Quick Answer: What Is Hastelloy HYBRID-BC1?

Hastelloy HYBRID-BC1 (UNS N10629) is a "hybrid" nickel alloy combining the hydrochloric-acid resistance of the B-series (high Mo) with the oxidizing-media tolerance of the C-series (chromium addition) — the first commercial alloy to bridge the traditional B/C gap. With 28% molybdenum and 6% chromium, it resists HCl even with dissolved oxidizing species (Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, O₂) that would destroy standard B-2/B-3, while maintaining resistance to oxidizing acids better than any B-series alloy. Shanghai Hangbo Alloy Group supplies HYBRID-BC1 as round bars, seamless tubes, and plates.

Industry Pain Point: HCl acid regeneration (AR) plants face the "trace-oxidizer dilemma": process HCl routinely contains 50-500 ppm Fe³⁺ from corroded piping, and B-2/B-3 alloys — brilliant in pure HCl — suffer catastrophic localized attack when the acid contains even trace oxidizing species. C-276 tolerates the oxidizers but corrodes 5-10x faster than B-series in the acid itself. HYBRID-BC1 was developed by Haynes specifically for this real-world chemistry: B-series HCl resistance with sufficient chromium to passivate against trace oxidizers.

Product Overview

The Hastelloy HYBRID-BC1 is a metallurgical innovation that resolved a 50-year trade-off in nickel alloy design. The B-series (Ni-Mo) alloys are the only practical materials for pure HCl but are catastrophically attacked by oxidizing species. The C-series (Ni-Cr-Mo) handles oxidizers but corrodes much faster in pure reducing acid. Users had to choose between the two — until Haynes designed a composition that deliberately sits at the boundary:

  • 28% Molybdenum: Provides B-series-class resistance to hydrochloric acid and other strong reducing acids.
  • 6% Chromium: The "hybrid" bridge — sufficient chromium to form a protective passive film when oxidizing species (Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, dissolved O₂, chlorine) are present in the acid, without the high-chromium penalty that accelerates attack in pure HCl.
  • Balanced Fe + W: Fine-tuning of the matrix for corrosion resistance and fabricability.

Shanghai Hangbo Alloy Group supplies HYBRID-BC1 in bars, tubes, and plates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is HYBRID-BC1 used for?

HCl regeneration plants, HCl synthesis coolers, and any process handling hydrochloric acid contaminated with oxidizing species (Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, O₂, Cl₂).

Q2: What makes it "hybrid"?

28% Mo (B-series HCl resistance) + 6% Cr (C-series oxidizer tolerance) -- the first alloy to bridge the two families.

Q3: HYBRID-BC1 vs B-2/B-3?

B-2/B-3 fail with trace oxidizers in HCl; HYBRID-BC1 survives. In pure HCl, all three are equivalent.

Q4: HYBRID-BC1 vs C-276?

C-276 tolerates oxidizers but corrodes 5-10x faster in HCl itself. HYBRID-BC1 is the better acid material.

Q5: Is it weldable?

Yes, with matching filler (ERNiMo-7 type modified).

Q6: What is the price?

$70-110/kg EXW. Contact sales@hangboalloy.com.

Q7: Product forms?

Bars (6-200mm), tubes (OD 10-219mm), plates (3-50mm). SGS available.

Q8: What heat treatment?

Solution annealing at 1065-1095°C, rapid cool.

Q9: Is it magnetic?

No -- fully austenitic.

Q10: What is the density?

9.14 g/cm3.

Q11: Does Shanghai Hangbo ship internationally?

Yes -- FOB/CIF/DAP to 40+ countries.

Q12: What standards apply?

ASTM B333 (plate), B335 (bar), B622 (tube), B619 (welded pipe).

Q13: Can it replace B-2 directly?

Yes, with better real-world performance -- B-2's oxidizer sensitivity is eliminated.

Q14: What is the max service temperature?

~400C for continuous service.

Q15: Why is it called HYBRID-BC1?

"B" = B-series HCl chemistry; "C" = C-series chromium tolerance; "1" = first generation.
