ASTM B446 Inconel 625 round bar (UNS N06625) is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-niobium alloy renowned for its exceptional combination of high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and fabricability. Composed of 61% nickel, 21.5% chromium, 9% molybdenum, 3.6% niobium, and trace iron/cobalt, this alloy leverages solid-solution strengthening from molybdenum and niobium carbides to deliver outstanding performance in extreme environments. Manufactured via hot-rolling or cold-drawing to meet standards like ASTM B446 and ASME SB446, the round bar features a uniform microstructure with tight dimensional tolerances (±0.05 mm for diameters ≤50 mm).
Inconel 625’s austenitic matrix remains stable from cryogenic temperatures up to 1093°C, making it ideal for applications requiring both corrosion resistance and mechanical reliability across a broad thermal spectrum.
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to pitting/crevice corrosion in chloride solutions (up to 40,000 ppm Cl⁻), seawater, and mixed acids (e.g., H2SO4 + HNO3). Its high chromium/molybdenum content forms a robust Cr2O3-MoO3 passive film.
High-Temperature Strength: Maintains tensile strength exceeding 760 MPa at 700°C without age-hardening, outperforming most stainless steels in creep and fatigue resistance.
Cryogenic Ductility: Remains ductile at -196°C, making it suitable for liquid nitrogen storage and aerospace cryogenic systems.
Ease of Machining & Welding: Despite its high alloy content, Inconel 625 can be machined with carbide tools (using high lubrication) and welded by GTAW/GMAW with ERNiCrMo-3 filler metal, requiring no post-weld heat treatment.

Aerospace Turbines: Used for turbine disks, blades, and fasteners in jet engines, resisting hot corrosion from sulfur-bearing fuels at 900-1050°C.
Offshore Oil & Gas: Employed as structural supports, valve components, and subsea connectors in deepwater environments, enduring H2S-rich brines and mechanical stress.
Chemical Processing: Ideal for reactor internals, heat exchanger tubes, and pump shafts handling concentrated salt solutions or organic solvents.
Nuclear Industry: Used in spent fuel pool racks and primary coolant systems due to low activation properties and resistance to radiation-induced corrosion.

Q: How does Inconel 625 differ from Inconel 718?
A:625 relies on solid-solution strengthening (niobium/molybdenum), while 718 is age-hardenable (aluminum/titanium precipitates), making 625 more ductile for welding but less hardenable.
Q: Can Inconel 625 be used in hydrofluoric acid (HF)?
A:No, its niobium content makes it susceptible to HF attack; Monel 400 or Hastelloy B3 are better choices for HF environments.
Q: What is the typical hardness of Inconel 625 round bar?
A:As-annealed hardness is ≤220 HB; cold working can increase it to 300 HB, though ductility decreases proportionally.
Q: Does Inconel 625 require pickling after heat treatment?
A:Yes, a nitric-hydrofluoric acid bath (10% HNO3 + 1% HF) is recommended to remove scale and restore corrosion resistance after annealing.
