A practical cross-reference of Inconel 625 equivalents worldwide — UNS N06625, EN/DIN 2.4856 (NiCr22Mo9Nb), JIS NCF 625, AFNOR NC22DNb, GOST ХН65МВБ, BS NA 43, China NS336 and the AMS aerospace specs — plus how to read the table correctly so a substitution never becomes a failure.

This guide covers ten primary ASTM standards that directly specify Inconel 625 products, plus seven supporting testing standards referenced within them. For each, we explain the scope, key requirements, and how to use it in practice.

This guide breaks the selection process into nine sequential steps that take you from service definition to purchase order, ensuring nothing is missed.

Inconel 625 is a nickel-based superalloy with high molybdenum and niobium, while 316L is an iron-based austenitic stainless steel. The most consequential difference is the nickel-to-iron ratio: Inconel 625 has Ni ≥58% vs ~11% in 316L. This is why Inconel 625 is immune to chloride stress corrosion cracking while 316L is vulnerable above 60°C. The second-most consequential difference is molybdenum: 8-10% in Inconel 625 vs 2-3% in 316L-the primary reason Inconel 625 has PREN ≥45 vs PREN 23-26 for 316L.
