What Are The Uses Inconel Tubes? 
 
Inconel 625 Tube  is a  material specifically designed  for some of the toughest  conditions of 
usage to be used in fabrication. Inconel ® has an extremely high tolerance for intense heat when 
compared with stainless steel, and does not lose as much tensile strength at 2,000 ° F as other 
steel varieties. 
Inconel, however, is a costly material, one that is better reserved for the correct conditions of use 
where other materials would not perform too. With  this  in mind, here is an overview of  the 
Inconel properties, as well as a few examples of uses where Inconel would be preferable to most 
stainless steel formulations: 
 
How strong is Inconel? 
 
Tensile  strength,  corrosion  resistance,  and  even  resistance  to  melting can  be  evaluated  when 
assessing strength. Compared with the 73.2 ksi of stainless steel, Inconel 625 has a high tensile 
strength range of 103-160 ksi and can sustain its strength at higher operating temperatures. 
While exact measurements differ, statistics published indicate the Inconel melting point range 
from 2,350 ° F to 2,460 ° F (1,290 ° C to 1,350 ° C). While the Inconel melting point is lower 
than that of stainless steel, Inconel 625 at high temperatures is stronger than stainless steel, while 
also being more oxidation and scaling resistant. 
What is Inconel used for? 
In Inconel 718 Tube is between Inconel 330 and 600 when it comes to the nickel content in the 
high-nickel  superalloy  Inconel  band.  Together  with  columbium  and  molybdenum,  this 
combination allows this type of Inconel melting point to be very high and to perform well at high 
heat. Inconel 625 is particularly resistant to chloride pitting, fatigue stress and has a particularly
