Inconel 625 Applications
What is Inconel 625?
Inconel Alloy 625 is a non-magnetic, corrosion and oxidation resistant, nickel-chromium alloy. The high strength of Inconel 625 is the result of the stiffening combination of molybdenum and niobium on the nickel chromium base of the alloy. Inconel 625 has tremendous resistance to a wide range of unusually severe corrosive environments including high-temperature effects such as oxidation and carburization. Its outstanding strength and toughness in temperature ranges from cryogenic temperatures to high temperature up to 2000° F (1093° C) are derived primarily from the solid solution effects of the refractory metals Columbium and molybdenum in a nickel-chromium matrix. Nickel chromium alloy 625 has excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, high corrosion-fatigue strength, high tensile strength as well as resistance to stress corrosion cracking to chloride ions — making it an excellent choice for sea-water applications. Inconel is used in aerospace applications as well as marine applications. Common applications for this alloy are springs, seals, bellows for submerged controls, electrical cable connectors, fasteners, flexure devices, and oceanographic instrument components.

Finishes
#1 - Hot rolled annealed and descaled. It is available in strip, foil and ribbon. It is used for applications where a smooth decorative finish is not required.
#2D - Dull finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. Used for deep drawn parts and those parts that need to retain lubricants in the forming process. #2B - Smooth finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. A light cold rolling pass is added after anneal with polished rolls giving it a brighter finish than 2D.
#BA- Bright annealed cold rolled and bright annealed
#CBA- Course bright annealed cold rolled matte finish and bright anneal
#2 - Cold Rolled
#2BA- Smooth finish produced by cold rolling and bright annealing. A light pass using highly polished rolls produces a glossy finish. A 2BA finish may be used for lightly formed applications where a glossy finish is desired in the formed part. Polished - Various grit finish for specific polish finished requirements.
* Not all finishes are available in all alloys - Contact Ulbrich Sales for more information.
Wire Finishes
XC - Extra Clean Bright Annealed or Bright Annealed and Cold Rolled Grease - Ultra bright finish (for decorative applications) Soap - Soap coating on tempered wire to act as lubricant. * Contact Wire Sales for custom wire finishes.
Heat Treatment
lnconel® 625 cannot be hardened heat treating.
