HAYNES® 625 alloy

Principal Features
Excellent Strength Up To 1500°F (816°C), Good Oxidation Resistance, and
Good Resistance to Aqueous Corrosion
HAYNES® 625 alloy (UNS N06625) is a nickel- chromium-molybdenum alloy with excellent
strength from room temperature up to about 1500°F (816°C). At higher temperatures, its
strength is generally lower than that of other solid-solution strengthened alloys. Alloy 625
has good oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1800°F (982°C) and provides good
resistance to aqueous corrosion, but generally not as effectively as modern HASTELLOY®
corrosion-resistant alloys.

Easily Fabricated
HAYNES® 625 alloy has excellent forming and welding characteristics. It may be forged
or otherwise hot-worked providing temperature is maintained in the range of about 1800 to
2150°F (982 to 1177°C). Ideally, to control grain size, finish hot working operations should
be performed at the lower end of the temperature range. Because of its good ductility, al-
loy 625 is also readily formed by cold working. However, the alloy does work-harden rap-
idly so intermediate annealing treatments may be needed for complex component forming
operations.

In order to restore the best balance of properties, all hot- or cold-worked parts should be
annealed and rapidly cooled.

The alloy can be welded by both manual and automatic welding methods, including gas
tungsten arc (GTAW), gas metal arc (GMAW), electron beam, and resistance welding. It
exhibits good restraint welding characteristics.

Heat Treatment
Unless otherwise specified, wrought HAYNES® 625 alloy is normally supplied in the
mill-annealed condition. The alloy is usually mill-annealed at 1925°F plus or minus 25°F
(1052°C plus or minus 14°C) for a time commensurate with section thickness and rapidly
cooled or water-quenched for optimum properties. Depending on customer requirements,
alloy 625 may also be supplied solution heat-treated at temperatures at or above 2000°F
(1093°C), or mill annealed at temperatures below 1925°F (1052°C). Lower temperature
mill annealing treatments may result in some precipitation of second phases in alloy 625
which can affect the alloy’s properties.

Applications
HAYNES® 625 alloy is widely used in a variety of high- temperature aerospace, chemical
process industry, and power industry applications. It provides excellent service in short-
term applications at temperatures up to approximately 1500°F (816°C); however, for long-
term elevated temperature service, use of alloy 625 is best restricted to a maximum of
1100°F (593°C). Long-term thermal exposure of alloy 625 above 1100°F (593°C) will result
in significant embrittlement. For service at these temperatures, more modern materials,
such as HAYNES® 230® alloy, are recommended.

As a low-temperature corrosion-resistant material, alloy 625 has been widely used in

chemical process industry, sea water, and power plant scrubber applications. However,
in newer applications with more demanding environments, more capable HASTELLOY®
alloys are preferred, such as C-22® and G-35® alloys.

Thermal Stability
HAYNES® 625 alloy is similar to the solid-solution-strengthened superalloys, such as
HAYNES® 188 alloy or HASTELLOY® X alloy, which will precipitate deleterious phases
upon long- term exposure at intermediate temperatures. In this case, the phase in ques-
tion is Ni Cb delta- phase which serves to impair both tensile ductility and impact strength.
For applications where thermal stability is important, 230® alloy is recommended.

Oxidation Resistance
Comparative Burner Rig Oxidation Resistance, 1000 Hours
Burner rig oxidation tests were conducted by exposing samples 3/8 in. x 2.5 in. x thickness
(9 mm x 64 mm x thickness), in a rotating holder, to products of combustion of a mixture
of No. 1 and No. 2 fuel oil. This was burned at a ratio of air to fuel of about 50:1 for 1000
hours. (Gas velocity was about 0.3 mach). Samples were automatically removed from the
gas stream every 30 minutes, fan-cooled to near ambient temperature, and then reinserted
into the flame tunnel.

Comparative 0.1 mm/y Line Plots

To compare the performance of HAYNES® 625 alloy with that of other materials, it is useful
to plot the 0.1 mm/y lines. In the following graphs, the lines for 625 alloy are compared with
those of G-35® alloy, 254SMO alloy, and 316L stainless steel, in hydrochloric and sulfuric
acids. The hydrochloric acid concentration limit of 20% is the azeotrope, above which cor-
rosion tests are less reliable.

Resistance to Pitting and Crevice Corrosion
HAYNES® 625 alloy exhibits good resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice attack,
forms of corrosion to which some of the austenitic stainless steels are particularly prone.
To assess the resistance of alloys to pitting and crevice attack, it is customary to measure
their Critical Pitting Temperatures and Critical Crevice Temperatures in acidified 6 wt.%
ferric chloride, in accordance with the procedures defined in ASTM Standard G 48. These
values represent the lowest temperatures at which pitting and crevice attack are encoun-
tered in this solution, within 72 hours.

Resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking

One of the chief attributes of the nickel alloys is their resistance to chloride-induced stress
corrosion cracking. A common solution for assessing the resistance of materials to this
extremely destructive form of attack is boiling 45% magnesium chloride (ASTM Standard
G 36), typically with stressed U-bend samples. As is evident from the following results, 625
alloy is much more resistant to this form of attack than the comparative, austenitic stainless
steels. The tests were stopped after 1,008 hours (six weeks).

Fabrication
Heat Treatment
HAYNES® 625 alloy is normally final annealed at 1925°F (1052°C) for a time commensu-
rate with section thickness. Annealing during fabrication can be performed at even lower
temperatures, but a final subsequent anneal at 1925°F (1052°C) is usually required to
produce optimum structure and properties. Please see the “Welding and Fabbrication”
brochure for further information.

Welding
HAYNES® 625 alloy is readily welded by Gas Tungsten Arc (GTAW), Gas Metal Arc
(GMAW), electron beam welding, and resistance welding techniques. Its welding charac-
teristics are similar to those for HASTELLOY® X alloy. Submerged-Arc welding is not rec-
ommended as this process is characterized by high heat input to the base metal and slow
cooling of the weld. These factors can increase weld restraint and promote cracking.

Base Metal Preparation

The welding surface and adjacent regions should be thoroughly cleaned with an appropri-
ate solvent prior to any welding operation. All greases, oils, cutting oils, crayon marks,
machining solutions, corrosion products, paint, scale, dye penetrant solutions, and other
foreign matter should be completely removed. It is preferable, but not necessary, that the
alloy be in the solution-annealed condition when welded.

Filler Metal Selection

Matching composition filler metal is recommended for joining 625 alloy. For dissimilar metal
joining of 625 alloy to nickel-, cobalt-, or iron-base materials, 625 alloy itself, 230-W® filler
wire, 556® alloy, HASTELLOY® S alloy (AMS5838), or HASTELLOY® W alloy (AMS 5786,
5787) welding products are suggested, depending upon the particular case. Please see
the “Welding and Fabrication” brochure or the Haynes Welding SmartGuide for more infor-
mation.

Preheating, Interpass Temperatures, and Post- Weld Heat Treatment

Preheat is not required. Preheat is generally specified as room temperature (typical shop
conditions). Interpass temperature should be maintained below 200°F (93°C). Auxiliary
cooling methods may be used between weld passes, as needed, providing that such meth-
ods do not introduce contaminants. Post-weld heat treatment is not generally required for
X alloy. For further information, please consult the “Welding and Fabrication” brochure.

Nominal Welding Parameters

Details for GTAW, GMAW and SMAW welding are given in the “Welding and Fabrication”
brochure. Nominal welding parameters are provided as a guide for performing typical op-
erations and are based upon welding conditions used in our laboratories.
