Hastelloy B-2, also known as Alloy B-2, with the UNS designation N10665 and W. Nr. 2.4617, is a solid solution strengthened, nickel-molybdenum alloy, typically containing 65% nickel, 28-34% molybdenum, with significant amounts of chromium, iron, and other elements. It offers excellent resistance to hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures. Additionally, it provides good resistance to reducing environments like sulfuric, acetic, and phosphoric acids. This alloy is particularly well-suited for equipment handling reducing chemical environments.
