Nickel Alloy 825 in Sheet, Plate, Bar
SPECIFICATIONS: GRADE Alloy 825 | UNS N08825 | ASTM/ASME B424 / B425 | Werkstoff 2.4858
Castle Metals are a stockholder of alloy 825 and a supplier in sheet, plate, and bar forms. We can meet requirements in size and shape with our large cutting capabilities as well as quality standards required in various industries.
Properties
Alloy 825 (UNS N08825) is a titanium-stabilised fully austenitic Ni-Fe-Cr alloy with additions of copper and molybdenum.
These alloys are characterised by:
- Good resistance to stress-corrosion cracking
- Satisfactory resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
- Good resistance to oxidising and non-oxidising hot acids
- Good mechanical properties at both room and elevated temperatures, up to approximately 550°C (1020°F)
- Permission for pressure-vessel use at wall temperatures up to 425°C (800°F)

Conditional Stress Values
The higher conditional stress values of up to 90% of the yield strength at temperature may be used for applications in which slightly greater deformation is acceptable. These stresses may result in dimensional changes due to permanent strain and are not recommended for flanges of gasketed joints.
Metallurgical Structure
Alloy 825 has a stable face-centred cubic structure. The chemical composition and optimised annealing treatment ensure that corrosion resistance is not impaired by sensitisation.
Corrosion Resistance
Alloy 825 is a versatile general engineering alloy with resistance to corrosion in acids and alkalis under both oxidising and reducing conditions.
High nickel content gives the alloy virtual immunity to stress corrosion cracking.
Corrosion resistance is good in media as diverse as sulphuric, sulphurous, phosphoric, nitric and organic acids, alkalis such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, and aqueous chloride solutions.
The versatility of alloy 825 is illustrated by its use in nuclear fuel element dissolvers where a variety of corrosive media, e.g. sulphuric and nitric acids and sodium hydroxide, are handled in the same equipment.
