Hastelloy balls are resistant to strong oxidizing agents such as free chlorine and aqueous solutions of ferric and cupric salts.
Hastelloy exhibits excellent resistance to the following types of acids:
- Acetic
- Formic
- Hydrochloric
- Hydrofluoric
- Nitric
- Phosphoric
- Sulfuric
Hastelloy is highly resistant to mixtures of zinc and ammonium chlorides. It is also used extensively in check valves where resistance to corrosion and wear is critical.
