Possible Alternative Grades

Alternative GradeWhy Choose This Over Inconel 625 / Alloy 625
Inconel 718Higher strength and fatigue resistance at high temperatures, ideal for aerospace.
Incoloy 800More cost-effective with better oxidation resistance at high temperatures.
Hastelloy C-276Better resistance to pitting and stress corrosion in aggressive environments.
Monel 400Lower cost and great resistance to seawater, ideal for marine use.
Incoloy 825Best for handling acidic environments, especially sulfuric and phosphoric acids.
Hastelloy B-3Excellent resistance to hydrochloric acid at high temperatures.
Alloy 20Great for sulfuric acid resistance in chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Inconel 600Cheaper, with good resistance but not as strong at high temperatures as Inconel 625.
Hastelloy C-22Superior resistance to a wide range of acids and alkalis.
Titanium Grade 2Lighter and corrosion-resistant, but not as heat-resistant as Inconel 625.

Technical Data Sheet

Corrosion Resistance

  • Excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments, including:
    • Aqueous Solutions: Sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and chlorides.
    • Oxidizing Environments: High-temperature oxidation and carburization.
    • Reducing Environments: Strong reducing agents and high-temperature applications.
  • High resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking.
  • Suitable for: Chemical processing, marine environments, aerospace applications, and oil & gas industries.

Thermal Properties

  • High-temperature strength: Maintains mechanical properties at elevated temperatures up to 980°C (1800°F).
  • Creep Resistance: Excellent creep strength for prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
  • Thermal Stability: Stable microstructure over a wide temperature range, minimizing phase transformations.

Fabrication and Welding Information

  • Fabrication: Easily fabricated using standard techniques for stainless steels.
    • Cutting: Plasma cutting, laser cutting, or waterjet cutting recommended.
    • Forming: Can be formed by hot or cold working; annealing recommended to relieve stresses.
  • Welding:
    • Methods: Suitable for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), and other common welding processes.
    • Filler Materials: Matching or compatible filler metals such as ERNiCrMo-1.
    • Preheat/Postheat: Generally not required, but preheating may be beneficial in thick sections to avoid cracking.
    • Weldability: Good weldability with proper technique and filler selection.

Heat Treatment

  • Solution Annealing:
    • Temperature: 980°C – 1130°C (1800°F – 2075°F)
    • Procedure: Heat to specified temperature, hold for adequate time, and rapidly cool (water or air).
  • Age Hardening (Precipitation Hardening):
    • Temperature: 700°C – 900°C (1300°F – 1650°F)
    • Procedure: Heat after solution annealing, hold to form precipitates, then cool.
  • Effects:
    • Solution Annealing: Enhances ductility and homogenizes the microstructure.
    • Age Hardening: Increases strength and hardness through precipitation of secondary phases.

Applications

Customized Package

Effective packaging solutions are crucial for preserving the quality of stainless steel sheets during transportation. The image showcases neatly stacked sheets wrapped in green protective covers and secured with strong straps, ensuring they remain intact.

Oil-Coated Paper

Secure packaging plays a vital role in maintaining the quality and integrity of metal pipes during storage and transportation. The image illustrates pipes wrapped in durable protective material to prevent surface damage and corrosion.

Thick Woven Plastic Bag

Efficient packaging ensures the safe transportation of stainless steel and alloy tubes. The image displays robust wooden crates used to secure and protect the tubes, minimizing damage during transit.

Air Cushion Film + Wooden Case

At Alloyxpert

  • Sheets and plates are wrapped in oil-coated paper for corrosion protection, placed on wooden pallets, and strapped securely to prevent shifting during transport.
  • Bars and rods are bundled together using thick woven plastic bags and carefully packed, ensuring each bundle weighs no more than 1500 KG for safe handling.
  • Tubes and pipes are packed in air cushion film to protect them from dirt and scratches. For added protection, they are placed in wooden cases to prevent damage during transit.
