Spotlight on Alloy 725

09 April 2020


Alloy 725 is a key grade for Special Quality Alloys with a wide range of bar stock and forging capabilities on site here in Sheffield, UK

A precipitation hardenable Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum based super-alloy with high strength combined with excellent corrosion resistance. Offers similar strength to Alloy 718, with additional benefit of corrosion resistance similar to that provided by Alloy 625.

Stock range

From 25.4mm DIA to 210mm DIA

Processing

From our own ingot/billet stock, we regularly manufacture a wide range of shaped forgings such as rings, blocks and tubing hangers. With on site forging and ring rolling capabilities, we will control the full process through to heat treatment, testing and machining all within the Special Steel Group of companies.
