ASTM B443 UNS N06625 inconel 625 nickel alloy steel plate sheet coil
Inconel 625 is a nickel-based superalloy with excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, in conditions ranging from jet engine propulsion systems to chemical processing of oxidizing and reducing acids. The nickel-chromium matrix of Inconel® 625 is reinforced by the addition of molybdenum and niobium, which is alloyed through solid solution strengthening, and this allows it to maintain high strength and toughness at temperatures ranging from cryogenic up to 2000°F (1093°C). It is non-magnetic, austenitic, and displays high tensile strength, fabricability, and brazeability. Due to its high nickel content, this alloy is nearly immune to chloride ion stress-corrosion cracking and pitting, which is commonly found in metals in seawater applications like heat exchangers, fasteners, and cable sheathing.
Alloy UNS N06625 products are furnished in two grades of different heat-treated conditions:
Grade 1 (Annealed)—Material is normally employed in service temperatures up to 1100°F (593°C).
Grade 2 (Solution Annealed)—Material is normally employed in service temperatures above 1100°F (593°C) when resistance to creep and rupture is required.
NOTE: Hot-working or reannealing may change properties significantly, depending on working history and temperatures.
