Nickel-chromium-molybdenum-niobium alloy strengthened primarily by solid solution.
Material gradeNickel Alloy Grades
/ 01 — TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
Inconel® 625 (UNS N06625)
Nickel and nickel-based alloys are selected for severe corrosion, high-temperature oxidation, reducing or oxidising chemicals, seawater and specialised process duties. Each alloy has a distinct chemistry and operating envelope; the exact UNS designation and product specification should always be stated.
Nickel-chromium-molybdenum-niobium alloy combining high strength with excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and severe environments.
The correct material depends on more than corrosion resistance alone. Temperature, pressure, chloride exposure, chemistry, erosion, fabrication route, weldability, mechanical strength, product form, code requirements and lifecycle cost should be reviewed together. Final grade selection remains with the customer’s qualified engineer, designer or material specialist.
How it is made
01
High-purity raw materials are melted and refined to the specified UNS chemistry.
02
The ingot is remelted where required and hot worked into billet, slab or forging stock.
03
Rolling, extrusion, drawing, forging or machining creates the ordered product form.
04
Solution annealing or age hardening is completed according to alloy and product specification.
05
Surface conditioning, NDT, dimensional inspection and heat-wise certification complete the supply.
