825
Nickel Alloy 825 is a high-performance nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum-copper alloy with excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion in harsh environments.
Nickel Alloy 825, also known as Inconel 825, is a high-performance nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum-copper alloy that offers excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments. It is particularly effective in resisting pitting and crevice corrosion, making it an ideal choice for use in harsh environments such as chemical processing, oil and gas production, marine environments, and nuclear power plants.
​
The high nickel and molybdenum content of Nickel Alloy 825 give it excellent corrosion resistance, while the addition of chromium provides improved resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The copper content gives the alloy improved resistance to reducing acids, such as sulfuric and phosphoric acids.
​
Due to its excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion, Nickel Alloy 825 is commonly used in a wide range of industries and applications, including:
-
Chemical processing
-
Oil and gas production
-
Marine environments
-
Nuclear power plants
-
Pharmaceutical and food processing
-
Pulp and paper production
