Is Inconel 625 NACE compliant?

Sour service material manufactured with Inconel 625 (UNS N06625) has to comply with ANSI/NACE MR0175/ISO 15156. NACE MR0175 provides the metallurgical requirements for Inconel 625. Metallurgical condition and hardness are two of those requirements discussed in this article.

Is Inconel 625 a stainless steel?

Inconel® 625 stainless steel, with a chromium-nickel and low carbon content, is used for its outstanding corrosion resistance especially at elevated temperatures.

What kind of metal is 625?

nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy
Inconel 625 is a high-performance nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy known for its high level of strength, temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. This superalloy is composed mainly of nickel (58% min.)

Is Inconel 625 corrosion resistant?

INCONEL® nickel-chromium alloy 625 (UNS N06625/W.Nr. 2.4856) is used for its high strength, excellent fabricability (including joining), and out- standing corrosion resistance.

Why Inconel 625 is difficult to machine?

Superalloy Inconel 625 although having many industrial applications owing to its high strength, exhibits poor machinability because of its sticky nature and poor heat conductivity. To improve its machinability, use of cutting fluids becomes necessary to remove heat and provide lubrication in the cutting region.

Is INCONEL harder than stainless steel?

This is because Inconel is stronger than stainless steel at high temperatures, while being more resistant to oxidation and scaling as well. However, there are specific chemicals that the stainless steel might be better at resisting than Inconel—such as sulfuric acid.

What is special about INCONEL?

Inconels are a class of nickel-chrome-based super alloys characterized by high corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, strength at high temperatures, and creep resistance. Inconel is able to withstand elevated temperatures and extremely corrosive environments due to two factors.
