Inconel 625

Alloy 625 (UNS N06625)

INCONEL 625 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with an addition of niobium. The addition of molybdenum acts with the niobium to stiffen the alloy matrix, providing a high strength without a strengthening heat treatment. The alloy resists a wide range of corrosive environments and has a good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Alloy 625 is used in chemical processing, aerospace and marine engineering oil & gas, pollution control equipment and nuclear reactors.

Characteristics

  • Excellent mechanical properties at both extremely low and extremely high temperatures.
  • Outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and intercrystalline corrosion.
  • Almost complete freedom from chloride induced stress corrosion cracking.
  • High resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures up to 1050C.
  • Good resistance to acids, such as nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric and hydrochloric, as well as to alkalis makes possible the construction of thin structural parts of high heat transfer.

 

Applications

  • Components where exposure to sea water and high mechanical stresses are required.
  • Oil and gas production where hydrogen sulfide and elementary sulfur exist at temperature in excess of 150C.
  • Components exposed to flue gas or in flue gas desulfurization plants.
  • Flare stacks on offshore oil platforms.
  • Hydrocarbon processing from tar-sand and oil-shale recovery projects.
