What are the advantages of incoloy 825?
Incoloy 825, known as Nickel Alloy 825, is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy containing small amounts of molybdenum, copper and titanium. This combination gives Incoloy 825 greater corrosion resistance in the harshest environments. Like many alloys in the Incoloy family, Incoloy 825 offers the user a number of advantages:
Excellent resistance to reducing and oxidizing acids such as sulfuric and phosphoric acids
Helps avoid stress corrosion cracking
Stops localized corrosion such as pitting and crevice corrosion
High resistance to various oxidizing substances such as nitric acid, nitrates and oxidizing salts
Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, Incoloy 825 is used in many industries and applications including:
chemical processing
pollution control
Heater
Oil and gas recovery
Thermal containers for food, water and seawater
antacid
Pickling tank heaters, tanks and equipment
nuclear fuel reprocessing
radioactive waste disposal
marine exhaust system
Like most of the Incoloy family of alloys, Incoloy 825 has a unique chemical composition that includes:
Nickel 38-46%
Iron content is not less than 22%
Chromium 19-23.5%
Molybdenum 2.5-3.5%
Copper 1.5-3%
Manganese 1% or less
Titanium 0.6-1.2%
Incoloy 825 is available through Continental Steel in a variety of shapes and forms, including tube, tube, sheet, strip, plate, rounds, flats, forgings, hexagons and wire. Various forms of Incoloy 825 meet different key industry standards from organizations such as ASTM, ASME, BS, SEW, DIN, EN and ISO.
