Chemical composition
| Standard | Product form | Basis | C | Si | Mn | P | S | Cr | Ni | Mo | Other rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM / Special Metals | Ni-Cr-Mo-Nb | Specification | ≤ 0.1 | ≤ 0.5 | ≤ 0.5 | ≤ 0.015 | ≤ 0.015 | 20–23 | ≥ 58 | 8–10 | Nb+Ta 3.15-4.15; Fe max 5.0; Co max 1.0; Al max 0.40; Ti max 0.40 |
mass %. A blank cell means the standard sets no requirement for that element, not zero. Single values are limits: "≤" a maximum, "≥" a minimum.

Mechanical properties
| Standard | Product form | Condition / temper | Test temperature | Yield | Tensile | Elongation min | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM B443/vendor reference | Plate/Sheet | Solution annealed | 20 °C | 0.2% offset ≥ 414 MPa | ≥ 827 MPa | 30 % (Product/condition dependent) | Representative annealed minimums. VERIFY BEFORE APPROVE — audit v2 finding 5 raised yield 275 → 414 MPa and tensile 690 → 827 MPa (ASTM B443 Gr 1, solution annealed, 60/120 ksi). Independently confirm against the current ASTM B443 edition from a licensed copy before moving this row past draft (R12/R13). The audit flags this one as needing verification, not sign-off. |
Each row is one standard, one product form and one condition — the values do not transfer across rows. A blank cell means the standard sets no requirement.

Common questions
- 01What is the density of INCONEL 625?
- 8440 kg/m³ — the figure the weight calculators on this site use for INCONEL 625. The value is Special Metals / nickel alloy datasheets’s.
- 02What is the chemical composition of INCONEL 625?
- C ≤ 0.1, Si ≤ 0.5, Mn ≤ 0.5, P ≤ 0.015, S ≤ 0.015, Cr 20–23, Ni ≥ 58, Mo 8–10, in mass %, to ASTM / Special Metals. An element the standard sets no requirement for is left blank here rather than written as zero.
- 03What are the mechanical properties of INCONEL 625?
- Tensile ≥ 827 MPa, Yield ≥ 414 MPa, Elongation min ≥ 30 % — ASTM B443/vendor reference, Plate/Sheet, Solution annealed. Those are the standard’s requirements; the mill test certificate governs the metal delivered.
- 04What is INCONEL 625 used for?
- Offshore, seawater, chemical, aerospace
