Inconel 625: Properties, Applications

Inconel 625:

Inconel 625 is a high-strength nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with excellent strength, temperature tolerance, and corrosion resistance. Inconel 625 bolts are primarily used in cyclic cooling and heating applications. When it comes to electric resistance welding, they come in handy. The bolts are used in the engine casing, honeycomb structures, and hydraulic lines. Ananka Fasteners is a leading supplier and manufacturer of Inconel Fasteners in various types and sizes. Pitting and crevice corrosion are not issues with this material.

Inconel 625 Fasteners are measured according to DIN, ASTM, BS, and other international standards. M3 to M56 are available, as well as 3/6 inch to 2 inch and custom sizes. Depending on the application, the lengths vary from 3mm to 200mm. Bolts and nuts made of Alloy 625 Fasteners are available in a range of shapes and sizes for different applications.

Inconel 625 Properties:

1. Chemical Composition: Ni: 58–71% , Cr: 21–23%, Mo: 8–10 %, Fe: 5 %, Nb + Ta: 3.2–3.8 %, Co: 1 % max, Mn: 0.5% max, Al: 0.4% max.    
2. Exceptional Material Strength: Inconel 625 strength comes from the hardening mechanisms of niobium and molybdenum, as well as the nickel-chromium base. Niobium and molybdenum interact to reinforce the alloy matrix, resulting in high strength without the need for precipitation-hardening therapy. The tensile strength of this superalloy is 690 MPa, and the yield strength is 275 MPa. 
3. Corrosion Resistance: Inconel 625 is highly resistant to corrosive substances due to the unusual combination of its materials. This is why this superalloy performs well in high-saline seawater and much better in milder environments like fresh water and normal atmospheric conditions.

Inconel 625 Applications:

• Marine applications: Inconel 625 is ideal for high saline, underwater applications due to its high corrosion resistance, especially pitting and crevice resistance. Boat propeller blades, mooring lines to protect ships and similar vessels, submarine accessories and fixtures, and parts for oceanographic equipment are all made of the stuff.
• Aerospace equipment: In the aircraft industry, superalloy is used for exhaust equipment, fuel lines, heat exchanger casings, and rocket components, among other things. Inconel 625’s ability to operate in extreme temperatures and under high stress is the reason for this.
• Nuclear technology: Inconel 625 is a suitable component of nuclear reactors, especially in the control rod and reactor core, due to its strength and resistance to corrosion and stress. Nuclear power plants often operate at temperatures above 650°C, which Inconel 625 can withstand.
• Industrial processing: The alloy is a valuable component in the manufacture of manufacturing equipment such as vessels, heat exchangers, valves, and fluid delivery systems because it is easily fabricable and resistant to heat and corrosion. Its excellent weldability makes it an ideal component for manufacturing plant pipes and tubes.
