  • Good oxidation resistance at high temperatures
  • Corrosion resistance to both organic and inorganic compounds
  • Resistance to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking
  • Works well with most alkaline solutions and sulfur compounds
  • Lower rate of attack from chlorine or hydrogen chloride

Because of its versatility, and because it is the standard engineering material for applications which require resistance to corrosion and heat, a number of different critical industries use Nickel Alloy 600 in their applications. It is an superior choice for:

  • Nuclear reactor vessels and heat exchanger tubing
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Heat treat furnace components and fixtures
  • Gas turbine components including jet engines
  • Electronic parts

Nickel Alloy 600 and Inconel® 600 are readily fabricated (hot or cold) and can be joined using standard welding, brazing, and soldering processes.  To be called Nickel Alloy 600 (Inconel® 600), an alloy must include the following chemical attributes:

  • Ni 72%
  • Cr 14-17%
  • Fe 6-10%
  • Mn 1%
  • Si .5%

Nickel Alloy 600 is available from Continental Steel in rod, bar, wire, forging stock, plate, sheet, strip, pipe, and tube. These forms meet or exceed a number of different standards from ASTM, ASME, SAE, AMS, BS, DIN, ISO, QQ, and MIL-DTL.

Overview

As a leading supplier & manufacturer in China, AEETHER supply cost-effective Inconel 600 Products.

INCONEL® (nickel-chromium-iron) alloy 600 (UNS N06600 / W.Nr. 2.4816) is a standard engineering material for applications which require resistance to corrosion and heat. The alloy also has excellent mechanical properties and presents the desirable combination of high strength and good workability.

The high nickel content gives the alloy resistance to corrosion by many organic and inorganic compounds and also makes it virtually immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking. Chromium confers resistance to sulfur compounds and also provides resistance to oxidizing conditions at high temperatures or in corrosive solutions. The alloy is not precipitation hardenable; it is hardened and strengthened only by cold work.

The versatility of INCONEL alloy 600 has led to its use in a variety of applications involving temperatures from cryogenic to above 2000°F (1095°C).

The alloy is used extensively in the chemical industry for its strength and corrosion resistance. Applications include heaters, stills, bubble towers and condensers for processing of fatty acids; evaporator tubes, tube sheets and flaking trays for the manufacture of sodium sulfide; and equipment for handling abietic acid in the manufacture of paper pulp.

The alloy's strength and oxidation resistance at high temperatures make it useful for many applications in the heat-treating industry. It is used for retorts, muffles, roller hearths and other furnace components and for heat-treating baskets and trays.

In the aeronautical field, INCONEL alloy 600 is used for a variety of engine and airframe components which must withstand high temperatures. Examples are lockwire, exhaust liners and turbine seals. INCONEL alloy 600 is used in the electronic field for such parts as cathode-ray tube spiders, thyratron grids, tube support members and springs.

The alloy is a standard material of construction for nuclear reactors. It has excellent resistance to corrosion by high-purity water, and no indication of chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking in reactor water systems has been detected. For nuclear applications, the alloy is produced to exacting specifications and is designated INCONEL alloy 600T.

Mechanical Properties

In the annealed condition, the alloy exhibits moderate yield strengths of 25,000 to 50,000 psi (172 to 345 MPa). Yield strengths in that range, combined with elongations of 55 to 35%, permit the alloy to be fabricated with little difficulty. Heavily coldworked material, however, can have tensile strengths as high as 220,000 psi (1517 MPa).

Values for properties reported in this publication are typical but are not suitable for specification purposes unless stated as minimum or maximum.

Corrosion Resistance

The composition of INCONEL alloy 600 enables it to resist a variety of corrosives. The chromium content of the alloy makes it superior to commercially pure nickel under oxidizing conditions, and its high nickel content enables it to retain considerable resistance under reducing conditions. The nickel content also provides excellent resistance to alkaline solutions.

The alloy has fair resistance to strongly oxidizing acid solutions. However, the oxidizing effect of dissolved air alone is not sufficient to insure complete passivity and freedom from attack by air-saturated mineral acids and certain concentrated organic acids.
