Alloy 625 A nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy, with an addition of niobium that acts with the Molybdenum to stiffen the alloy’s matrix which provides high strength without a strengthening heat Treatment. The alloy resists a wide range of severely corrosive environments and is especially resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion. Used in chemical processing, aerospace and marine engineering, pollution- Control equipment and nuclear reactors.
