Hastelloy X per GE B50TF31-A Nickel Alloy
GE B50TF31-A is a GE Aviation specification for Hastelloy X.
HASTELLOY X (UNS N06002) is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy that possesses an exceptional combination of oxidation resistance, fabricability and high-temperature strength. It has also been found to be exceptionally resistant to stresscorrosion cracking in petrochemical applications. X alloy exhibits good ductility after prolonged exposure at temperatures of 1200, 1400, 1600°F (650, 760 and 870°C) for 16,000 hours.

What Is GE B50TF31-A ?
GE B50TF31-A is a spec issued by GE Aviation that lists Hastelloy X, which also has the UNS number N06002, in wrought products that consist of bar, plate, sheet, forging stock, etc. What distinguishes this nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy is its good oxidation resistance, high-temperature strength, and good fabricating characteristics. It has been formulated for components of aero engine and turbine parts that are subjected to harsh conditions of temperature and corrosives.
Applications of HASTELLOY X per GE B50TF31
Hastelloy X can be used in the construction of heat exchangers for power plants and other energy production facilities. Its good corrosion resistance makes it well-suited for use in environments where heat exchangers are exposed to corrosive gases or liquids.
Hastelloy X can also be used in the construction of boiler components, such as tubes and headers, that are exposed to high temperatures and corrosive environments.
The high temperature strength of Hastelloy X makes it well-suited for use in the construction of turbine blades for gas turbine engines.
Hastelloy X can be used in the construction of fuel cells, which are devices that convert chemical energy into electricity. Its corrosion resistance makes it well-suited for use in fuel cells that are exposed to corrosive gases.
Hastelloy X per GE B50TF31-A can be used in the construction of jet engine components, such as blades and vanes, that are exposed to high temperatures and corrosive environments.
