Inconel 601

Inconel Alloy 601 (UNS designation N06601) is a nickel-chromium-iron based solid solution strengthened alloy. It has good high temperature corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, excellent hot and cold processing and welding properties, and has satisfactory thermal strength and high plasticity below 700°C. The alloy can be strengthened by cold working, and can also be connected by resistance welding, solution welding or brazing. It is suitable for making anti-oxidation parts that can withstand low loads below 1100°C.   

• Trays, baskets and fixtures for heat treatment plant
• Strand-annealing and radiant heater tubes, high-velocity gas burners, wire mesh belts in industrial furnaces.
• Insulating cans in ammonia reformers and catalyst support grids in nitric acid production
• Components in exhaust gas systems
• Combustion chambers in solid waste incinerators
• Tube supports and ash-handling components
• Components of waste-gas detoxification systems.
• Oxygen preheaters

Outstanding resistance to oxidation at high temperatures;

Good resistance to carburizing conditions;

Good mechanical properties at both room and elevated temperatures

Inconel 601 has good resistance to stress-corrosion cracking and is specifically recommended for service above 550 C because of higher creep-rupture properties, resulting from controlled carbon content and coarse grain size
