Hastelloy C-22 is a nickel-based high-temperature alloy composed of nickel, molybdenum, cobalt, tungsten and other elements. It is an all-around nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy with better overall corrosion resistance than other existing nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys.
C-22 alloy has ideal resistance to reducing and oxidizing environments and can be used in some troublesome environments or in factories for various production purposes. It has an exceptional resistance to various chemical environments, including strong oxidizing substances such as ferric chloride, cupric chloride, formic acid, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, seawater and salt solutions.

Comparison with Hastelloy Alloy C-276
Alloys C-22 and C-276 are both known for their excellent corrosion resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments. However, there are some differences between the two, mainly in application temperature and application environment.
⚑ Applicable Environment
✔ Alloy C-22 has a higher chromium content for better corrosion resistance in oxidizing environments
✔ Alloy C-276 has a higher molybdenum and tungsten content for better corrosion resistance in reducing environments
✔ Alloy C-22 has a wider range of corrosion resistance, especially in wet chlorine, hypochlorite and ferric chloride media
✔ Alloy C276 performs better in environments with strong acids (such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid), especially under high temperature conditions
⚑ Working Temperature
✔ Alloy C-22 is suitable for applications at 676°C [1250°F]
✔ Alloy C-276 is suitable for applications at 1037°C [1900°F]
Therefore, if your application environment involves multiple corrosive media and the operating temperature is relatively low, Hastelloy C22 may be a better choice while Hastelloy C276 may be more suitable if your equipment needs to deal with strong acid corrosion and high operating temperature.
