Nickel Alloy Tube Inconel 600 (UNS N06600/DIN 2.4816)

Materrial introduction

Inconel nickel-chromium-iron alloy 600 is a standard engineering material for applications which require resistance to corrosion and heat. The alloy also has excellent mechanical properties and presents the desirable combination of high strength and good workability.

The high nickel content gives the alloy resistance to corrosion by many organic and inorganic compounds and also makes it virtually immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking. Chromium confers resistance to sulfur compounds and also provides resistance to oxidizing conditions at high temperatures or in corrosive solutions. The alloy is not precipitation hardenable; It is hardened and strengthened only bay cold work.

The material properties and application places

The alloy is used extensively in the chemical industry  for its strength and corrosion resistance. Applications include heaters, stills, bubble towers, and condensers for processing of fatting acids; evaporator tubes, tube sheets and flaking trays for the manufacture of sodium sulfide; and equipment for handling abietic acid in the manufacture of paper pulp.

The alloy’s strength and oxidation resistance at high temperatures make it useful for many applications in the heat treating industry. It is used for retorts, muffles, roller hearths, and other furnace components and for heat treating baskets and trays.
