Alloy 625 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy which is used for its high strength and excellent corrosion
resistance. Alloy 625 exhibits excellent strength and toughness at temperatures ranging from cryogenic, up to 1100C.
This material is a solid solution strengthened alloy and is normally supplied in one of two heat treatment conditions:
Grade 1 Annealed
Grade 2 Solution Annealed
Alloy 625 is widely used in a variety of high-temperature aerospace, chemical process industry and power industry
applications. The corrosion resistance of this alloy means that it is used for components where exposure to sea water
and high mechanical stresses are required. Also in oil and gas production where hydrogen sulphide and elementary
sulphur exist at temperatures in excess of 150C.
Forging
Forging temperature for this material should be 1180oC maximum.
Reheat as often as necessary and cool in still air.
Heat Treatment
Grade 1 Annealed at 871C minimum.
Grade 2 Solution Annealed at 1093C minimum.
Machining
Alloy 625 can be machined by conventional means. However, the alloy tends to work harden ahead of cutting so
low cutting speeds and rigid tooling are general recommendations.
Welding
Alloy 625 is readily welded using conventional processes and procedures.
