Inconel 625 Flanges Manufacturer & Supplier in India
Kalpataru Piping Solution is a trusted manufacturer, Inconel 625 flange supplier, stockist, and Inconel 625 flanges exporter, manufacturing flanges as per the ASTM B564 and ASME SB564 and dimensional standards like ASME B16.5, B16.47, and EN 1092-1. Made from nickel chromium molybdenum niobium alloy stock that is the same heat resistant, corrosion proof material used in offshore platforms, chemical processing plants, marine systems and aerospace, our Alloy 625 flanges, also known as UNS N06625 / WNR 2.4856, are precision formed from certified alloy stock. Our Nickel Alloy 625 flanges are also known as Alloy 625 Flanges and are available in all the standard flanges and can be dispatched on same day.
All the ASTM B564 Inconel 625 flanges supplied are traceable to heat and lot numbers with Mill Test Certificates (MTC) as per EN 10204 3.1 and can be third party inspected by TUV, Bureau Veritas, Lloyds and SGS. From single weld neck flange to bulk project quantity, we have ready stock of blind, slip on and RTJ flange to export it to 80 plus countries around the world from Mumbai, India. For the wider Inconel flange product range, see our Inconel Flanges hub or browse related Super Duplex Steel Flanges.

What Are Inconel 625 Flanges
Inconel 625 weld neck flanges and other flange types are high performance pipe connection components manufactured from Nickel Alloy 625, a nickel chromium molybdenum alloy strengthened by niobium and tantalum additions. Unlike standard stainless steel flanges, Inconel 625 flanges derive their exceptional strength from solid solution hardening rather than precipitation hardening, making them dimensionally stable across a wide temperature spectrum from cryogenic (minus 196 degrees Celsius) service all the way up to 982 degrees Celsius (1800 degrees Fahrenheit) continuous service.
The alloy’s outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, intergranular attack, and chloride induced stress corrosion cracking makes UNS N06625 flanges the preferred choice wherever standard materials fail prematurely, including seawater piping, FGD scrubbers, sour gas lines, and aggressive acid service environments.

Corrosion Resistance Properties of Inconel 625 Flanges
Inconel 625 offers one of the broadest corrosion resistance profiles of any commercially available alloy, making it the flange material of choice in industries where failure is not an option:
Corrosion Type | Performance | Key Contributing Element |
General Corrosion | Excellent, resists a wide range of organic and inorganic acids | High Ni + Cr content |
Pitting Corrosion | Outstanding, PREN greater than 50 | Mo + Nb additions |
Crevice Corrosion | Excellent in chloride bearing environments | Mo content 8 to 10 percent |
Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) | Highly resistant in chloride media | High Ni (58% min) base |
Intergranular Corrosion | Excellent, Nb stabilizes grain boundaries | Niobium (Nb) |
High Temp Oxidation | Resistant to 982 degrees C (1800 degrees F) continuous | Cr protective oxide layer |
Seawater Corrosion | Excellent, widely used in offshore / marine applications | Mo + Ni combination |
Phosphoric Acid | Good, suitable for wet process phosphoric acid | Mo + Cr synergy |
Applications & Industries Using Inconel 625 Flanges
Inconel 625 flanges are specified wherever aggressive media, extreme temperatures, or chloride exposure rules out standard materials. Primary application environments include:
- Oil and Gas: Offshore platforms, sour gas lines, subsea manifolds
- Chemical Processing: HCl, HF, phosphoric acid service, chlor alkali plants
- Marine Systems: Seawater cooling, ballast systems, desalination plants
- Power Generation: FGD scrubbers, flue gas desulfurisation plants, nuclear coolant circuits
- Aerospace: Fuel and hydraulic systems requiring high temperature and corrosion resistance
- Cryogenic Service: LNG systems and applications down to minus 196 degrees Celsius
- Pharmaceutical & Food: High purity piping systems requiring corrosion free, hygienic flanged connections

FAQ's About Inconel 625 Flanges
Yes. Inconel 625 can operate over a wide range, from cryogenic temperatures down to minus 196 degrees Celsius all the way up to 982 degrees Celsius (1800 degrees Fahrenheit) in continuous service. It resists oxidation and scaling at high temperature due to its protective chromium oxide film.
The high nickel content (58 percent minimum) protects against chloride induced stress corrosion cracking, and the niobium plus molybdenum additions strengthen the matrix to resist crack propagation. This makes Inconel 625 flanges the preferred choice in sour service, subsea, and acid environments where standard austenitic stainless would fail.
Yes. The alloy has very good weldability and can be joined by standard methods including TIG and MIG. Machining is possible but demands care, as the alloy work hardens; using rigid tooling and appropriate cutting speeds is recommended. Weld filler metal AWS A5.14 ERNiCrMo-3 is recommended for matching welds.
Grade 1 (annealed) is optimised for forming and ductility, typically used in lower temperature service. Grade 2 (solution annealed) provides higher strength and is specified for high temperature and elevated pressure applications above 593 degrees Celsius. Both are covered under ASTM B564, and Kalpataru supplies flanges in both conditions to order.
Standard supply includes EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates from a NABL approved laboratory, with PMI reports, dimensional inspection records, and heat traceability documentation. EN 10204 3.2 (third party witnessed) is available on request via TUV, Bureau Veritas, Lloyds, SGS, or DNV.
The Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) for Inconel 625 is greater than 50, significantly higher than duplex stainless (PREN 30 to 40) and super duplex stainless (PREN 40 to 45). A higher PREN means the material is more resistant to pitting corrosion in chloride environments, which is why Inconel 625 is specified for seawater, FGD, and acid service applications where super duplex flanges would still be at risk.
