Inconel 601 （UNS N06601)

Inconel 601 alloy overview

Excellent oxidation resistance at high temperature, good carbonization resistance, good oxidation resistance in sulfur-containing atmosphere, good mechanical properties at room temperature and high temperature, good resistance to stress corrosion cracking due to control Carbon content and grain size, 601 has higher creep rupture strength, so it is recommended to use 601 in the field above 500 ° C.

Inconel 600 alloy has the following characteristics:

1.Excellent oxidation resistance at high temperature

2.Good resistance to carbonization

3.Good oxidation resistance in sulfur-containing atmosphere

4.Good mechanical properties at room temperature and high temperature

5. Good resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Because the carbon content and grain size are controlled, 601 has higher creep rupture strength, so 601 is recommended for use in areas above 500 ° C.

 

Inconel 601 corrosion resistance:

An important property of 601 alloy is its resistance to oxidation at temperatures up to 1180 ° C. Even under very severe conditions, such as during heating and cooling cycles, 601 can form a dense oxide film and obtain high peel resistance. 601 has good resistance to carbonization. Due to its high chromium and aluminum content, 601 has good oxidation resistance in a high-temperature sulfur-containing atmosphere.

 

Inconel 601 application areas are:

1. Pallets, baskets and jigs for heat treatment plants.

2. Steel wire strand annealing and radiant tubes, high-speed gas burners, wire mesh belts in industrial furnaces.

3. Isolation tank in ammonia reforming and catalytic support grid in nitric acid manufacturing.

4.Exhaust system components

5. Combustion chamber of solid waste incinerator

6. Pipe support and soot handling components
