Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium based super alloy with high corrosion and oxidation resistance at high temperatures. A standard engineering material for applications requiring resistance to corrosion and temperature.

Alloy 600 alloy also has excellent mechanical properties and offers the desired combination of high strength and good workability.

Inconel 600 (nickel-chrome-iron) (UNS N06600 / 2.4816) is a standard engineering material for applications requiring resistance to corrosion and temperature. The alloy also has excellent mechanical properties and offers the desired combination of high strength and good machinability. The limiting chemical composition of the Inconel 600 is shown in Table 1. The high nickel content imparts corrosion resistance to many organic and inorganic compounds, and at the same time immobilizes the chloride-ion stress-corrosion crack. Chromium gives resistance to sulfur compounds and also provides resistance to oxidizing conditions at high temperatures or in corrosive solutions. It cannot be hardened with the Inconel 600 precipitate; It hardens and strengthens only in cold work.

The versatility of the Inconel 600 alloy has resulted in its use in a variety of applications including temperatures above 2000 ° F (1095 ° C) from a cryogenic temperature. Inconel 600 is widely used in chemical industry due to its strength and corrosion resistance. Applications include heaters for the processing of fatty acids, still images, blister towers and condensers; evaporator tubes, tube layers and spray trays for manufacturing sodium sulfide; and abiotic acid processing equipment in the manufacture of pulp. The strength and oxidation resistance of the high temperature alloy makes it useful in many applications in the heat-treated industry. It is used for heaters, mufflers, roller burners and other furnace components and for heat treatment of baskets and trays. In the aerospace field, the Inconel 600 is used for various engine and body components that are resistant to high temperatures. Examples include locking line, exhaust pipes and turbine gaskets. Alloy 600 is used in the electronics field for parts such as cathode ray tube spiders, tiratron grids, pipe support members and springs. Alloy is a standard construction material for nuclear reactors. It has excellent resistance to corrosion with high purity water and no indication of chloride-ion stress-corrosion crack in reactor water systems has been detected.

CORROSION RESISTANCE

The Alloy 600 composition resists various abrasives. The chromium content of the alloy makes it superior to the commercially pure nickel under oxidizing conditions and the high nickel content allows it to retain considerable resistance under the reducing conditions. Nickel content also provides excellent resistance to alkaline solutions. The alloy is resistant to strong oxidizing acid solutions. However, the oxidizing action of dissolved air is not sufficient to provide complete passivity and freedom from attack by air-saturated mineral acids and certain concentrated organic acids.

HIGH TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS

Inconel 600 is widely used in furnaces and heat treatment areas for cookers, boxes, jugs, wire tapes, roller burners and similar parts that require resistance to oxidation. Alloy is a standard material used in nitriding of containers due to their resistance to nitrogen at high temperatures. Inconel 600 has good resistance to carburizing. The Inconel 600 resists attacking sulfur compounds at moderate temperatures, but is subject to sulphidation in sulfur-containing environments at high temperature. Molybdenum disulfide is a lubricant which is sometimes used to assist in the assembly of parts; if the material is then exposed to temperatures above 450 ° F (427 ° C).
