At what temperature does Inconel soften?
Description
Alloy 600 is a non-magnetic nickel-based high temperature alloy that exhibits excellent properties such as high strength, hot and cold workability, and resistance to general corrosion.
The alloy also exhibits good heat resistance and will not age or develop stress corrosion in the annealed to heavily cold worked condition.
Applications
Some typical applications include:
Barge and tank car linings
Carburizing atmospheres
Ethylene chloride cracking furnaces
Heat plates, mufflers, hangers
Gasoline stabilizer production
MgCl2 evaporators
Phenol condensers
Soap manufacturing
Titanium dioxide
Vegetable and fatty acid containers
Corrosion resistance
The high chromium content of Alloy 600 makes it much more resistant to oxidation than pure nickel, while its high nickel content provides good corrosion resistance under reducing conditions.
The alloy exhibits high resistance to stress and brines, exhaust gases, and most organic acids and compounds.
