What are Inconel 825 Pipes & Tubes?
Inconel 825 Pipes & Tubes (UNS N08825 / Incoloy® 825) are vital components made from a nickel-iron-chromium superalloy containing additions of molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), and titanium (Ti). This composition provides outstanding resistance to a wide array of corrosive media, both reducing and oxidizing.
Key characteristics include:
- High Nickel Content (38-46%): Resists chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
- Chromium (19.5-23.5%): Offers resistance to oxidizing agents like nitric acid.
- Molybdenum (2.5-3.5%): Enhances resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
- Copper (1.5-3.0%): Improves resistance to reducing acids like sulfuric and phosphoric acid.
- Titanium (0.6-1.2%): Allows for stabilization heat treatment, preventing sensitization and intergranular corrosion after welding or heat exposure.
Inconel 825 Alloy Pipes and UNS N08825 Tubes are solid-solution strengthened, offering good fabricability and weldability. They maintain useful mechanical properties from cryogenic temperatures up to about 1000°F (540°C), above which performance may degrade. They provide a reliable solution for handling aggressive chemicals, sour gas, and acidic environments where standard materials fail.

Chemical Composition and Mechanical Properties
The performance of Inconel 825 Pipes & Tubes is defined by its controlled chemistry and resulting mechanical strength.
Chemical Composition (Typical %)
Element | Symbol | Min | Max | Role |
---|---|---|---|---|
Nickel | Ni | 38.0 | 46.0 | Base, SCC & general corrosion resistance |
Chromium | Cr | 19.5 | 23.5 | Oxidizing resistance |
Iron | Fe | 22.0 | Bal. | Base element |
Molybdenum | Mo | 2.5 | 3.5 | Pitting/crevice & reducing acid resistance |
Copper | Cu | 1.5 | 3.0 | Sulfuric/phosphoric acid resistance |
Titanium | Ti | 0.6 | 1.2 | Stabilization against sensitization |
Carbon | C | - | 0.05 | Controlled low |
Manganese | Mn | - | 1.0 | Deoxidizer, hot workability |
Sulfur | S | - | 0.03 | Kept low |

Mechanical Properties (Annealed Condition)
Property | Typical Value | Units (Imp/Metric) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Tensile Strength | 85 - 120 ksi | 586 - 827 MPa | Min 85 ksi / 586 MPa often required |
Yield Strength (0.2%) | 35 - 65 ksi | 241 - 448 MPa | Min 35 ksi / 241 MPa often required |
Elongation in 2" | 30 - 50 % | % | Good ductility (Min 30% common) |
Hardness | 70 - 90 HRB | Rockwell B | Typical range |
Temperature Limit: Useful strength up to approx. 1000°F (540°C). Not typically strengthened by heat treatment (solid solution alloy). Cold work increases strength but reduces ductility.
