INCONEL 600, (UNS N06600): The Industrial Interpretation of High Temperature and Corrosion Resistance<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

Technical Description<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

Inconel 600<\/b><\/span> is a nickel-based<\/a> super alloy<\/b><\/span> containing essentially 72% nickel, 14-17% chromium and 6-10% iron. This alloy is preferred in critical process equipment because of its structure, which is resistant to oxidation, carburisation and chloride stress corrosion cracking at high temperatures. Bringing together medium grade mechanical strength with superior oxidative resistance properties makes it ideal for both thermally and chemically demanding conditions.<\/p>\n

Inconel 600<\/b><\/span> shows ductility and formability at high temperature thanks to its face centred cubic (FCC) crystal structure. The specific gravity of the material is approximately 8.47 g\/cm\u00b3<\/b><\/span>, and its melting point is between 1354\u20131413\u00b0C<\/b><\/span>. It largely preserves its strength values even at high temperatures. Its typical mechanical properties at room temperature are defined by approximately 520 MPa tensile strength<\/b><\/span>, 210 MPa yield strength<\/b><\/span> and 45% elongation at break<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The most distinctive property of the alloy is that, under a very wide variety of environments and temperature conditions, it forms a stable passive film layer<\/b><\/span> and thereby prevents corrosive<\/a> agents from penetrating. This property applies in dry chlorine gas, sulphur compounds and oxidising environments at high temperature as much as in acidic and alkaline solutions.<\/p>\n

INCONEL 600 Relevant Standards<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

Inconel 600 has been defined in detail in international standards, especially for fields such as aerospace, chemicals, energy and the nuclear industry. The principal standards are as follows:<\/p>\n
