Inconel 625 is a nickel-based super alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Sheets made from Inconel 625 are widely used in industries such as aerospace, marine, chemical processing, and power generation due to their versatility and performance under harsh conditions.

Inconel 625 has superior corrosion and temperature resistance compared to stainless steel. It is specifically designed to perform in extreme environments where stainless steel might fail. While stainless steel is more cost-effective for general applications, Inconel 625 is preferred for critical applications requiring exceptional durability and strength.

Although Inconel 625 is known for its toughness and hardness, it can be fabricated with proper techniques. Machining requires specialized tools, slower cutting speeds, and adequate cooling to prevent work hardening. Its weldability, however, is excellent, allowing for smooth fabrication processes without post-weld cracking issues.
