Thermanit 625 is a nickel alloy welding wire developed by voestalpine Böhler Welding (formerly Böhler Thyssen). Manufactured with high-quality metallurgical processes, the product is widely used for welding nickel alloys, stainless steels, and dissimilar metal joints in demanding environments.

Thermanit 625 welding wire offers excellent resistance to general corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, and chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. Due to its high nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and niobium content, the deposited weld metal provides excellent strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance across a wide temperature range.

The alloy maintains reliable performance from cryogenic conditions around -196°C (-321°F) to high-temperature oxidation environments up to approximately 1000°C (1832°F).

The combination of nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), and niobium (Nb) gives Thermanit 625 equivalent welding wire excellent resistance in both oxidizing and reducing corrosive environments. This alloy system is widely selected for applications requiring resistance to chloride corrosion, seawater exposure, acidic media, and high-temperature service conditions.

The deposited weld metal of Thermanit 625 equivalent welding wire (ERNiCrMo-3) provides excellent mechanical properties under both room temperature and cryogenic conditions. Its combination of high strength, ductility, and impact toughness makes it suitable for demanding welding applications in corrosive and low-temperature environments.

Typical mechanical properties of ERNiCrMo-3 deposited metal are shown below:

These mechanical properties meet the requirements of AWS and ISO welding standards and support reliable performance in applications where both strength and corrosion resistance are required.
