Inconel 625 is a nickel-chromium alloy loaded with molybdenum and niobium, designed to tackle high-temperature and corrosive environments. Our spring wire meets the rigorous ASTM B446 standard, ensuring top-tier quality for aerospace and automotive applications. With a composition of 58% minimum nickel, 20-23% chromium, 8-10% molybdenum, and 3.15-4.15% niobium, it has a density of 8.44 g/cm³ and a melting range of 1290°C to 1350°C. This alloy is built to perform under extreme conditions, from cryogenic lows of -423°F (-253°C) to highs of 1800°F (982°C).
Our Inconel 625 spring wire boasts impressive mechanical properties: a minimum tensile strength of 120 ksi (827 MPa), yield strength of 60 ksi (414 MPa), and 30% elongation at room temperature. It resists oxidation and scaling at high temperatures, making it ideal for springs in hot, corrosive environments like jet engines or exhaust systems. Its standout corrosion resistance handles pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking in aggressive media like jet fuel, saltwater, and exhaust gases.
We produce our spring wire using advanced techniques like vacuum induction melting (VIM) and vacuum arc remelting (VAR), followed by cold drawing and solution annealing at 1700-1900°F. This ensures a uniform microstructure and excellent fatigue resistance, critical for springs under constant vibration and thermal cycling. Available in diameters from 0.005” to 0.125” and various tempers, our wire is customizable to fit your project. Its high weldability, without needing post-weld heat treatment, makes it perfect for complex assemblies like turbine springs or suspension components.
