Inconel 625 Fittings and Flanges
Alloy 625 Flange and Fittings is a nonmagnetic, nickel-chromium alloy. It is used for its high strength, excellent fabricability (including joining), and outstanding corrosion resistance. Inconel 625 Flange has special quality finishing and durable for long life, high pressure and zero defects.

Inconel 625 fittings and flanges have better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. They have a good resistance to chloride containing environment, high corrosion-fatigue strength, high tensile strength, and resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking makes it widely used in seawater heat exchangers in refineries, power plants, and offshore topside services that often need this material.
