The superalloy Hastelloy G30 (trademark of Haynes International, Inc.) is an alloy with a high proportion of nickel, characterized by a high corrosion resistance in environments containing extra oxidizing acids. The alloy consists essentially of 43% of nickel with a proportion of chromium which varies from 28 to 31.5% and from 13 to 17% for iron. Its matrix is austenitic and its structure is face-centered cubic. The objective of this work is to treat the alloy G30 thermally at 4 different temperatures 700 °C, 800 °C, 900 °C and 1000 °C for 3 hours. Indeed, we followed the progression of structural and mechanical properties. The micro structural evolution influence slightly on the mechanical properties of the alloy G30: hardness of the alloys treated at 700 °C and 800 °C is equal to 46 HRF and that of the alloys treated at 900 °C and 1000 °C is 46.25 HRF. The images obtained by optical microscopy revealed the presence of carbides at the joints and inside the grains .The X-ray diffraction spectra obtained after the isothermal treatments showed the presence of peaks of the precipitates and the peaks of the austenite phase.
