625 Inconel
625 series hose and braid is made with Inconelยฎ 625, a superalloy with excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature properties. Whereas the maximum service temperature for the 300 series stainless steels is 1500ยฐF – ideally 1000ยฐF for non H-Grade alloysโthe maximum for Inconel 625 is 1800ยฐF!
Given the 300 series stainless steels are notoriously sensitive to chlorides and pitting corrosion, Inconel 625 can be a better design choice in applications involving such aggressive media. Just consider the fact that Inconel 625 has a PREN more than double the PREN of 316L, 46.4 – 56.0 versus 22.6 – 27.9. The higher the PREN, the more successfully an alloy will resist pitting corrosion, and subsequent failure.
