PRODUCT OVERVIEW

About Incoloy 825 Bar and Rod

Incoloy 825 Bar and Rod is supplied in UNS N08825 / W.Nr. 2.4858, a titanium-stabilised nickel-iron-chromium alloy. Because molybdenum and copper sit in the mix, it resists reducing and oxidising acids, chloride pitting, and stress-corrosion cracking.

Southerly Alloy ships Incoloy 825 bar and rod, annealed, hot-finished or cold-drawn to ASTM B425 and ASME SB425. In addition, we cut round, hex, and forged sections to your lengths; every lot ships with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate. For high-temperature oxidizing duty beyond 825's corrosion range, buyers often review our Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT Bar and Rod, the same iron-nickel-chromium family as 825. In addition, the Incoloy 825 material page sets out the alloy data behind the bar order.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Key Features of Incoloy 825 Bar and Rod

Incoloy 825 is a titanium-stabilised nickel-iron-chromium alloy with molybdenum and copper additions that resist reducing and oxidising acids, chloride pitting and stress-corrosion cracking. Southerly Alloy supplies UNS N08825 bar and rod to ASTM B425 in annealed, hot-finished and cold-drawn conditions, with custom sizes, surface finishes and mill test documentation. Sulfuric acid plants, seawater-cooled exchangers, and sour-service oil and gas projects are typical buyers of this bar.

Incoloy 825 Bar and Rod
Incoloy 825

Reducing and Oxidising Acid Resistance

Because molybdenum and copper work together, they handle sulfuric, phosphoric and nitric acid duty.

01

Chloride SCC Resistance

As a result, high nickel content resists stress-corrosion cracking in chloride-bearing process streams.

02

Pitting and Crevice Resistance

In addition, molybdenum raises localised corrosion resistance in seawater and chloride solutions.

03

Titanium-Stabilised Structure

Because titanium ties up carbon, welded joints keep their intergranular corrosion resistance.

04

Sour-Service Approval

Incoloy 825 holds NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 approval for H2S-bearing oil and gas duty.

05

Cold-Worked Strength Increase

Drawing lifts yield strength well above the annealed minimum for shafts and fasteners.

06

One Grade, Many Media

A single alloy serves acid, alkali, and seawater circuits across one plant.

07

Documented Heat Identity

Every bar ships with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate tied to its heat number.

08
WHY CHOOSE US

Why Choose Incoloy 825

Annealing, finishing and inspection of every bar follow one written route. Consequently, the dates and documents we quote are dates we can hold. Before cutting, we verify the chemical composition for acid-resistant service and the sour-service hardness requirements against your project specification.

01

Project Chemistry Matched

We confirm molybdenum, copper, and titanium targets against your specification before we work the heat.

02

Heat-Level Traceability

In addition, certificates, hardness records, and PMI data follow the bar, compiled per heat.

03

Trial-to-Container Supply

One test bar and a full order run through the same annealed production route.

04

Technical Response

Mill metallurgists answer acid-duty, hardness-limit, and documentation questions.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Reliable Production For Critical Applications

We melt Incoloy 825 bar from nickel, chromium, iron, molybdenum, and copper and add titanium for stabilisation. Each heat is annealed between 927 and 1010 °C, then finished to the ordered condition. As a result, chemistry and test results stay linked to the heat number.

01

Charge Weighing

We weigh nickel, chromium, iron, molybdenum, and copper to the UNS N08825 window.

02

Melting and Refining

Next, we melt and refine the charge through AOD or VOD to keep carbon and gas content within limits.

03

Titanium Addition

We then add titanium to target so carbon stays tied up and the bar resists intergranular attack.

04

Hot Working

After that, we forge and roll ingots to bar section, refining the cast structure as the size reduces.

05

Annealing

We anneal the bar between 927 and 1010 °C and rapidly cool it to restore corrosion resistance.

06

Cold Finishing

Drawing, peeling, or centreless grinding then brings the bar to the ordered diameter, tolerance and surface.

07

Pickling and Passivation

We remove scale and oxide so the surface stays clean for acid service.

08

Final Verification

Finally, we check chemistry, tensile properties, hardness, and dimensions before we release the bar.

NACE MR0175

Sour-Service Scope

Incoloy 825 bar meets NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 for sour service, and we provide heat-specific hardness and chemistry records when your order requires them.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Strict Quality Control From Production To Delivery

We release no bar until we prove the ordered ASTM B425 requirements on the heat. Because the heat matters, a spectrometer confirms chemistry against the N08825 window. In addition, we record tensile, hardness, and A262 intergranular results where your specification requires them.

01

Chemistry Against N08825

We measure molybdenum and copper levels per heat and check them against the ASTM B425 limits.

02

Mechanical Testing on the Ordered Condition

For the condition actually shipped, we record tensile and hardness results.

03

Surface and Dimensional Checks

We measure diameter, straightness, and finish to the applicable B425 tolerance class, adding PMI where specified.

04

Heat-Linked Documentation

Consequently, certificates carry the heat number, so incoming inspection can trace any bar back to its test data.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Technical Specifications

Detailed technical information including chemical composition, mechanical properties, standards and available dimensions.

Chemical Composition

The limits below follow ASTM B425 for UNS N08825 bar and rod, with iron as the balance of the melt. Because molybdenum and copper set the acid-resistance balance while titanium stabilises the structure, the mill test certificate governs final acceptance.

Element Content
Nickel (Ni) 38.0–46.0%
Chromium (Cr) 19.5–23.5%
Iron (Fe) 22.0% min.
Molybdenum (Mo) 2.5–3.5%
Copper (Cu) 1.5–3.0%
Titanium (Ti) 0.6–1.2%
Carbon (C) 0.05% max.
Manganese (Mn) 1.00% max.
Silicon (Si) 0.50% max.
Aluminium (Al) 0.20% max.
Sulfur (S) 0.03% max.

Mechanical Properties

Values below separate the ASTM B425 minimums from results typically measured on annealed bar. The standard sets one condition for rod and bar; therefore, we agree cold-drawn or high-strength requirements at quotation. Confirm the ordered condition with your enquiry.

Condition Tensile Strength Yield Strength (0.2%) Elongation Hardness
Annealed — ASTM B425 minimum ≥85 ksi (586 MPa) ≥35 ksi (241 MPa) 30% 200 HB max.
Annealed bar — typical values 100 ksi (690 MPa) 47 ksi (324 MPa) 45% Approx. 75 HRB

Alloy 825 is not age-hardenable, so any strength above the annealed minimum comes from cold work. Bar for sour service is usually ordered to a hardness ceiling as well as a strength floor.

Physical Properties

Typical room-temperature values below support design work rather than acceptance testing. In addition, Alloy 825 stays non-magnetic across its working range, which suits instrument and magnetically sensitive assemblies.

Property Value
Density Approx. 8.14 g/cm³
Melting range Approx. 1370–1400 °C
Modulus of elasticity Approx. 196 GPa
Thermal conductivity at 20 °C Approx. 11.1 W/m·K
Specific heat at 20 °C Approx. 440 J/kg·K
Electrical resistivity at 20 °C Approx. 1.13 µΩ·m
Thermal expansion, 20–100 °C Approx. 14.1 µm/m·K
Curie temperature Below −196 °C
Magnetic behaviour Non-magnetic at ambient temperature
