NICKEL 600

Descriptions of NICKEL 600

Nickel Alloy 600, also sold under the brand name Inconel® 600. It is a unique nickel-chromium alloy that is known for its oxidation resistance at higher temperatures. It is highly versatile and can be used in everything from cryogenics to applications that present elevated temperatures up to 2000°F (1093°C).

Its high nickel content, a minimum of Ni 72%, combined with its chromium content, provides users of Nickel Alloy 600 a number of benefits including:

Good oxidation resistance at high temperatures
Corrosion resistance to both organic and inorganic compounds
Resistance to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking
Works well with most alkaline solutions and sulfur compounds
Lower rate of attack from chlorine or hydrogen chloride
Nickel Alloy 600 and Inconel® 600 are readily fabricated (hot or cold) and can be joined using standard welding, brazing, and soldering processes.

To be called Nickel Alloy 600 (Inconel® 600), an alloy must include the following chemical attributes:
- Ni 72%
- Cr 14-17%
- Fe 6-10%
- Mn 1%
- Si .5%

NICKEL 600 Available Forms:

Bar, rod, sheet, coil
