Incoloy® 825 is a high-performance nickel-iron-chromium alloy engineered to provide exceptional resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments, including those containing sulfuric, phosphoric, and nitric acids. Its robust composition—enhanced with molybdenum, copper, and titanium—makes it highly effective in resisting pitting, crevice corrosion, and intergranular attack. This alloy is a go-to material across multiple demanding industries such as chemical processing, pollution control, oil and gas, nuclear fuel reprocessing, and marine engineering. Whether it’s used in heat exchangers, piping systems, tanks, or scrubber units, Incoloy® 825 offers long-term durability and reliability in harsh operational conditions. Its stability under elevated temperatures and pressure also makes it suitable for heat-intensive and high-stress applications. Engineers and procurement teams rely on this alloy not only for its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance but also for its cost-efficiency in lifecycle performance.

Incoloy® 825 is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with increased amounts of molybdenum, copper, and titanium. It is designed primarily for excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
Characteristics of Incoloy® 825
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Especially against sulfuric and phosphoric acids.
Good Mechanical Properties: Even at elevated temperatures.
Resistance to Oxidation and Scaling: Up to moderate temperatures (~540℃ or 1000℉)
Stabilized Against Sensitization: Due to the addition of titanium, reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding.
Corrosion Resistance of Incoloy® 825
Check out our chemical composition break down of Incoloy® 825 and find out how each element affects its corrosion resistance.
Acid Resistance
Incoloy® 825 has excellent sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric, and organic acids. This is due to the presence of Copper. Nickel and molybdenum boost resistance to reducing acids and chloride-containing media.
Resistance to Oxidizing
The combination of high nickel and chromium makes it highly resistant to both oxidizing and reducing agents, unlike some stainless steels that are good only in one or the other.
Pitting and Crevice Corrosion Resistance
Molybdenum and chromium protect against localized attack, even in marine or brine environments. The PREN for Incoloy® 825 is ~ 31. Get more information on our blog discussing Pitting & PREN.
Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC)
Nickel content is critical for resistance to chloride-induced SCC, making it superior to stainless steels in harsh environments.
Intergranular Corrosion
Incoloy® 825’s Titanium inclusion ensures resistance by stabilizing the structure against sensitization during welding or heating in the critical range (600-800℃).
Incoloy® 825 Comparison with Other Alloys
Incoloy® 825 has better corrosion resistance than 316L stainless steel in strong acids and chloride environments.
Incoloy® 825 is similar to Alloy 20 with better mechanical properties in high temperatures.
Incoloy® 825 is not as strong in extremely high temperatures or under mechanical load as Inconel® 625 or Inconel® 718. However, it performs better in environments that primarily require corrosion resistance.
