Inconel 600 Sheet & Plate

Inconel 600 Sheet & Plate (UNS N06600 ,2.4816)

Inconel 600 (UNS N06600) is a nickel-chromium alloy recognized for its exceptional resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and high temperatures. Available in sheet and plate forms, Inconel 600 is used in a variety of applications where durability, strength, and thermal stability are essential. Its resistance to a wide range of chemicals and its ability to maintain mechanical properties at elevated temperatures make it a preferred choice for industries such as aerospace, chemical processing, and power generation.

 

Key Features of Inconel 600 Sheet & Plate

  1. High-Temperature Resistance: Inconel 600 is designed to withstand temperatures up to 2000°F (1093°C) without significant loss of mechanical properties. It retains its strength and stability even under extreme heat, making it ideal for high-temperature applications.

  2. Corrosion and Oxidation Resistance: This alloy exhibits excellent resistance to oxidation and scaling in high-temperature environments, including exposure to gases and steam. It also resists chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking and pitting, which is important in industrial applications.

  3. Good Fabricability: Inconel 600 can be easily fabricated, welded, and machined, making it highly adaptable for complex designs and components. Its versatility allows for use in various forms, including sheets, plates, rods, and tubes.

  4. Strength and Durability: The alloy provides superior strength at elevated temperatures and retains its toughness even in cryogenic conditions. It is often used in applications requiring both strength and resistance to mechanical stress.

Corrosion Resistance

  • Oxidation Resistance: Nickel 600 maintains good oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures due to its chromium content. This makes it ideal for use in environments where the alloy is exposed to high temperatures and oxidizing conditions.
  • Carburization Resistance: The alloy’s resistance to carburization (the reaction of carbon with metals) is also notable, which is beneficial in environments where carbon is present at high temperatures.
  • Sulfur Resistance: Nickel 600 is resistant to sulfur and sulfide environments, which contributes to its durability in petrochemical and gas processing applications.
  • Acid Resistance: The alloy performs well in mildly acidic environments, but it’s not recommended for highly acidic conditions.
  • Stress Corrosion Cracking: Nickel 600 has good resistance to stress corrosion cracking, which is important in high-temperature applications where mechanical stress is a factor.

Fabrication Data

Hot Working

  • Temperature Range: 900–1230°C (1650–2250°F)

  • Rapid cooling is recommended to retain corrosion resistance.

  • Avoid prolonged exposure in the temperature range 540–760°C (1000–1400°F) to prevent sensitization.

Cold Working

  • Readily cold-formed using standard techniques.

  • Intermediate annealing may be required for extensive cold work.

Machining

  • Machinability is moderate; use carbide-tipped tools.
  • Employ low cutting speeds and adequate lubrication to prevent work hardening.
