Inconel HX®, also known as Hastelloy X® is a nickel- chromium- iron- molybdenum alloy with great resistance to oxidation. Inconel HX® is used for components such as combustion chambers, tail pipes in aircraft and land-based gas turbine engines, fans and rollers in industrial furnaces. Inconel HX® is available as bar, rod, billet, extruded section, plate, sheet, strip, wire, pipe, and tube. The alloy's oxidation resistance is outstanding up to 2200º F. For hot forming, the alloy should be heated to a starting temperature of 2150°F (1175°C). Inconel HX® can be welded by metal arc, gas-tungsten- arc, gas-metal-arc, and submerged arc processes.

Available forms are seamless pipe, welded pipe, seamless tube, welded tube, bar, wire, sheet, plate, forgings, pipe fittings and flanges.
