IN625
SLM / Metal · Nickel · Metallic nickel alloy
IN625, developed in the early 1960s, is still the material of choice for most aircraft engine components at service temperatures below 650°C. It is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy that also contains significant amounts of iron, niobium and molybdenum.

Why choose IN625?Why this material
A combination of corrosion resistance and high strength with exceptional weldability
Resistant to post-weld cracking
Excellent creep-rupture strength at temperatures up to 700°C
A homogeneous, near-void-free structure in SLM processing
Properties can be tuned by heat treatment and hot isostatic pressing
