Hastelloy G-30 (UNS N06030) is a nickel-chromium alloy, alloyed with iron and molybdenum, specifically designed for operation in highly aggressive industrial environments. Its composition provides excellent resistance in concentrated phosphoric acid (P₂O₅), used in the chemical industry. EV Group China technologists confirm its outstanding resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which is a critical factor for chemical production equipment.

A high chromium concentration (up to 31.5%) forms a stable passive film on the alloy surface, providing exceptional resistance in oxidizing environments, particularly in nitric acid. Alloying with molybdenum and tungsten significantly increases resistance to localized corrosion and expands the application range to reducing environments, including solutions of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids.

Physical Constants and Processing Aspects
The calculated density of Hastelloy G-30 material at room temperature is 8.22 g/cm³.
G-30 alloy has excellent weldability with all standard arc welding methods (TIG, MIG). To prevent the formation of intermetallic phases, which reduce corrosion resistance and ductility, EV Group China technologists insist on minimizing heat input and strictly adhering to subsequent heat treatment regimes. All wrought semi-finished products are supplied in an austenitized (quenched) condition to ensure a homogeneous microstructure and maximum corrosion resistance.
The technological regulation for Hastelloy G-30 alloy heat treatment provides for solid solution annealing at a temperature of 1177°C (2150°F) with mandatory rapid cooling (water quenching or forced air quenching) to fix the austenitic structure. Hot plastic deformation, including forging, should be carried out in the temperature range from 1149°C (2100°F) to 927°C (1700°F).
