Inconel 625 is a wrought nickel-chromium-molybdenum-niobium alloy that derives its strength from solid-solution hardening rather than precipitation hardening. With a nominal density of 8.44 g/cm³, a melting range of 1290–1350 °C and an annealed tensile strength of at least 827 MPa, it combines high strength, resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, and weldability without post-weld heat treatment. This article sets out the grade system, composition limits, condition-specific mechanical data, service-temperature boundaries and selection criteria against Inconel 600, 617, 686 and 718. Read More

Positioning statement. Inconel 617 is a solid-solution-strengthened nickel superalloy in which cobalt and molybdenum provide high-temperature deformation resistance, chromium and aluminium establish surface oxidation resistance, and the absence of age hardening delivers long-term structural stability. Its design target is not the very high room-temperature strength of a precipitation-hardened grade, but the combination of load-bearing capacity, structural stability and weldability required in the 900–1000 °C band — the reason it is a standard candidate for gas turbine hot sections, high-temperature heat exchangers and high-temperature gas-cooled reactor heat exchange structures.

Inconel 602CA (UNS N06025 / W. Nr. 2.4633) is a wrought nickel-chromium-iron heat-resistant alloy containing 24.0–26.0% chromium, 1.80–2.40% aluminum and 0.15–0.25% carbon, with yttrium and zirconium added to improve oxide-scale adhesion. Its density is 7.93 g/cm³ and its melting range 1,340–1,400 ° Read More
