Inconel 600

Inconel 600 Nickel Chromium Alloy

Inconel® 600

UNS N06600 | W.Nr. 2.4816 | Alloy 600

Inconel 600 is a standard nickel-chromium alloy designed for use from cryogenic to elevated temperatures in the range of 2000°F (1093°C). The high nickel content enables the alloy to retain considerable resistance under reducing conditions and makes it immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking.

  • Formes courantes : Pipe, Tube, Sheet, Strip, Round Bar, Wire.
  • Caractéristiques principales : Immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking (SCC).
  • Heat Resistance: Excellent oxidation resistance up to 2150°F.
  • Soudabilité : Readily joined by conventional welding processes.
Why Choose Inconel 600?

Inconel 600 is a versatile material used in applications that require resistance to corrosion and heat. Its high nickel content gives the alloy excellent resistance to alkaline solutions and chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking, making it a reliable choice for the chemical and power generation industries.

High Temperature Stability

Resists oxidation and scaling at temperatures up to 2150°F (1175°C). It also resists carburization and nitriding.

Résistance à la corrosion

Excellent resistance to dry chlorine and hydrogen chloride gases. It is also resistant to many organic and inorganic compounds.

Stress Corrosion Immunity

The high nickel content (min. 72%) provides virtual immunity to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking, a common failure mode in stainless steels.
