A high performace nickel alloy used for severe corrosion environments
Hastelloy B3 flanges deliver the same excellent resistance to hydrochloric acid and other strongly reducing chemicals as other B-alloys (including B2) but with significantly enhanced thermal stability and improved ease of fabrication. In addition, B3 flanges provide great resistance to knife-line and heat–affected zone attack. Like B2 alloy, B3 flanges are not recommended for use in the presence of ferric or cupric salts which can cause rapid corrosion failure.

Hastelloy B3 Flange Chemistry & Specifications
B3 alloy, UNS N10675, is specifically designed to deal with very aggressive hydrochloric acid (HCl), hyrdrobromic acid (HBr) and sulfuric acids (H2SO4) as well as acetic, formic and phosphoric acids. Additionally Hastelloy B3 has improved structural integrity over B2. However B3 has little chromium, and it should NOT be used with oxidizing media in the presence of salts.
