Inconel® Alloy 625

Properties of Inconel® Alloy 625

Inconel® 625 offers an impressive balance of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of processing. The addition of molybdenum and niobium strengthens the alloy through solid solution hardening, meaning that high strength is achieved without the need for age hardening.

The alloy withstands a wide range of oxidative and reducing chemical environments, including acids, salts, and seawater. Particularly, its resistance to localized attacks such as pitting and crevice corrosion is exceptionally strong. Additionally, Inconel® 625 retains its properties over a broad temperature range, from cryogenic to approximately 980°C.

Its excellent weldability also makes the material suitable for complex structures and demanding applications in challenging sectors.

Applications of Inconel® Alloy 625

Inconel® Alloy 625 is widely used in industries where mechanical reliability and chemical resistance are required under severe conditions. Typical applications include:

• Chemical processing equipment

• Aerospace components

• Marine engineering and offshore structures

• Environmental technology and pollution control equipment

• Nuclear reactor components

Thanks to the versatility and durability of the alloy, Inconel® 625 is a favored material in sectors that rely on long lifespan and minimal maintenance costs.

Inconel® Alloy 625 is the alloy of choice for applications that must withstand extreme chemistry, temperature, and mechanical stress.
