Inconel 600

INCONEL® (nickel-chromium-iron) alloy 600 (UNS N06600/W.Nr. 2.4816) is a nickel-chromium alloy with good oxidation resistance at high temperatures and resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking, corrosion by high-purity water, and caustic corrosion. Used for furnace components, in chemical and food processing, in nuclear engineering, and for sparking electrodes.

The alloy is used extensively in the chemical industry for its strength and corrosion resistance.

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 air frame components which must withstand high temperatures. Examples are Lock wire, exhaust liners and turbine seals.

• Pressurised-water-reactor steam-generator tube.
• Heat exchangers for sodium hydroxide.
• Component used in the manufacture of photographic materials and film processing.
• Oxychlorinator internals in vinyl chloride production.
• Strip for flight recorders.

A good corrosion resistance to the media of reducing ,oxidation and nitridation.

Virtual immunity to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking, even at elevated temperatures. Very good resistance to high-temperature corrosion in dry chlorine and hydrogen chloride.
