Inconel Alloy 600 (UNS N06600) is a nickel-chromium alloy designed for use in temperatures ranging from cryogenic to 2000°F (1093°C). Inconel Alloy 600 is non-magnetic and easily welded. The alloy is used in a variety of corrosion resistant applications. The high nickel content of Inconel Alloy 600 provides a degree of resistance to reducing environments, while the chromium content of the material provides resistance to less oxidizing environments. The high nickel content of the material provides excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking.
A versatile nickel-chromium-iron alloy with high temperature resistance to 2000°F (1093°C) and excellent corrosion resistance.
General Properties
Inconel Alloy 600 (UNS N06600) is a versatile nickel-chromium-iron alloy that can be used in temperatures ranging from cryogenic to 2000°F (1093°C) and in corrosive service. The high nickel content ensures that the alloy is virtually immune to chloride ion stress corrosion cracking while also providing corrosion resistance to many organic and inorganic compounds. The chromium content provides resistance to oxidizing environments at high temperatures or in corrosive media, and also resistance to sulfur compounds.
In high temperature service, Inconel Alloy 600 resists oxidation and scaling up to 2000°F (1093°C). It is well suited for applications requiring resistance to carburization or in sulfur-containing environments at moderate temperatures. However, it sulfides readily at elevated temperatures.
Inconel Alloy 600 is nonmagnetic and cannot be hardened by heat treatment, only by cold working. It can be easily welded and machined using standard shop fabrication practices.
