    9. Production Process & Quality Control

    JIADE Group’s Hastelloy B3 alloy material is produced via a 10-step process with strict quality control at each stage, ensuring consistent performance and purity. Below is the detailed production flow:

    1. Raw Material Selection & Inspection

      Source high-purity raw materials: nickel (99.99%), molybdenum (99.95%), cobalt (99.9%), and other elements. Each batch is tested for chemical composition (via OES) and impurity content (e.g., S ≤0.01%, P ≤0.005%) to meet ASTM standards.

    2. Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM)

      Melting raw materials in a vacuum induction furnace (1500-1600℃) to avoid oxidation and gas absorption (e.g., O₂, N₂). The molten alloy is stirred uniformly to ensure chemical composition homogeneity.

    3. Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR)

      Remelt the VIM ingot in a vacuum arc furnace to refine the microstructure, eliminate shrinkage pores and inclusions. This step improves the alloy’s density (≥8.8 g/cm³) and mechanical properties.

    4. Hot Forging

      Heat the VAR ingot to 850-1100℃ and forge it into intermediate billets (for plates/tubes) using hydraulic presses (up to 10,000 tons). Forging reduces grain size and improves structural uniformity.

    5. Hot Rolling (for Plates/Tubes)

      For plates: Roll the billet at 900-1050℃ to the desired thickness, with multiple passes to ensure even thickness (tolerance ≤±0.1mm).
      For tubes: Use the piercing-rolling process to produce seamless tubes, followed by hot drawing to adjust diameter and wall thickness.

    6. Cold Working (if needed)

      For precision components (e.g., thin wires, small-diameter tubes), perform cold drawing or cold rolling at room temperature. This step improves dimensional precision and surface finish (Ra ≤1.6μm).

    7. Solution Annealing & Rapid Cooling

      Heat the alloy to 1150-1200℃ (holding time based on thickness: 1 hour per 25mm) and quench it in water or air to dissolve precipitated phases (e.g., carbides) and form a single-phase solid solution, enhancing corrosion resistance and ductility.

    8. Precision Machining

      Use CNC machines with carbide tools to machine the alloy into final products (e.g., reactor flanges, turbine blades). Machining parameters are optimized to avoid work hardening (cutting speed: 50-100 m/min, feed rate: 0.1-0.3 mm/rev).

    9. Comprehensive Quality Testing

      Conduct 10+ tests:

      • Chemical composition: OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry)
      • Mechanical properties: Tensile test, hardness test, impact test
      • Microstructure: Metallographic analysis (grain size ≥ASTM 5)
      • Non-destructive testing: UT (ultrasonic), RT (radiographic), PT (penetrant)
      • Corrosion resistance: Immersion test in 37% HCl at 100℃

      Only products with 100% pass rate proceed to the next step.

    *JIADE Group’s production base covers 50,000 m² with an annual capacity of 5,000 tons of Superalloy Material, ensuring on-time delivery even for large orders (≥100 tons).
