AWS ERNiMo-7 / UNS N10665 — Welding wire specifications, parameters, and applications for nickel alloy fabrication.
Hastelloy B-2 (AWS ERNiMo-7) is a nickel-molybdenum welding wire for welding Hastelloy B-2 and B-3 alloys. Provides excellent resistance to hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures. Low carbon and iron content minimizes carbide precipitation.

| Gas Flow Rate | 8-15 L/min | 15-25 L/min |
| Wire Diameter | 1.6-3.2 mm | 0.8-1.6 mm |
| Current Type | DCEN | DCEP |
| Welding Position | All positions | Flat / Horizontal |
Hastelloy B-2 welding wire is used in a wide range of demanding applications:

Values above are typical for as-welded Hastelloy B-2 (ERNiMo-7) deposited metal under AWS A5.14 classification requirements. Actual results vary with welding process, heat input and shielding gas.
Follow these practical guidelines to obtain sound, corrosion-resistant welds with this filler metal:
No. B-2 has almost no chromium, so it performs poorly in oxidising acids. For nitric acid service see our nitric acid alloy selection guide.
Extended time between roughly 550°C and 850°C precipitates intermetallic phases that sharply reduce ductility and corrosion resistance, so low interpass temperatures are essential.
Yes. For concentrated hydrochloric acid and certain catalyst systems it remains the most cost-effective choice. See Hastelloy B-2 acid resistance.
AWS ERNiMo-7 / UNS N10665: nickel balance with about 26-30% molybdenum and very low carbon, iron and chromium.
AWS A5.14 (ERNiMo-7), ISO/EN 18274 (S Ni 1066) and DIN 1736 (SG-NiMo28).
TIG wire 1.6-3.2 mm, MIG spools 0.8-1.6 mm and SAW coils 2.4-4.0 mm.
Pure argon for GTAW; argon with helium or CO2 additions for GMAW.
Hydrochloric acid equipment, vacuum furnace components and high-purity pharmaceutical systems.
Limiting iron and carbon minimizes carbide and intermetallic precipitation, preserving corrosion resistance in the heat-affected zone.
