Hastelloy X Wire (UNS N06002, ASTM B572)
Product Introduction
Hastelloy X (UNS N06002, W.Nr. 2.4665, AMS 5754, ASTM B572) is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum solid solution strengthened high-temperature alloy. It is a "weld-friendly" candidate among high-temperature alloys. It does not pursue the maximum strength, but achieves an ultimate balance between oxidation resistance, thermal fatigue resistance and machinability.
For high-temperature components that require welding complex thin-walled structures, such as the combustion chamber flame tubes of aircraft engines and muffle canisters of industrial furnaces, Hastelloy X is an industry standard that has been proven over decades.
Typical applications include:
Aerospace: Gas turbine combustor flame tubes, transition ducts, fuel injectors, flame stabilizers, afterburners, tailpipes
Industrial furnaces: Furnace rollers, muffle cans, catalyst support grids, radiant tubes, heat treatment fixtures
Petrochemicals: Hydrocarbon cracking pipes, flash dryer components, stress corrosion cracking resistant fasteners
Nuclear power: Reactor internals, high-temperature fasteners
Machining and Welding
We typically supply Hastelloy X in solution-treated condition as the standard delivery condition, which is probably one of the easiest to weld among all high-temperature alloys.
1. Welding – No preheating, no post-heat treatment
2. Cold forming – Work hardening similar to austenitic stainless steel
3. Hot working – Above 1177℃, ensuring heat penetration
4. Heat treatment – Solution treatment is key
5. Machining – Annealed state dries easily, spring-tempered state is more costly to machine tools

Standards/Grades
When you're looking for Hastelloy X-cables, you need to confirm that these details match:
ASTM B572 (Core Standard for Bars/Wires)
AMS 5754 (Aerospace Grade Bars/Wires Specification)
AMS 5798 (Aerospace Grade Welding Wire/Fill Metal Specification)
UNS N06002 (Most Common Unified Number)
W.Nr. 2.4665 (German Standard Number)
Technical Consultation Prior to Quotation
We have compiled a summary of key technical parameters regarding Hastelloy X-points frequently discussed during past inquiries and procurement orders-to facilitate rapid quotation.
Diameter: 0.05mm to several millimeters
Condition: Annealed (soft, for customer-made molding/welding) or Tempered spring (high strength, ready to use)
Surface: Bright, pickled
Certification Requirements: Does it come with AMS 5754 certification? Is it for use in aero-engines?
Condition Selection Recommendations:
Requires self-winding of springs or making welded structural components → Annealed (good plasticity, easy to process)
Using pre-made springs and fasteners directly → Tempered spring (strength 200 ksi min)
This is the most common pitfall-the strength difference between annealed and tempered springs is nearly double; be sure to confirm this when purchasing.
