Incoloy® 825 (also known as Inconel® Alloy 825) is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum and copper, designed for outstanding resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments. The alloy provides protection against reducing and oxidizing acids, stress corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion, and so-called pitting corrosion (aggressive attack by combinations of chemicals).
This versatile corrosion resistance makes Incoloy® 825 suitable for aggressive chemical processes in various sectors.
Incoloy® 825 offers exceptional resistance to sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, organic acids, alkalis, and chloride-containing media. The molybdenum enhances resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, while copper provides protection in reducing acids. The nickel component prevents stress corrosion, especially in chloride environments.
The alloy retains its mechanical properties in both low and high-temperature applications and demonstrates excellent structural stability. Due to its good workability, the material is suitable for welding, bending, and other industrial processes.
Incoloy® 825 is often chosen where conventional stainless steels fall short due to their limited acid resistance.
Incoloy® 825 is widely used in chemically aggressive environments where acid resistance, durability, and safety are essential. Examples of applications include:
Chemical processing of acids such as sulfuric and phosphoric acid
Oil and gas pipelines and components
Equipment for acid production and pickling processes
Equipment for nuclear fuel reprocessing
Heat exchangers, pipelines, and tanks in corrosive installations
Due to its wide chemical resistance, Incoloy® 825 is a popular choice for process industries where corrosive media and high reliability are central.
Incoloy® 825 / Inconel® Alloy 825 is the ultimate solution for applications where strong corrosion resistance and structural durability converge.
