilute to concentrated, including at boiling point, where virtually all other alloys including Hastelloy C276 and titanium suffer accelerated corrosion. Hastelloy B2 nuts are specified for HCl synthesis furnace flanges, absorber column connections, and acid regeneration plant piping operating continuously at temperatures up to 120°C in concentrated HCl. The alloy’s 26-30% molybdenum content is the key to this exceptional reducing acid resistance.
No – this is a critical application limitation. Hastelloy B2 is specifically designed for reducing acid environments and performs poorly in oxidising conditions. Even small concentrations of oxidising agents such as ferric ions, cupric ions, dissolved oxygen, or nitric acid in an HCl stream can cause rapid corrosion of alloy B2. For mixed oxidising-reducing acid environments, Hastelloy C276 (UNS N10276) or Hastelloy C22 (UNS N06022) nuts should be specified instead. Always confirm the process chemistry with our engineering team before specifying B2 fasteners.
Use a nickel-based anti-seize compound such as Molykote P-37, Jet-Lube KOPR-KOTE Pure Nickel, or Bostik Never-Seez Pure Nickel Special. Apply to the bolt threads and the nut bearing face before assembly. Reduce torque values by approximately 20% compared to dry assembly values. Never use copper-based or zinc-based anti-seize on Hastelloy B2 nuts – the galvanic potential difference between copper and nickel alloys accelerates corrosion, particularly in acid service environments where the anti-seize compound may be exposed to process leakage.
