UNS N06200 / W.Nr. 2.4675 — Chemical composition, mechanical properties, temperature limits, and corrosion resistance data for engineers and procurement professionals.
Hastelloy C-2000 (UNS N06200 / W.Nr. 2.4675) is a versatile nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with a deliberate addition of copper. It was developed to expand the applicability of the C-family by adding resistance to sulfuric acid while maintaining the excellent resistance to hydrochloric acid and other reducing chemicals typical of Hastelloy C-276. The alloy resists both oxidizing and reducing media, and offers outstanding thermal stability. C-2000 is widely used in chemical processing, pharmaceutical production, and pollution control equipment where process streams may shift between acidic and oxidizing conditions.
The chemical composition of Hastelloy C-2000 is carefully controlled to deliver its unique combination of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability. Trace elements such as carbon, boron, and zirconium are tightly controlled to ensure microstructural consistency and reproducible properties.

Hastelloy C-2000 is supplied in the solution-annealed condition. Annealing is typically performed at 1120 – 1175 °C followed by rapid water quench to retain corrosion resistance and avoid sigma-phase formation.
Price depends on nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and copper market prices, product form, dimensions, quantity, and inspection requirements. Tube and thin-gauge sheet are typically premium products.
Available forms include plates, sheets, seamless and welded pipes/tubes, bars, forgings, fittings, welding wire, strips, fasteners, clad products, and custom fabrications.
Yes. It is readily welded using GTAW, GMAW, and SMAW processes. Matching filler ERNiCrMo-17 is recommended. Low heat input and interpass temperatures below 93 °C help preserve corrosion resistance.
C-2000 offers better sulfuric acid resistance than C-276 due to copper addition, and comparable or better resistance to mixed oxidizing/reducing acids than C-22. It has a wider use window in sulfuric acid processes.
Standard mill products may require 3–6 weeks. Custom sizes and heavy plates can take 6–10 weeks. Minimum order quantities typically start at 100 kg depending on form and size.
C-2000 resists sulfuric, hydrochloric, phosphoric, and hydrofluoric acids, oxidizing and reducing media, chloride pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. It is also suitable for wet process phosphoric acid.
Hastelloy C-2000 can be used in oxidizing atmospheres up to about 1093 °C, though its primary advantage is in aqueous acid service below 200 °C.
Main applications include chemical reactors, pharmaceutical vessels, sulfuric acid heat exchangers, FGD scrubbers, pulp and paper equipment, oil and gas sour service components, and metal pickling systems.
