What is the composition of Inconel 617?
Nickel Alloy 617 is a nickel-chromium-cobalt alloy known primarily for its excellent metallurgical stability. Also marketed as Inconel 617, the alloy offers users a number of other outstanding properties, including:
Excellent oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures due to the addition of aluminum
Good resistance in a wide range of corrosive aqueous environments
Resistant to a wide range of destructive reducing and oxidizing media
Cobalt and molybdenum impart solid solution strengthening
Easy to fabricate
Easy to join by most conventional welding techniques
Nickel Alloy 617 offers customers a unique chemical composition, including:
Nickel 44.5%
Chromium 20-24%
Cobalt 10-15%
Molybdenum 8-10%
Iron 3% (max)
Silicon 1% (max)
Aluminum 8-1.5%
Titanium 0.6% (max)
Many industries around the world rely on Inconel 617 or Nickel Alloy 617 for a variety of different processes. The alloy is widely used in pipes, burner cans, chemical production, heat treat baskets, power plants (both fossil fuel and nuclear), and gas turbines both onshore and in the air.
Both Inconel 617 and Nickel Alloy 617 are available through Gnee Steel. Its products are available in a variety of forms including tubes, pipes, plates, round bars, flat bars, forging billets, hexagons, wire and extrusions. All of Continental Steel's mill partners that provide 617 alloy meet or exceed a number of different and stringent industry standards, including ASTM, ASME, SAE, DIN and ISO standards.
