Alloy 625 (2.4856/N06625)

Alloy 625 (2.4856/N06625) in the soft annealed condition (grade 1) is characterized by:

  • Exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, erosion and intergranular corrosion
  • Immunity to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking
  • Good resistance to mineral acids such as nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric and hydrochloric acid
  • Good resistance to alkalis and organic acids
  • Good mechanical properties 

The soft annealed version of Alloy 625 (grade 1) is used in the oil and gas industry, the chemical process industry, marine engineering and environmental engineering. Typical applications include:

  • Equipment for the production of super phosphoric acid 
  • Plants for the treatment of radioactive waste
  • Production pipe systems and linings of risers in oil production 
  • Offshore industry and seawater exposed equipment 
  • Seawater piping in shipbuilding 
  • Stress corrosion cracking resistant compensators 
  • Furnace linings 

For high-temperature applications up to 1,000 °C (1,832 °F), the solution treated variant (grade 2) acc. to ASME Code for Pressure Vessels is used. Typical applications include:

  • Flaring systems in refineries and offshore platforms 
  • Recuperators and compensators for hot exhaust gases 

FM 625 is used as matching filler metal for corrosion-resistant coatings of less resistant steels (overlay welding). Typical applications include:

  • Components in the oil and gas extraction 
  • Superheater tubes in waste incineration plants
