Alloy 825 INCOLOY®825 – W. Nr. 2.4858 / UNS N08825 / ASTM B425, B424, B564

Alloy 825 INCOLOY® 825

Alloy 825 INCOLOY® 825 is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with added molybdenum, copper, and titanium, designed to ensure exceptional corrosion resistance in a wide range of aggressive environments.

The nickel content ensures excellent resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking, while the combination of nickel, molybdenum, and copper provides remarkable resistance to reducing environments, such as those containing sulfuric and phosphoric acids. Chromium offers resistance to oxidizing substances, such as nitric acid and nitrates, while titanium stabilizes the alloy against intergranular corrosion.

Thanks to its excellent resistance to general and localized corrosion, INCOLOY® 825 is widely used in sectors such as chemical, petrochemical, nuclear, and oil & gas.

Reference standards:

  • ASTM B425 (bars and wires)
  • ASTM B424 (plates and strips)
  • ASTM B564 (flanges and forgings)
