Oil futures tumbled more than $5 a barrel on news that the Biden administration is considering releasing about 1 million barrels a day from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) for several months to cool surging crude prices.

Brent crude futures were down $4.71, or 4.2 percent, at $108.58 a barrel by 0035 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures fell $5.45, or 5 percent, to $102.74 a barrel.

At an earlier time, gasoline prices had already reached record levels because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The prices of other commodities like the Hastelloy X alloy are also expected to be volatile.

What is GH3536 superalloy (Hastelloy X alloy)

GH3536 (Hastelloy X alloy) is a nickel-based superalloy with high iron content mainly solid solution strengthened by chromium and molybdenum. It has good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and has moderate durability and creep below 900 ℃. Strength, cold and hot workability and good weldability. Used in the manufacture of combustion chamber parts and other high-temperature parts of aero-engines, long-term use below 900 °C, and short-term operating temperature can reach 1080 °C. The main varieties supplied are plates, strips, pipes, bars, forgings, rings and precision castings.

GH3536 (Hastelloy X alloy) process performance and requirements

GH3536 (Hastelloy X alloy) formability alloy has good cold and hot forming properties. Forging heating temperature 1170℃±10℃, final forging temperature not lower than 950℃; slab hot rolling heating temperature 1150℃±10℃, final rolling temperature not lower than 850℃; ring hot rolling heating temperature 1170℃±10℃ .

GH3536 (Hastelloy X alloy) welding performance This alloy has good welding process performance, and can be welded by argon arc welding, seam welding and spot welding. HGH3536 or HGH3113 wire is recommended for argon arc welding.

The microstructure of the alloy in the solid solution state is an austenite matrix with a small amount of TiN and M6C carbides. After long-term aging at 700～900℃, the main precipitation phases are M12C and M3B2, accompanied by trace μ phase and L phase. After aging at 700℃ for 200h, a small amount of σ phase appeared, but after aging at 800℃, the σ phase did not exist, and a small amount of M23C6 was precipitated, and sometimes a small amount of L phase appeared. Therefore, the alloy exhibits a certain degree of age hardening after long-term aging, which reduces the plasticity and the high temperature strength.
