Hastelloy C-2000 alloy is a new type of Ni-Cr-Mo corrosion-resistant alloy introduced at the end of the 20th century. The difference from 00Cr23Ni59Mol6 alloy is the addition of Cu. The addition of Cu improves the ability of the alloy to resist the reduction of acidic media, especially the ability to withstand sulfuric acid corrosion. Since Cu has a function of promoting the precipitation of the phase, the intergranular corrosion resistance of the alloy is not as good as that of the Hastelloy C-2000 alloy.
Chemical composition and organizational structure
The chemical composition of Hastelloy C-2000 alloy is shown in Table 8-7. In the solid solution state, the alloy is a face-centered cubic 7-phase structure. There is a precipitated phase under sensitization conditions, and the interphase phase P phase is slightly more than that of the Hastelloy C-2000 alloy.

Corrosion resistance
A general corrosion
In the reducing medium such as H2SO4, HCl acid and HF acid, the uniform corrosion resistance of this alloy is similar to that of other Ni-Cr-Mo alloys. The composite action of Mo and Cu makes it more resistant to corrosion by reducing medium (Fig. 8-55). The Cr content of this alloy w (Cr) = 23% ensures its corrosion resistance in oxidizing medium. It has a unique corrosion resistance in a reducing medium containing iron ions, copper ions or dissolved oxygen.
B intergranular corrosion
The intergranular corrosion resistance of this alloy is equivalent to Hastelloy C-276 alloy, but not to alloy59, see Table 8-71 and Table 8-72. The short-time sensitization data is shown in Figure 8-67. Under the sensitization conditions of more than lh, under the test conditions of ASTM G-28A, C-2000 has better intergranular corrosion resistance than C-276, C-22 and 686 alloys, and less than alloy 59. Under the ASTM G-28B test conditions, its resistance to intergranular corrosion is only equivalent to C-276 alloy, lower than C-22, 686 and Alloy 59.
Under short-time sensitization conditions, C-2000′s resistance to intergranular corrosion is significantly better than C-276, C-22 and 686 alloys, but not as good as Alloy 59.

Density: 8.50 g/cm3; linear expansion coefficient thermal conductivity (room temperature): 9.1 W/(m • K); resistivity (room temperature): 1.28 uΩ• m.
Primarily used in chemical processing equipment and components where both oxidized and reductive corrosive media exist, such as reactors, heat exchangers, valves, pumps, and fasteners. It has excellent corrosion resistance in HF acid, so it is more suitable for the environment of HF acid production and use of fluoride-containing catalysts.
