Alloy 600

About Alloy 600/ Inconel 600/ N06600/ 2.4816

Alloy 600 is a versatile engineering material known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. Combining high strength with excellent workability, this nickel-chromium-iron alloy is widely used across industries requiring durability in extreme environments.

The alloy’s high Nickel content provides outstanding resistance to a broad range of organic and inorganic compounds, while also making it virtually immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking. Chromium enhances its resistance to sulphur compounds and contributes to superior performance in oxidizing conditions, both at elevated temperatures and in corrosive solutions. Unlike precipitation-hardenable alloys, Alloy 600 gains its strength and hardness exclusively through cold working.

With a temperature range extending from cryogenic levels to over 2000°F (1095°C), Alloy 600 is utilized in numerous demanding applications. In the chemical industry, its strength and corrosion resistance make it ideal for heaters, stills, bubble towers, and condensers in fatty acid processing, as well as evaporator tubes, tube sheets, and flaking trays in sodium sulphide production. It is also extensively used for handling abietic acid in the paper and pulp manufacturing process.

The alloy’s high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance are particularly valuable in heat-treating applications, where it is used for retorts, muffles, roller hearths, furnace components, and heat-treating baskets and trays. In the aerospace sector, Alloy 600 is a critical material for engine and airframe components that must endure extreme heat, including lockwire, exhaust liners, and turbine seals. Its applications extend to the electronics industry, where it is used in components such as cathode-ray tube spiders, thyratron grids, tube support members, and springs.
