Heat treatment

Manufacturer data

  • Heat treatment in the catalog data: 1100 °C for 1.5 hours, which trades strength for ductility (elongation ≥ 48%).
  • Use the stress-relief and HIP cycle your specification calls for.

Common questions

What is CNPC Powder Inconel 625 nickel alloy powder?
CNPC Powder Inconel 625 nickel alloy powder is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum superalloy with high strength and toughness and outstanding corrosion resistance in oxidizing and reducing environments. It is a 15–53 µm cut for laser powder bed fusion, with 20.0–23.0% chromium, 8.0–10.0% molybdenum and 3.15–4.15% niobium, with nickel as the balance. Typical uses listed by CNPC include aerospace parts, chemical processing equipment and oil and petrochemical parts.
What strength does printed Inconel 625 nickel alloy reach with this powder?
According to the CNPC Powder catalog, as-built parts reach at least 731 MPa yield and 1,027 MPa tensile strength with 34% elongation and 99.95% relative density. After 1100 °C for 1.5 hours the catalog lists at least 417 MPa yield, 881 MPa tensile and 48% elongation. These are minimum values from the data sheet, not design data, so qualify the alloy on coupons from your own machine and parameters.
How is Inconel 625 nickel alloy heat treated after printing?
625 is strengthened by solid solution, so it is not aged like 718. The catalog lists properties after 1100 °C for 1.5 hours, which lowers strength and raises elongation to at least 48%. Use the stress-relief or HIP cycle your specification calls for and qualify it on coupons from your machine. Our materials engineer can help you plan test coupons and starting parameters before your first production build.
What particle size and flow does CNPC Powder Inconel 625 nickel alloy powder have?
CNPC Powder Inconel 625 nickel alloy powder is a 15–53 µm cut. The CNPC catalog specifies D10 of 10–25 µm, D50 of 25–40 µm and D90 of 40–60 µm, Hall flow of 20 s per 50 g or less, apparent density of at least 3.5 g/cm³ and sphericity of at least 80%. The certificate of analysis for your lot reports the measured particle size distribution and chemistry, and it is available on request.
Who makes CNPC Powder Inconel 625 nickel alloy powder?
CNPC Powder makes it in China. Its catalog lists EIGA, VIGA, PREP and plasma spheroidization production lines and ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 13485 and IATF 16949 certificates, as stated by CNPC. Additive Plus sells and supports it in the US, with recommended starting parameters and the lot certificate on request.
How is CNPC Powder Inconel 625 nickel alloy powder different from PowderRange 625 from Carpenter Additive?
Both are listed in the table at the top of this page with their prices, particle size and availability. CNPC Powder Inconel 625 nickel alloy powder is made in China and is the lower-priced option per kilogram, while PowderRange 625 from Carpenter Additive comes with a named mill's published datasheet and ships from US stock when available. Choose by your program's country-of-origin rules, budget and timing.
How do I order CNPC Powder Inconel 625 nickel alloy powder, and when does it ship?
Add it to the cart and pay by card or PayPal, choose Invoice me at checkout to receive an invoice for bank transfer, or send a purchase order to [email protected]. After you order, we confirm availability and the ship date by email. If that date does not work for you, we cancel the order and refund it in full. For 100 kg or more, ask us for a volume quote.
