Different fastener grades and material grades of Inconel Fasteners support varied mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, temperature capability, and long-term strength for industrial fasteners. Comparing the available grades below aids precise material selection, aligning engineering applications with specific operating environments, industry standards, loading conditions, and reliability requirements.
| Grade | UNS | Ni % | Key Property | Max Temp | Best Application | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inconel 625 (Most Popular) | UNS N06625 | 58% min | Fatigue resistant | 980°C | Subsea, oil & gas | View grade |
| Inconel 718 | UNS N07718 | 50–55% | High strength | 700°C | Gas turbines | View grade |
| Inconel 600 | UNS N06600 | 72% min | Oxidation resistant | 1177°C | Chemical plants | View grade |
| Inconel 601 | UNS N06601 | 58–63% | Heat resistant | 1200°C | Industrial furnaces | View grade |
| Inconel 800 | UNS N08800 | 30–35% | Carburization resistant | 900°C | Petrochemical | View grade |
| Inconel X-750 | UNS N07750 | 70% min | Spring strength | 980°C | Aerospace, turbines | View grade |
| Property | Inconel 625 | Hastelloy C276 | SS 316L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max service temp | 980°C | 1038°C | 800°C |
| HCl corrosion resistance | Good | Exceptional | Poor |
| Seawater / pitting resist. | Excellent (PREN 51) | Excellent | Moderate |
| Tensile strength (min) | 758 MPa | 690 MPa | 485 MPa |
| Relative cost | High | High | Low |
| NACE MR0175 compliant | Yes | Yes | Conditional |
Verdict: Inconel 625 is the best all-round choice for sour-gas, subsea and high-temperature corrosive service. Choose Hastelloy for pure HCl resistance; SS 316L suffices for cost-sensitive general duty.
