Hastelloy C-22 can be used in conjunction with Hastelloy C-276 to prevent joint corrosion. Its composition is nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten, giving it some of the resistance that is characteristic of C-276. The metal is excellent against overall and localized corrosion, along with chemical, oxidation, and reducing environments. Tests in environments containing wet chlorine and nitric acid have also proved that Hastelloy C-22 shows exceptional resistance. However, one unique characteristic is its weldability, which allows the metal to be used as a filler in many cases where other metals have failed to stop corrosion. These characteristics make Hastelloy C-22 commonly applied in chemical productions for food and beverages and pharmaceutical tools.
