Nickel Alloy Metal Mesh
Inconel 625 wire mesh (Alloy 625) is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-niobium alloy designed for applications requiring resistance to both corrosion and extreme temperatures. Due to the solid-solution effects of the molybdenum (~9%) and niobium ([+tantalum] ~3.65%) in the nickel-chromium matrix, Alloy 625 demonstrates superior mechanical performance in extreme temperatures as compared to Alloy 600. As such, Inconel 625 wire cloth maintains outstanding strength and toughness in environments with temperatures from cryogenic to 1800°F. Its high nickel (~61%) content gives Alloy 625 wire cloth excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, chloride stress-corrosion cracking, and a wide array of inorganic and organic compounds. When compared to pure Nickel 200 and Nickel 201, the high chromium (~21.5%) content of Inconel 625 wire mesh gives it superior resistance in oxidizing settings.
