Wärmebeständiges nahtloses Rohr aus Hastelloy C4

Product Overview

Hastelloy C4 is a premier nickel-base solid-solution alloy modified with titanium stabilization to enhance thermal stability significantly over conventional nickel-molybdenum-chromium grades. Our OD 19mm WT 1.5mm seamless tubing undergoes multiple cold-drawing passes and controlled bright annealing, yielding an ultra-smooth internal bore that minimizes fluid drag, prevents fouling, and guarantees uniform thermal dissipation.

Every tube length is subjected to rigorous internal quality protocols—including 100% digital eddy current testing, hydrostatic pressure verification, and microstructural grain-size evaluation—to verify zero metallurgical discontinuities and precise concentricity for tube-to-tubesheet expansion or orbital welding.

Product Features

Exceptional High-Temperature Thermal Stability: Titanium-stabilized metallurgy prevents the formation of grain-boundary chromium and molybdenum precipitates in the critical 650°C to 1040°C aging zone, ensuring full ductility and corrosion resistance even after hot forming or thermal cycling.
Wide-Spectrum Chemical Resistance: Outstanding resistance to hot contaminated mineral acids (sulfuric, hydrochloric, phosphoric, and nitric acid mixtures), wet chlorine gas, chloride salts, and organic solvents.
Superior Resistance to Localized Attack: High PREN value delivers robust defense against pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in severe condenser cooling waters.
Precise Dimensional Uniformity: Outer diameter (OD 19mm) and wall thickness (WT 1.5mm) are controlled within tight micrometer tolerances, facilitating clean, automated orbital welding and secure roller-expansion into condenser tube sheets.
High Structural Integrity: Annealed condition delivers balanced tensile strength (≥ 690 MPa) and high elongation (≥ 40%), providing structural durability against high-pressure thermal shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why is Hastelloy C4 preferred over Alloy C276 for high-temperature chemical condensers?

A1: While both alloys offer outstanding general corrosion resistance, Hastelloy C4 features titanium stabilization and reduced tungsten/iron levels. This composition minimizes grain-boundary carbide and intermetallic phase precipitation during continuous exposure at 650°C to 1040°C, retaining high ductility and intergranular corrosion resistance in hot condensates.

Q2: What non-destructive inspection methods are implemented on OD 19mm WT 1.5mm tubes?

A2: All DLX Alloy tubes undergo 100% digital eddy current testing for surface and sub-surface flaw detection, hydrostatic pressure testing, ultrasonic wall thickness scanning, and positive material identification (PMI) spectral analysis.

Q3: Can DLX Alloy supply these tubes as pre-formed U-tubes for condenser bundles?

A3: Yes. We provide full U-bending services in accordance with condenser bundle layout drawings, complete with post-bend localized stress-relief annealing and dimensional radius inspection.

Q4: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and packaging standard for international shipment?

A4: We implement dynamic MOQs tailored to specific production campaigns and cut-to-length requirements. Tubes are thoroughly cleaned, end-capped with protective PE plugs, wrapped in moisture-barrier film, and packed into reinforced plywood cases suitable for air, sea, or multimodal container transport.
