Hastelloy B-3 Wire Description
Hastelloy B-3 Wire exhibits exceptional resistance to hydrochloric acid across all concentrations and temperatures, ranging from ambient to high levels. Additionally, it demonstrates resilience against sulfuric, acetic, formic, and phosphoric acids, as well as other non-oxidizing media. B-3 is highly resistant to pitting corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking. However, it is not recommended for use in the presence of ferric or cupric salts.
