Applications of VDM® Alloy 625

The soft annealed version of VDM® Alloy 625 (grade 1) is used in the oil and gas industry, the chemical process industry, marine engineering and environmental engineering. Typical applications include:  

  • Equipment for the production of super phosphoric acid 
  • Plants for the treatment of radioactive waste
  • Production pipe systems and linings of risers in oil production 
  • Offshore industry and seawater exposed equipment 
  • Sea water piping in shipbuilding 
  • Stress corrosion cracking resistant compensators 
  • Furnace linings 
  • pipes in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants

For high temperature applications up to 1,000 °C (1,832 °F), the solution treated variant (grade 2) acc. to ASME Code for Pressure Vessels is used. Typical applications include:

  • Flaring systems in refineries and offshore platforms 
  • Recuperators and compensators for hot exhaust gases 


VDM® FM 625 is used as a matching filler metal for corrosion-resistant coatings of less resistant steels (overlay welding). Typical applications include: 

  • Components in the oil and gas extraction 
  • Superheater tubes in waste incineration plants
