Grade 1 (Annealed) Nickel Alloy 625
Grade 1 nickel 625 is nickel 625 in the annealed condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare grade 1 nickel 625 to: wrought nickels (top), all nickel alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
