In the demanding world of high-performance materials, Inconel 625 Pipes & Tubes have earned a reputation for exceptional durability, strength, and resistance to aggressive conditions. Whether it's aerospace, marine, or chemical processing, this nickel-based alloy is engineered to perform where others fail.
What is Inconel 625?
Inconel 625 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy known for its impressive strength and corrosion resistance. Designed for extreme pressure and heat, this alloy maintains its integrity even in the most hostile environments.
Key Composition Highlights:
-
Nickel (58% min)
-
Chromium (~20–23%)
-
Molybdenum (~8–10%)
-
Niobium (~3.15–4.15%)
These elements work together to give Inconel 625 its excellent mechanical properties and superb resistance to a wide range of corrosive media.
