The Nickel Inconel 625 is a non-magnetic nickel-chromium superalloy that features superb corrosion resistance as expected by the presence of the aforementioned transition metals. Moreover, it is very strong and is characterized by the wide range of its fabrication possibilities.
The safe operating temperature range of Nickel Inconel 625 spans from -238℉ (-150℃) to up to 1800℉ (982℃), so it can be used in a wide spectrum of applications that require exceptional corrosion resistance characteristics.
Variable temperatures are not the only thing that the Inconel 625 can withstand, as the same applies for variable pressures and very harsh environments that induce high rates of oxidation. In general, it finds application in sea-water applications, the chemical processing industry, the nuclear energy field, and also the aerospace sector.
As it is evident from the latter especially, the Inconel 625 is also very resistant to cracking, rupture and creeping damage, featuring high tensile strength and extraordinary corrosion versatility.
