We are Alloy HX Plate, Alloy HX Sheet, and Alloy HX Strip:  equal with UNS N06002 steel plate suppier

 

Gangsteel Group is a premier global supplier of Alloy HX plate, Alloy HX sheet, Alloy HX strip, Hastelloy X pipe, Hastelloy X round bar, and custom-fabricated components, also known as Hastelloy X or UNS N06002. Despite the term “steel plate” in some contexts, Alloy HX is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum superalloy renowned for its high strength, oxidation resistance, and performance at elevated temperatures up to 2200°F (1204°C).

This guide explores the Hastelloy X composition, Alloy HX material properties, applications, and why Gangsteel is your trusted source for Alloy HX plate, Alloy HX sheet, Alloy HX strip, Hastelloy X pipe, and round bar at competitive Hastelloy X price.

 

1. What is Alloy HX Plate?

 

 

Alloy HX plate, Alloy HX sheet, and Alloy HX strip refer to flat-rolled products made from Hastelloy X (UNS N06002), a wrought nickel-based superalloy developed by Haynes International. Engineered for high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, Alloy HX is strengthened through solid-solution hardening with molybdenum and iron, offering superior performance in gas turbines, aerospace, and industrial furnace applications. Unlike traditional steel, Alloy HX excels in extreme environments, surpassing alloys like Inconel 600 in high-temperature creep resistance. Its excellent formability and weldability make Alloy HX plate ideal for complex assemblies in jet engines and afterburners.

How Does Alloy HX Compare to Hastelloy C22?

Alloy HX plate(UNS N06002) is optimized for high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, while Hastelloy C22 (UNS N06022) excels in corrosion resistance in oxidizing and reducing acids. Hastelloy X is preferred for applications like turbine blades and combustors, whereas C22 material is suited for chemical processing environments. Both alloys offer excellent weldability, but Alloy HX provides superior creep and fatigue resistance at elevated temperatures.
