Incoloy 925 Product Description

Overview

Incoloy 925 is an age-hardenable nickel-iron-chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum, copper, titanium and aluminium. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.

Essentially an age-hardenable version of the corrosion-resistant alloy 825, Incoloy 925 combines the high strength of a precipitation-hardenable alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. The nickel content is sufficient to protect against chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking; the nickel together with molybdenum and copper gives outstanding resistance to reducing chemicals; the molybdenum aids resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion; and the chromium provides resistance in oxidizing environments. The titanium and aluminium additions allow strengthening through precipitation of γ′ (Ni₃(Al,Ti)) during ageing. Because of its resistance to sulfide stress cracking and stress-corrosion cracking in sour (H₂S-containing) crude oil and natural gas, it is widely used for oilfield hardware; it is qualified under NACE MR0175 and API 6ACRA and supplied in the solution-annealed and aged condition.

Typical applications include down-hole and surface gas-well components — tubulars, valves, hangers, landing nipples, tool joints and packers — fasteners, and marine and pump shafting.

Confirm against the mill test report. The hardness limit and microstructure are controlled for sour-service qualification under NACE MR0175.

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Sour gas (H₂S / CO₂) Excellent Qualified to NACE MR0175 / API 6ACRA
Chloride stress-corrosion cracking Excellent High nickel content
Pitting / crevice corrosion Excellent Molybdenum-bearing
Reducing acids (sulfuric, phosphoric) Excellent Ni + Mo + Cu
Seawater Excellent Resists pitting and crevice attack

The alloy resists general corrosion, pitting, crevice corrosion, intergranular corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking in both reducing and oxidizing environments, and is particularly suited to sour crude oil and natural gas, sulfuric and phosphoric acids, and seawater.

5. Heat Treatment

An age-hardenable corrosion-resistant alloy; strengthened by solution annealing followed by ageing.

Solution Treatment Solution anneal at approximately 980–1010 °C and cool, retaining a clean solid solution for machining and forming.

Precipitation Hardening (Ageing) Age at approximately 730–750 °C (1350–1380 °F) for 6–9 hours, furnace cool to about 620 °C (1150 °F) and hold for a total ageing time of about 18 hours, then cool at a rate equivalent to air cooling or faster — precipitating γ′ (Ni₃(Al,Ti)). The schedule meets the requirements of NACE MR0175.

6. Weldability and Joining

Good weldability; welding is performed in the solution-annealed condition with post-weld ageing. Matching or compatible nickel-alloy fillers are used.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Good Matching or compatible nickel-alloy filler
GMAW / MIG Good Compatible filler
EBW / laser Good Autogenous or matching filler

Weld in the solution-annealed condition; apply post-weld solution and ageing to develop properties.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Preferred condition Solution-annealed for machining, then age
Machinability Difficult; rigid setups, carbide tooling, slow speeds
Coolant Ample coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming In the annealed condition; work-hardens
Hot forming Readily forged; solution and age afterward
