The excellent high strength and corrosion resistance of age-hardenable nickel-alloys have been put to use in marine engineering for many years. Alloy 725 exhibits resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and seawater corrosion along with excellent strength, ductility and toughness in both the annealed and age-hardened condition and the direct age-hardened condition. In these age-hardened conditions, alloy 725 exhibits excellent potential for marine springs, fasteners and hardware.
