Inconel® Alloy 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy known for its excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures and its outstanding performance in corrosive environments. The alloy also offers resistance to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking, corrosion in pure water, and caustic media, such as acids and alkalis.
Due to its versatility, Inconel® 600 is often used in applications where both thermal and chemical stresses play a role.
Inconel® 600 combines thermal stability with high resistance to corrosion and oxidation. The alloy retains its strength and corrosion resistance across a wide temperature range, from cryogenic conditions to approximately 1100°C.
Thanks to the addition of chromium, the material provides protection against oxidation and chloride stress corrosion, while the nickel content offers resistance to corrosive attacks by acids and neutral salts. Furthermore, Inconel® 600 is non-magnetic and excellently workable, both mechanically and through welding.
The combination of mechanical reliability and corrosion resistance makes this alloy suitable for a wide range of industries.
Inconel® Alloy 600 is utilized in sectors where high temperatures and aggressive environments are present. Some typical applications include:
Components of industrial furnaces
Equipment in the chemical industry
Food processing installations
Components in nuclear facilities
Electrodes and electric heaters
The versatility of Inconel® 600 makes it a valuable alloy in applications where oxidation, heat, and chemical exposure converge.
Inconel® Alloy 600 is the solution for corrosive and thermal challenges in demanding industrial applications.
