Strong Inconel Alloy 625/UNS N06625 Bar For High Stress Applications In Extreme

Product Specification

Strong Inconel Alloy 625/UNS N06625 Bar For High-Stress Applications In Extreme Environments 

Inconel Alloy 625 (UNS N06625) is a high-performance nickel-based superalloy known for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability. It contains significant amounts of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, providing excellent oxidation and pitting resistance, even in harsh environments like seawater and acidic conditions. This alloy offers superior weldability and is widely used in aerospace, marine, chemical processing, and nuclear industries. It maintains mechanical integrity at temperatures ranging from cryogenic levels to 982°C (1800°F). Inconel 625 bars are commonly utilized in components such as heat exchangers, jet engine exhausts, and turbine seals. Their high strength, non-magnetic nature, and durability make them ideal for extreme applications requiring reliability and longevity.
