Question 1

Where are Hastelloy Shims required instead of stainless steel?

Accepted Answer

Hastelloy Shims are required in the workers of wet chlorine gas, sulfur dioxide and the concentration of chloride solutions. The shims are used to give corrosion protection in tight fissions as well as crevices of valves and flanges where weaker alloys quickly pit and fail.

Question 2

Why is the non magnetic nature of Hastelloy Shims critical for certain applications?

Accepted Answer

The low magnetic permeability means that Hastelloy Shims will not affect the magnetic field or sensitive equipment, e.g. sensors and control systems. This is essential in alignment of aerospace, defense and specialty oil and gas downhole tools.

Question 3

Do Hastelloy Shims remain stable after welding or heat exposure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the composition of the alloy does not allow the formation of harmful phases and inhibits the sensitization of the heat affected area of thin material. This enables Hastelloy Shims to be welded and maintain tight tolerances without turning brittle or distorting in high service temperatures.
