Alloy 400 vs Alloy 625 Flanges: Material-Selection Questions

Identify the material

Alloy 400 is a nickel–copper alloy (UNS N04400); Alloy 625 is a nickel–chromium–molybdenum alloy (UNS N06625). Require the exact ordered identity and supporting material records.

Describe the process environment

Provide fluid composition, concentration, aeration, contaminants, operating and design temperatures, pressure, cleaning cycles and any corrosion allowance. Ask the responsible engineer to evaluate the conditions.

Define forging and inspection

Specify the applicable ASTM/ASME forging standard, grade/class and treatment. Request heat traceability and the agreed chemical, mechanical, PMI and supplementary inspection records.

Compare complete quotations

Compare offered origin, manufacturing route, documentation, dimensions, facing, bore, inspection and delivery scope. A lower price or similar appearance does not establish equivalence.
