Overview of Inconel 600

Inconel 600 offers excellent oxidation resistance and mechanical strength at varying temperatures. It performs reliably in cryogenic conditions up to temperatures exceeding 2000ºF (1100ºC) and is used extensively in furnace components.

 

What Is Inconel 600?

Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy characterized by outstanding resistance to heat and corrosion. The high nickel content provides excellent resistance to chloride-ion-induced stress corrosion cracking and maintains material integrity in strongly reducing environments. Chromium enhances resistance to oxidizing agents, while iron contributes strength and workability.

UNS N06600 maintains mechanical strength at elevated temperatures and resists scaling and oxidation during prolonged thermal cycling. It is commonly used in components subjected to high heat, corrosive chemicals and pressure.

 

Inconel 600 Composition

Inconel 600’s chemical composition is as follows:

  • Nickel: 72.00% minimum
  • Chromium: 14.00–17.00%
  • Iron: 6.00–10.00%
  • Carbon: 0.15% maximum
  • Manganese: 1.00% maximum
  • Silicon: 0.50% maximum
  • Copper: 0.50% maximum
  • Sulfur: 0.015% maximum

This composition conforms to ASTM standards for UNS N06600. If your project requires alternative chemistries or proprietary variants, please specify these details when requesting a quote.

Other Names for Inconel 600

This alloy may also be referred to as:

  • Alloy 600
  • UNS N06600
  • W.Nr. 2.4816
  • Nickel Alloy 600
  • Nickel 600

 

Inconel 600 Applications

Inconel 600 fasteners excel across multiple industries due to their superior corrosion resistance, mechanical strength and thermal stability:

  • Chemical industry: These fasteners are used extensively in heaters, condensers, evaporator tubes and processing equipment that handles aggressive chemicals.
  • Thermal processing: Alloy 600 supports structural integrity and oxidation resistance in high-temperature environments. It is ideal for retorts, muffles, furnace components, heat-treating baskets and furnace trays.
  • Aerospace: Inconel 600 fasteners withstand extreme temperature variations and mechanical stress in aircraft systems such as engine components, exhaust liners, turbine seals and airframe structures.
  • Electronics: UNS N06600 performs reliably in components subject to electrical stress or vacuum conditions, including grid supports, cathode-ray spiders, springs and tube brackets.
  • Food processing: Nickel alloy 600 is ideal for sterilization and high-temperature processing equipment due to its resistance to acids and corrosion.
  • Pulp and paper industry:  Inconel 600 fasteners are valuable in pulp and paper mills due to their resistance to abietic acid.
  • Nuclear reactors: This material provides reliable performance in steam generators and reactor components due to resistance to high-purity water corrosion.
