    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Inconel 625 (N06625)?

    Inconel 625 is a Ni-Cr-Mo-Nb solid-solution-strengthened alloy (~58 Ni, 20-23 Cr, 8-10 Mo, 3.15-4.15 Nb+Ta) with broad corrosion resistance across oxidizing + reducing media, excellent fatigue strength, and service to ~1800 F. Per ASTM F467 for nonferrous nut in seawater, sour-service, and high-temperature chemical equipment.

    How strong are Inconel 625 bolts per F467?

    In annealed condition: tensile 110 ksi min, yield 55 ksi min, elongation 30% min. In stress-relieved condition: tensile 135 ksi, yield 95 ksi. TorqBolt typically supplies F467 Inconel 625 nut in annealed condition for chemical-process service and in stress-relieved condition for high-strength applications.

    Is Inconel 625 NACE MR0175 acceptable for sour service?

    Yes. N06625 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 for downhole and surface nut in oil and gas H2S service per the standard's hardness and processing requirements.

    Where does Inconel 625 outperform Monel 400?

    Inconel 625 dominates Monel 400 in: high-temperature service (Monel limited to ~900 F creep, 625 useful to 1800 F), chloride pitting and crevice corrosion, oxidizing acids (Monel poor in HNO3, 625 excellent), and applications requiring 2x+ the proof load. Monel 400 wins on cost and clean-seawater simplicity.
