1. Although a super alloy, Hastelloy experiences degradation due to fabricating and handling. 2. Electropolishing or passivation of Hastelloy can improve corrosion resistance. 3. Hastelloy ), and pre-drying the gas also helps to minimize corrosion.4. Suitable metals for equipment handling boron trifluoride include stainless steel, monel, and hastelloy . 5. It also included preparation of standards for Hastelloy -N procurement and for component fabrication. 6. This cracking could be reduced by adding small amounts of niobium to the Hastelloy -N. 7. The higher valence fluorides are quite corrosive at high temperatures and require more resistant materials than Hastelloy . 8. At the same time a program was launched to improve the resistance of Hastelloy -N to the embrittlement. 9. These two elements were chosen as the main portion of Hastelloy -N, the material of the MSRE. 10. Some modern superalloys, such as incoloy, inconel, and hastelloy , may consist of a multitude of different elements.
