Products / Nickel Alloys

Alloy 625, strength and corrosion resistance in one alloy.

Nickel, 21% chromium, 9% molybdenum, and 3.6% columbium. Alloy 625 pairs the pitting and crevice resistance of a superalloy with a 60,000 psi yield strength in the annealed condition, no age hardening required. Seawater, sour gas, flue gas, and jet engines all use it.

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.
