Sanicro® 625 is an austenitic nickel-chromium alloy characterized by:

  • Extremely good corrosion resistance in widely varying acidic and chloride containing environments
  • High strength
  • Excellent fabrication properties.

Sanicro® 625 can be used in a wide range of temperatures from -196°C to 815°C (-321°F to 1500°F). Typical uses include hydraulic and instrumentation systems, heat-exchangers and high-temperature applications. However, it should be noted that prolonged exposure to temperatures above 600°C (1100°F) may lead to embrittlement.

Applications

Sanicro® 625 is an extremely versatile nickel alloy, suitable for use in both oxidizing and reducing acidic environments, such as:

  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Nitric acid
  • Phosphoric acid
  • Chloride containing environments

The grade can also be used for a wide range of temperatures from -196°C to 815°C (-321°F to 1500°F). Typical areas of use include hydraulic systems, heat-exchangers and high-temperature applications.

Some industrial examples are:

  • High temperature aerospace
  • Chemical process industry
  • Power industry

Corrosion resistance

Wet corrosion

Sanicro® 625 shows very good resistance to pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion and is virtually immune to stress corrosion cracking in chloride-containing environments. The grade is able to withstand general corrosion in both severe oxidizing and non-oxidizing acids.

Resistance in chloride environments is also extremely good owing to the high PRE number, ≥48.

Pitting Resistance Equivalent, PRE
PRE = %Cr + 3.3 x %Mo + 16 x %N

High temperature corrosion

In addition to its excellent wet corrosion resistance, Sanicro® 625 is also able to resist oxidation and scaling at high temperature.

Forms of supply

Sanicro® 625 seamless nickel alloy tubing is supplied bright annealed in the outside diameter range 6 - 42 mm (0.25" - 1.625") and wall-thickness 0.89 - 5.0 mm (0.035" - 0.197"). Some dimensions may be supplied annealed and white pickled.

Tubing is supplied as:

  • Annealed (Grade 1)
  • Solution annealed (Grade 2)

Welding

The weldability of Sanicro® 625 is good. Suitable methods of fusion welding are manual metal-arc welding (MMA/SMAW) and gas-shielded arc welding, with the TIG/GTAW method as first choice.

For Sanicro® 625, heat-input of <1.5 kJ/mm and interpass temperature of <100°C (210°F) are recommended. A string bead welding technique should be used.
