What Alloy 625 is
Alloy 625 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-columbium alloy strengthened by solid solution, so it delivers high strength without heat treatment and holds it from cryogenic temperatures to about 1800 degrees F. The chromium and molybdenum give it pitting and crevice corrosion resistance comparable to C-276 in many environments, and it is immune to chloride stress corrosion cracking.
