Metinox Overseas is one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of Alloy 625 (Inconel 625) Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum-Niobium Alloy Flanges that are also used in the most challenging corrosive and high-temperature conditions, providing superior resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, oxidation, and exceptional high-temperature strength. Our ASTM B564 UNS N06625 Forged Flanges are manufactured using high quality nickel based superalloy with balanced chemical composition of nickel (minimum 58 percent), chromium (20.0-23.0 percent), molybdenum (8.0-10.0 percent), and niobium (3.15-4.15 percent) which offers a combination of unique mix of aqueous corrosion resistance, high temperature strength, and oxidation resistance. They are Alloy 625 Flanges (Inconel 625) designed to suit optimally in extreme service environments of -196-C (-320-F) down to 1095-C (2000-F), and so provide the best performance in offshore oil and gas platforms (seawater service), chemical processing plants with oxidizing and reducing environments, aerospace components, marine engineering equipment, nuclear reactor components, pollution control equipment, gas turbine components, and high-stress and chloride-induced corrosion environments.
The presence of high nickel (minimum 58%), chromium (20-23%), molybdenum (8-10%), and niobium (3.15-4.15%) also gives Alloy 625 an excellent resolution to oxidizing and reducing conditions, remarkably high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion (PREN = 51-54), elimination of the chloride stress corrosion cracking and high strength at high temperatures due to solid solution strengthening without additional heat treatment of precipitation hardening. The niobium addition gives age hardening ability in case of special use and helps in creep resistance in high temperatures. Weld Neck Flanges of the A564 series A and B are manufactured in full ANSI/ASME B16.5 (1/2 to 24 inch NB) and ASME B16.47 Series A and B (26 to 60 inch NB), in pressure classes of 150 to 2500 pounds per square inch (517 to 17000 kg/cm-) in accordance with the ANSI/ASME dimensional standards. Every flange will be subjected to stringent quality test, such as dimensional inspection, PMI verification, tensile checks, Charpy impact testing, hardness tests, ferrite tests (must be ferrite free) and ultrasonic examination is required as stipulated by ASTM B564.

Yes, Alloy 625 (Inconel 625) is commonly considered the best nickel based superalloy in the toughest offshore oil and gas, chemical processing, and high-temperature tools where the combination of aqueous corrosion and high-temperature strength with oxidation resistance exceeds that of virtually all other easily available materials. The International Nickel Company (now Special Metals Corporation) initially developed Inconel 625 in the 1960s to meet the need of a material capable of accommodating extreme corrosive conditions as well as high temperatures, and has since become the material of choice in critical components of industries in the offshore, aerospace, and chemical processing sectors as well as power generation.
The high chromium content (20-23%) combined with high molybdenum (8-10%) and niobium (3.15-4.15%) makes the Alloy 625 have the exceptional corrosion resistance. This composition gives a Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) of about 51-54, PREN = (%Cr + 3.3-%Mo + 16-%N). This is a much higher PREN than that of super austenitic stainless steel, such as 254 SMO (PREN ~43) and super duplex grades such as 2507 (PREN ~42-43), thus Alloy 625 is one of the most pit and crevice corrosion-resistant commercially available alloys. The extreme nickel concentration (minimum 58%) gives complete resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, one of the fatal failure modes of austenitic stainless steels in the maritime water and chloride process settings.
Alloy 625 has been demonstrated to work in the harshest offshore oil and gas conditions. The alloy shows a high resistance to seawater corrosion in all depths, in deep water (>1500m) and ultra-deep water (>3000m) where high hydrostatic pressures, low temperatures and complex chemistry are demanding of other alloys. Alloy 625 has virtually no resistance to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) stress cracking and it is thus suitable to sour service conditions. The alloy is resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion in sea water even stagnant water and has corrosion resistance in the presence of CO2 and the presence of organic acids and other wastes that are likely to be present in produced fluids. Alloy 625 is frequently employed in subsea in wellhead components, subsea manifolds, control systems, umbilicals, fasteners and in valve internals.
This is because the molybdenum and niobium solid solution strengthening of Alloy 625 is achieved through solid solution hardening, as opposed to precipitation hardening (as in Alloy 718, which needs annealing to become hardened). This implies that Alloy 625 in the solution annealed form has a great strength at the high temperatures and can still possess a high level of ductility and weldability. Alloy 625 has much higher creep-rupture strength at temperatures above 650-C, than Alloy 600, and thus can be used in structural applications in gas turbines, heat exchangers and industrial furnaces. The alloy has a useful strength up to 1095 degrees Celsius and it has a good oxidation resistance in air and combustion gases.
In chemical processing, Alloy 625 has a wide corrosion resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments - a combination hard to find. The alloy is resistant to oxidizing chloride solutions (ferric chloride, cupric chloride), wet chlorine gas, hypochlorites, and chlorine dioxide, and is also a good resister against reducing environments, such as hydrochloric acid at moderately high concentration and temperature, and sulfuric acid under some conditions. It is this versatility that allows Alloy 625 to be used in multipurpose chemical processing equipment. The alloy is also quite impervious to organic acids, basic solutions and acid mixtures.
Alloy 625 is used in offshore oil and gas (subsea wellheads, manifolds, control systems, umbilicals, fasteners), seawater service piping and heat exchangers, chemical processing equipment (oxidizing chloride environment), pollution control equipment (flue gas desulfurization, wet scrubbers), nuclear reactor components (control rod drive mechanisms), aerospace components (exhaust systems, thrust reversers), marine engineering (propulsion systems, seawater piping), power generation (gas turbine transition ducts, ducting) and petrochemical plants (ethylene crackers, quench systems). The alloy is certified as NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 to sour service, and is commonly used as specifications in ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code.
The first disadvantage of Alloy 625 is that it is very expensive because of its price in comparison with stainless steels and other nickel alloys. Where not required, less expensive substitutes can be appropriate in their applications where the extreme corrosion resistance or high temperature strength of Alloy 625 is not needed. Even more extreme environments (huge chloride with oxidising conditions) may be solved with special alloys, such as C-22 or C-276, however with incremental improvements but at even higher costs. To achieve the maximum strength needed at high temperatures (above 650-C) in structural workload, age hardened Alloy 718 is used in higher strength, but it has a decrease in corrosion resistance and weldability. Nevertheless, in the case of a combination of aqueous corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and weldability Alloy 625 is the best compromise of properties and the most commonly specified premium nickel alloy.
