Womic Stainless Steel Co., Ltd
Exceptional Pitting and Crevice Corrosion Resistance:
High chromium (20–23%) and molybdenum (8–10%) content provide outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-containing environments, seawater, and sour service, with PRE (Pitting Resistance Equivalent) ≥ 45.
Superor Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance:
High nickel content (≥58%) provides outstanding resistance to chloride-induced SCC and sulfide-induced SSCC, significantly outperforming Alloy 825 and all stainless steel grades.
Outstanding Resistance to Oxidizing and Reducing Acids:
Excellent performance in both oxidizing acids (nitric, chromic) and reducing acids (sulfuric, hydrochloric, phosphoric), with particularly outstanding resistance to hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).
Excellent Resistance to Sour Service (H₂S):
Fully compliant with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 for sour service applications up to 232°C (450°F), with higher allowable H₂S partial pressures than Alloy 825.
Exceptional High-Temperature Strength and Oxidation Resistance:
Maintains excellent mechanical properties up to 980°C (1800°F) with outstanding creep resistance, oxidation resistance, and carburization resistance.
Niobium Stabilization – No Sensitization:
Niobium addition (3.15–4.15%) stabilizes the alloy against intergranular corrosion and sensitization, eliminating the need for post-weld heat treatment.
Excellent Resistance to Seawater and Biofouling:
Superior performance in seawater applications with excellent resistance to biofouling and marine corrosion.
Good Heat Transfer Efficiency:
Thermal conductivity comparable to other nickel alloys, with excellent heat transfer performance in corrosive environments.
Excellent Weldability:
Nickel-based alloy offers excellent weldability with matching filler metals (ERNiCrMo-3 or ERNiCrMo-4), suitable for tube-to-tubesheet welding. No preheat or post-weld heat treatment required.
High Resistance to Erosion and Corrosion Fatigue:
Outstanding resistance to high-velocity seawater, slurry, and erosion-corrosion applications.
Precision Dimensional Accuracy:
Strict tolerances on outside diameter (OD), wall thickness, and concentricity ensure proper fitment in tube sheets.
International Certification:
Tubes can be certified by ABS, BV, DNV, LR, GL, RINA, CCS, KR, and NK, and comply with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156, ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, and NORSOK M-630 standards.

Critical Note: Alloy 625 maintains excellent strength and oxidation resistance up to 980°C, significantly higher than Alloy 825 (540°C max). This makes Alloy 625 the preferred choice for high-temperature heat exchanger applications in petrochemical, refining, and power generation.
Alloy 625 Heat Exchanger Tubes are normally supplied in the annealed condition (solution annealed at 1095–1205°C) followed by rapid cooling (water quenching or rapid air cooling). This heat treatment:
1. Dissolves precipitated carbides and intermetallic phases.
2. Relieves internal stresses from cold drawing or cold pilgering.
3. Restores optimum corrosion resistance and ductility.
4. Ensures niobium stabilization is effective.
Critical Note: Alloy 625 is niobium-stabilized, which prevents sensitization and intergranular corrosion after welding. Unlike many stainless steels, Alloy 625 can be used in the as-welded condition without post-weld heat treatment for virtually all corrosive environments. This is a significant advantage for field fabrication.
Delivery Condition:
Tubes are normally supplied in annealed and pickled condition, providing a clean,
smooth surface and excellent corrosion resistance. Upon request, bright annealed (BA) finish
can be provided for applications requiring ultra-clean internal surfaces.
Womic Steel adopts advanced production technology to ensure each Alloy 625 Heat Exchanger Tube meets exact specifications with flawless surface quality and precise dimensional accuracy.
· Raw Material Selection: High-quality Alloy 625 (UNS N06625) nickel alloy billets from certified premium mills (Special Metals, VDM Metals, Haynes International, Sandvik) with certified chemical composition (Ni ≥58%, Cr 20–23%, Mo 8–10%, Nb 3.15–4.15% verification) and traceability.
· Heating and Piercing: Billets heated to a controlled high temperature (due to high nickel and molybdenum content) and pierced using a rotary piercing mill to form hollow shells. Temperature control is critical.
· Hot Rolling: Shells elongated and rolled to desired intermediate size with strict temperature control. High-strength nickel alloys require careful reduction rates and frequent inspections.
· Cold Drawing / Cold Pilgering: Tubes refined to precise dimensions with improved surface finish. Multiple passes with intermediate annealing required due to high work hardening rate.
· Solution Annealing: Heat treatment at 1095–1205°C to dissolve carbides and restore properties. Performed in controlled atmosphere furnaces for bright annealed finish.
· Pickling & Passivation: Removal of oxides using specialized pickling acids optimized for nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys; thorough rinsing required.
· Straightening and Dimensional Calibration: Ensures consistent roundness, straightness, and wall uniformity. Special attention to OD tolerance for tube sheet fitment.
· Cutting and End Finishing: Tubes cut to precise lengths with square ends, deburred, and prepared for tube sheet insertion.
· Final Inspection & Marking: Each tube tested, marked with grade, heat number, standard, and tube dimensions before packing.
This process guarantees a smooth internal bore, high structural integrity, precise dimensional accuracy, and exceptional corrosion resistance across all batches of Womic Steel’s Alloy 625 Heat Exchanger Tubes.
Womic Steel utilizes state-of-the-art manufacturing technology to ensure every Welded Alloy 625 Heat Exchanger Tube meets precise specifications and delivers excellent surface quality and performance.
1. Raw Material Selection: High-quality Alloy 625 (UNS N06625) nickel alloy strips/coils from certified premium mills with full traceability.
2. Slitting & Uncoiling: Precision slitting to required width; edge preparation to ensure clean, burr-free edges for welding
3. Forming & Welding: The strip is progressively formed into a cylindrical shape. The edges are welded using advanced TIG or Plasma welding with:
l Strict heat input control
l Shielding gas: Argon + Helium blend for optimal penetration
l Matching filler metal: ERNiCrMo-3 (Alloy 625) for optimal weld properties
l Back purge with argon to protect weld root
4. Weld Seam Treatment: External weld bead removal to achieve smooth surface flush with base metal. Internal bead may be controlled or removed.
5. Solution Annealing: Full heat treatment of the entire welded tube at 1095–1205°C followed by rapid cooling – essential for restoring corrosion resistance and relieving weld stresses.
6. Sizing & Calibration: The tube is passed through a sizing mill to achieve final precise OD and roundness.
7. Straightening: The tube is straightened to ensure optimal linearity for tube sheet insertion.
8. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) : Weld seam inspected using Eddy Current Testing (ECT) or Ultrasonic Testing (UT). 100% of tube length tested.
9. Hydrostatic Testing: Each tube pressure tested to verify leak-tight integrity.
10.Final Inspection & Marking: Complete dimensional check, visual inspection, and traceable marking.
This controlled process guarantees a sound weld seam, excellent dimensional accuracy, smooth internal surface, and superior corrosion resistance for every batch of Womic Steel’s Welded Alloy 625 Heat Exchanger Tubes.
