Metinox Overseas is among the biggest manufacturers and distributor of Hastelloy S (Alloy S) Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum Alloy Flanges, which are specifically designed, but designed to operate in severely cyclical heating, and therefore have exceptional thermal stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, and high oxidation resistance to a high of 1095-C (2000-F) and beyond and yet retains its strength, ductility, and metallurgical integrity after a long-term exposure to high-temperature treatments and in thermal fatigue cycles. Our ASTM B564 UNS N06635 Forged Flanges contain their own proprietary composite based on nickel superalloy with nickel (balance, about 62%), chromium (14.5-17.0%), molybdenum (14.0-16.5%), tungsten (0.3-1.5%), lanthanum (0.005-0.050%), and controlled carbon (0.02% maximum), with a special combination of thermal stability, low thermal expansion, excellent oxidation resistance, and superior high-temperature strength retention after aging.
They are best suited to the most rigorous thermal cycle service up to 1095-C (2000-F), gas turbine engines (seal rings where low thermal expansion is essential), industrial furnace, thermal cycling, chemical processing equipment (temperature changes), petroleum industry (cyclic heating), power generation equipment (thermal fatigue), aerospace (thermal stability) and special purpose high temperature equipment (retention of mechanical properties and microstructural integrity under thousands of heating-cooling cycles), and offer better performance to other nickel alloys in harshly cycling thermal environments.

Yes, Hastelloy S (Alloy S, UNS N06635) is specifically designed as the most preferable nickel-based alloy in applications where severely cyclical heating conditions are involved that offers a unique mix of excellent thermal stability, low coefficient of thermal expansion (important in gas turbine seal rings), excellent oxidation resistance up to 1095-C (2000-F) and excellent retention of strength, ductility and metallurgical integrity to thermal cycling between 425-870-C (800-1600-F). Haynes International designed Hastelloy S to be used in gas turbine seal rings, addressing the crucial concerns of the parts that should not be affected by the changing requirements of the mechanical characteristics and dimensions meeting thousands of rapid heating-cooling cycles.
Hastelloy S has a unique thermal stability due to the specialized composition that consists of balanced chromium (14.5-17%), molybdenum (14.5-16.5%), tungsten (0.3-1.5%) and the special addition of lanthanum (0.005-0.050%). The addition of the lanthanum element is especially important- It greatly improves the ability of the alloy to resist grain growth at high temperatures and is associated with a low thermal expansion coefficient which is characteristic of the alloy. This low thermal expansion (about 13.5 -m/(m-K) at 20-100-C) is critical for gas turbine seal rings that must maintain precise dimensional tolerances across wide temperature ranges.
Hastelloy S has proven itself to be the best in terms of thermal cycling service. The alloy maintains great strength, and ductility following longer periods of aging at temperatures of 425-870-C (800-1600-F). Hastelloy S is able to withstand its metallurgical integrity unlike many nickel alloys which tend to degrade their property or develop microstructural instability through thermal cycling. The thermal stability is such that it is possible to maintain the design properties of components despite many years of cyclic operation with rapid temperature variations.
Hastelloy S is characterized by excellent oxidation resistance of 1095-C (2000-F). Combustion products of No. 2 fuel oil (0.4% sulfur) containing sea salt exhibit superior resistance to hot corrosion, as well as hot oxidation, of the product under extreme thermal shock. The alloy forms a stable oxide scale which is resistant and adherent to thermal cycling instead of being attacked by an accelerated oxidation as is the case in less stable alloys. Oxidation resistance and thermal stability of Hastelloy S make it suitable as a component in gas turbines that work in conditions of combustion.
The reason why Hastelloy S has a critical advantage is that it has better thermal fatigue resistance. Gas turbines and industrial furnaces have components that undergo intense changes in both temperature during start up, operation and shut down. These thermal cycles give rise to thermal stress which may crack materials with low thermal fatigue or with high thermal expansion coefficient. The low thermal expansion coefficient of Hastelloy S reduces the amount of thermal stresses, and its high ductility and stability in the microstructure inhibits the onset and growth of cracks.
Hastelloy S finds a lot of application in the form of seal rings in the gas turbine applications where the low thermal expansion coefficient of the material is of paramount importance. Seal rings of gas turbines have to ensure a high level of accuracy of clearances between rotating components over a broad temperature range. Overspeedy thermal growth would lead to seal ring deformation, clearance loss control, as well as diminished turbine efficiency or physical harm of parts. The dimensional stability of Hastelloy S during thermal cycling provides maximum seal action during the service life of the component.
Hastelloy S is a high fabricable material. Forming can be easily carried out between 1145-C (2100-F) and 871-C (1600-F) on bulk, and finally the remainder of the reduction is done at about 1038-C (1900-F) to 816-C (1500-F). The alloy is well ductile to permit cold working to achieve final dimensional control. GTAW and GMAW methods can be used in welding. Alloy is provided in solution heat-treated state and optional aging treatment may be provided in special cases.
Hastelloy S is used in critical applications where its decisive benefits are needed, such as gas turbine engines (seal rings, components that need to do low thermal expansion and thermal cycling resistance), industrial furnaces with cyclic heating (heat treatment equipment, furnace components with high thermal changes, heat exchangers with thermal changes), petrochemical processing (pyrolysis operations, catalyst regeneration systems), power generation components (thermal cycling service in turbines and boilers), aerospace applications (components that have high thermal fatigue), and waste-to-energy plants (furnace components with severe thermal cycling).
AMS specifications 5711, 5838 and 5873 cover the alloy under different forms and heat treatment conditions of products. ASTM B564 includes forged fittings and forged flanges. The controlled composition and processing allows uniform thermal stability and reduced thermal expansion that is needed in seal ring and thermal cycling applications.
The main factor to consider with Hastelloy S is that, it is a specialty alloy developed to be used in thermal cycling and low thermal expansion and not a universal high-temperature alloy. Other alloys such as Hastelloy X could be more economical than these applications that do not need these particular properties. Nevertheless, in the case of gas turbine seal rings, materials in which dimensional stability is needed when subjected to thermal cycling, and extreme thermal fatigue, Hastelloy S has a combination of properties that is unmatched by typical general-purpose high-temperature alloys at relatively higher cost.
