Nickel Alloys

Alloy 625, also known as Inconel 625, is a nickel-based superalloy known for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance. It is widely used in demanding environments, particularly in the oil and gas sector.

Alloy 718 (UNS N07718) is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant nickel chromium material that offers high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in H2S and CO2 environments.  For applications requiring higher yield strength, consider our BOHLER L718 API-150ksi, which offers a minimum yield strength of 150 ksi. 718 can be used in high temperatures as it has high temp de-rating factors and maintains strength at elevated temperatures.  Several conditions of 718 API are available at vSM. We offer the NACE/API 6ACRA versions at 120 ksi min yield as well as the 150 ksi high strength version.  Both tempers are suitable for sour service and can be used for pressure containing and pressure controlling equipment in corrosive environments. Typical applications include packers, safety valves, pumps, hangers, connectors, and fasteners.

Alloy 725 (UNS N07725), commonly known as Inconel 725, is a nickel chromium-molybdenum-niobium alloy that is highly resistant to corrosion and is age hardenable for extremely high strength. It has essentially the same corrosion resistance as Alloy 625, which is widely used in a broad range of severely corrosive environments in the oil & gas sector. The strength of age-hardened Alloy 725 is of the order of twice that of annealed Alloy 625. Alloy 725 exhibits a high resistance in reducing and oxidizing environments and increased resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in sea water and stress corrosion cracking.  Because the strength of alloy 725 is developed by heat treatment, not by cold work, ductility and toughness remain high. The properties of Alloy 725 are useful for a range of applications that require outstanding corrosion resistance along with high strength. The alloy is used for hangers, landing nipples, side pocket mandrels and polished bore receptacles in sour gas service, where it resists the effects of hydrogen sulfide, chlorides and carbon dioxide. The alloy is also attractive for high strength fasteners in marine applications, where it resists corrosion, pitting and crevice attack in sea water. For applications with moderate strength requirements, explore our Alloy 925. Material Designations Market Grade UNS Alloy 725 N07725   Standards ASTM OTHERS OTHERS B805 NACE MR0175 API 6ACRA

Alloy 925 (UNS N09925), commonly known as Incoloy 925, is an age-hardenable nickel-iron-chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum, copper, titanium and aluminum. Alloy 925 is used in numerous applications requiring a combination of high strength and corrosion resistance.  For applications requiring higher strength, explore our Alloy 725, which offers superior mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The nickel, in conjunction with molybdenum and copper, provides excellent resistance to reducing chemicals and its chromium content renders protection in oxidizing environments.  Because of its resistance to sulfide stress cracking and stress-corrosion cracking in sour crude oil and natural gas, it is used for down-hole and surface gas well components including but not limited to: packers, pump shafts in marine environments, safety valves, hangers, landing nipples and fasteners.

C17200 Beryllium Copper (BeCu), also commonly known as Alloy 25, combines high strength with non-magnetic and non-sparking qualities. It has excellent metal working, forming, non-galling, and machining qualities.  Since they do not trade high strength for conductivity, they are well suited to address the challenges in connectors and other harsh-environment components. Strength, conductivity, ductility, corrosion resistance, machinability, and low friction properties make BeCu alloys ideal for downhole directional tools including MWD/LWD housings, drill bit bearings, subsea actuator stems, subsea xmas trees, connectors/contacts, and assisted lift pumps.

ToughMet 3 copper nickel tin alloys (UNS C72900) provide high performance property combinations beyond those found in other alloys. Alloy C72900 resist most sour environments and retain their strength at elevated and sub-zero temperatures. ToughMet alloys are available in different tempers that meet specific application requirements. ToughMet 3 AT110: This is a hot worked and spinodally hardened alloy available in many product forms and sizes. It has good ductility, resilience and low friction. Typical applications include oil and gas hardware including rotary steerable housings, Kelly valve seats, bushings, bearings, threaded components and metal seals. ToughMet TS: This is a cold worked, spinodally hardened alloy designed to provide additional property attributes for the most demanding applications. ToughMet TS95 and TS120U tempers combine high levels of fracture toughness with strength to resist impact loading. ToughMet TS95 temper also provides the highest mechanical wear resistance of the ToughMet alloys. ToughMet TS130, TS150 and TS160U tempers offer the highest strength for the most demanding static structural loads and pressures.
