Description

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.

    Technological properties

    Property
    Application areas

    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

  • 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 properties

    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 = %Cr + 3.3x%Mo + 16x%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.

    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 <1.2 kJ/mm and interpass temperature of <100°C (210°F) are recommended. A string bead welding technique should be used.


    Recommended filler metals:

    • TIG/GTAW or MIG/GMAW welding
      • ISO 18274 S Ni 6625/AWS A5.14 ERNiCrMo-3 (e.g. Exaton Ni60)
    • MMA/SMAW welding
      • ISO 14172 E Ni 6625/AWS A5.11 ENiCrMo-3 (e.g. Exaton Ni60)
