Nickel Alloy Inconel 625 vs N06110
Nickel Alloy · grade comparison
Nickel Alloy Inconel 625 and N06110 are both nickel alloy grades. Inconel 625 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 490 MPa (71.1 ksi) against 390 MPa (56.6 ksi) for N06110, about 26% more; tensile strength follows at 930 MPa (135 ksi) vs 790 MPa (115 ksi). In exchange, N06110 is the more ductile: elongation 50% versus 45% for Inconel 625, and N06110 is harder (200 HB vs 190 HB). On the shop floor, Inconel 625 welds better (excellent vs very good) and Inconel 625 sits in a lower cost tier (premium, $$$) than N06110 (high, $$$$).
Inconel 625Choose it when strength drives the design, or when it will be welded.
N06110Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
Inconel 625 vs N06110: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all nickel alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.
