Inconel 825 Specifications

UNS N08825 | ASTM B425 & B564 | Ni-Cr-Fe-Mo-Cu Alloy

Complete specifications for Inconel 825, a nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum-copper alloy with excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking and reducing acids.

Inconel 825 Overview

Material Description

Alloy 825 is a Ni-Cr-Fe-Mo-Cu alloy with excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and good pitting resistance in all environments except strongly oxidizing chloride solutions. The alloy is ductile and easily worked and fabricated.

The alloy cannot be hardened by heat-treatment, but enhanced mechanical properties can be obtained by cold working. It's especially effective in sour well tubing strings, heat-exchangers, and chemical processing plants.

Key Benefits:

  • Excellent stress corrosion cracking resistance
  • Good pitting and crevice corrosion resistance
  • Resistance to reducing acids
  • Easily fabricated and welded
