In this article, we'll discuss Inconel 600 composition, properties, and applications.

Introduction to Inconel 600

Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy known for its high-temperature strength and excellent corrosion resistance. It is also referred to as Nickel Alloy 600 and UNS N06600. Inconel 600 is composed of nickel (72%), chromium (14%), iron (6%), and other elements like molybdenum and niobium.

The alloy is capable of retaining its mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion under high-temperature environments, making it suitable for use in various industries. Inconel 600 is also known for its outstanding resistance to a wide range of corrosive media, including acids, alkalis, and chloride ions.

Properties of Inconel 600 (UNS N06600) (EN10095):

Inconel 600 has several properties that make it an ideal choice for various applications. Here are some of the key properties of Inconel 600:

  • Corrosion Resistance: Inconel 600 provides excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive substances, including acidic, alkaline, and chloride-containing media. It is highly resistant to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, making it suitable for harsh environments.
  • High-Temperature Strength: Inconel 600 can withstand high temperatures without losing its strength and mechanical properties. It can withstand temperatures up to 2,000°F (1,093°C) without significant deformation or damage.
  • Good Mechanical Properties: Inconel 600 has good mechanical properties, including high tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness. It also has good ductility and can be easily formed into various shapes and sizes.
