Nickel Alloy Alloy 22 vs Hastelloy C-2000
Nickel Alloy · grade comparison
Nickel Alloy Alloy 22 and Hastelloy C-2000 are both nickel alloy grades. Alloy 22 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 400 MPa (58 ksi) against 355 MPa (51.5 ksi) for Hastelloy C-2000, about 13% more; tensile strength follows at 800 MPa (116 ksi) vs 760 MPa (110 ksi). Alloy 22 is harder — 200 HB against 175 HB for Hastelloy C-2000 — which matters for wear surfaces and threads.
Alloy 22Choose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
Alloy 22 vs Hastelloy C-2000: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all nickel alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

Alloy 22 vs Hastelloy C-2000 — frequently asked
Is Alloy 22 stronger than Hastelloy C-2000?
Yes. Alloy 22 has a typical yield strength of 400 MPa (58 ksi) against 355 MPa (51.5 ksi) for Hastelloy C-2000 — about 13% more. Tensile strength is 800 MPa (116 ksi) vs 760 MPa (110 ksi).
Which is cheaper, Alloy 22 or Hastelloy C-2000?
Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$$, high); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.
When should I choose Alloy 22 over Hastelloy C-2000?
Pick Alloy 22 when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
