Incoloy 825 Split lock washers
ASME B18.21.1
Incoloy 825 split washers need an elastic recovery requirement alongside nickel–chromium–molybdenum–copper corrosion resistance. Section shape and final temper control compression behaviour; the assembly’s locking method is a separate design choice.

Heat Treatment
AnnealedThe specified anneal restores ductility and the corrosion-resistant supplied condition after hot or cold working.
What we can make in Alloy 825
Free state
The open helical shape supplies initial spring travel as a screw or nut is tightened. Free height and section size determine how much travel is available before the washer becomes flat.
Clamped state
Once flattened, little spring travel remains to compensate for settling. For an assembly needing controlled preload travel, compare a disc spring; for a vibration-critical joint, select a locking method validated for that joint.

Manufacturing route
Wire or profiled section is formed into the helical ring; the split, section and free height are controlled before final condition checks.
Heat treatment & final condition
The final annealed or specified strengthened condition is linked to the lot; an aging treatment is not assumed for a solid-solution alloy.
Working performance
Annealed corrosion-resistant stock is not automatically spring stock. The ordered temper or strengthening route must demonstrate the required recovery and load at working deflection.
Where 825 fits — and what matters
Chemical Processing
Mixer drives and process-equipment bracketsIncoloy 825 split lock washers fit under a bolt head or nut on mixer drives and process-equipment brackets when the assembly drawing calls for a helical washer. Compression and recovery belong to the washer specification. Process liquid can remain at the contact after the exposed surface drains.
Pumps, Valves & OEM
Actuator mounts and pump baseplatesIncoloy 825 split lock washers fit under a bolt head or nut on actuator mounts and pump baseplates when the assembly drawing calls for a helical washer. Compression and recovery belong to the washer specification. Repeated maintenance makes fit, engagement and access part of the component specification.
Mining & Mineral Processing
Leach-equipment and dosing-skid supportsIncoloy 825 split lock washers fit under a bolt head or nut on leach-equipment and dosing-skid supports when the assembly drawing calls for a helical washer. Compression and recovery belong to the washer specification. Leach solution and deposits act on the installed part; corrosion duty is separate from abrasive wear.
Same split lock washer. Different material priorities.
Incoloy 825 material dataInconel X-750
Age-hardened strength and a choice of hot-service heat treatments.
- Connection priority
- Elastic recovery after compression
- Spring treatment versus bolting treatment
- X-750 has several heat-treatment routes. The route for retained spring force is selected around relaxation and working stress; a bolting strength requirement calls for its own specified condition. At the split edges and compressed contact faces, the relevant metal temperature can differ from the process or furnace set point.
Inconel 718
Precipitation-hardened strength for compact, highly loaded connections.
- Connection priority
- Elastic recovery after compression
- Strength after aging
- Machine-stock properties and final aged properties describe different states. The final heat-treatment lot and mechanical results establish the strength available in the installed part. At the split edges and compressed contact faces, the relevant metal temperature can differ from the process or furnace set point.
Inconel 625
Solid-solution strength and resistance to aggressive process liquids.
- Connection priority
- Elastic recovery after compression
- Annealed or solution-annealed 625
- The delivery condition affects strength and high-temperature response. Keep the specified condition with the component’s mechanical acceptance; 718-style aging is not the strengthening route for 625. Include liquid retained at the split edges and compressed contact faces in the exposure description.

Questions about 825 split lock washers
Does corrosion-resistant stock automatically make a spring washer?
The stock needs a condition that provides the required elastic recovery. Record the final temper, compression behaviour and permanent set; a chemistry certificate alone does not describe the spring response.
