Luois Metals stands out as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of **Hastelloy B2 Forgings**, proudly based in Houston, USA. We focus on providing high-performance nickel-molybdenum alloy forgings that are built to endure tough reducing environments. Known for its exceptional resistance to hydrochloric acid, hydrogen chloride, and other harsh chemicals, Hastelloy B2 is a go-to choice. At Luois Metals, we deliver precision-engineered forgings in various shapes and sizes, all crafted to meet the highest standards of corrosion resistance, mechanical integrity, and long-lasting reliability, even in the most challenging industrial settings.
When it comes to composition, **Hastelloy B2 Forgings** are primarily made up of nickel (around 69%) and molybdenum (28–30%), with just trace amounts of iron and other alloying elements to maximize corrosion resistance. This alloy excels at resisting pitting, stress corrosion cracking, and knife-line attack, particularly in welded conditions. Hastelloy B2 not only maintains impressive mechanical strength and thermal stability but also offers good ductility and formability. Its capability to withstand a broad spectrum of non-oxidizing acids makes it the perfect material for forging intricate components used in the chemical and petrochemical sectors.

To determine if Hastelloy B2 forgings meet your needs, evaluate their resistance to corrosion in aggressive chemical environments and their mechanical properties at the operating temperature. Perform tests such as tensile, impact, and corrosion resistance tests for assurance.
The forging process for Hastelloy B2 typically takes several hours, depending on the complexity of the part and the size of the material. It includes heating, shaping, cooling, and any necessary post-forging treatments.
The ideal temperature range for forging Hastelloy B2 is between 2,100°F and 2,300°F (1,149°C to 1,260°C). This range ensures optimal material flow and avoids excessive grain growth.
These forgings find their place in the construction of reactor vessels, pump and valve components, heat exchangers, and piping parts that face highly corrosive environments. Industries like chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, waste treatment, and pickling operations rely on **Hastelloy B2 Forgings** for their durability and corrosion resistance. Luois Metals provides these forgings in custom shapes and heat-treated conditions tailored to meet specific application requirements, all supported by complete traceability and certification in line with international standards.






We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
