Hastelloy G-3 Wire Description
Alloy G3 has excellent corrosion resistance to oxidizing chemicals and atmospheres while offering resistance to reducing chemicals resulting from the nickel and copper content. The high molybdenum provides very good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The low carbon helps prevent sensitization, giving the alloy resistance to inter-granular corrosion.
Applications
Components used in handling equipment that processes reducing acids such as phosphoric and sulfuric
Components usedin the productions of sour gas and oil

Properties Tempered
Alloy G-3 can be cold rolled to achieve the temper properties required by specific customers and/or manufacturing requirements. Contact Ulbrich Wire for details.
Additional Properties
Corrosion Resistance
Refer to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations.
Standard Wire Finishes
Extra Clean: (XC) Extra clean is also referred to as “bright annealed” or “bright annealed and cold rolled”
Grease (round wire only): Drawn in a heavy grease produces an “Ultra bright” finish for decorative applications
Soap (round wire only): Soap is used as a lubricant in the drawing process and is not removed. It acts as a lubricant during customer part forming operation. A soap finish is available in tempered products.
Plated: Many plating options are available.
∗Special finishes are available: Contact Ulbrich Wire Sales with special finish and plating requests.
Forms:
Continuous Coils
Cut to lengths
Precision cutting
Heat Treatment
Alloy G-3 is non hardenable by heat treatment.
