The nickel-chromium-iron alloy Inconel 601 (UNS N06601) is a versatile, general purpose engineering material. It exhibits superior corrosion resistance in a wide range of stress-induced environments. This high-temperature, high-strength material is ideal for many applications where oxidation is the primary concern. It also resists spalling and cyclical heating and cooling.
Innovative Solutions for Critical Processes
Inconel 601 Seamless Pipe is an excellent choice for critical processes that demand high strength and corrosion resistance. It is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy that has high oxidation resistance and low temperature toughness, and is readily formed, machined and welded. In chemical processing, alloy 601 is used for retorts and heat shields in industrial furnaces. It is also used for combustor components in power-generation equipment. It is also used in sour-water strippers and ammonia reformers, and for catalytic support grids in the production of nitric acid.
Moreover, this alloy resists oxidation at temperatures up to 1180 degrees C. This resistance is especially beneficial when the atmosphere contains sulfur-containing gases. Another outstanding characteristic of this alloy is its resistance to intergranular corrosion after exposure to temperatures in the chromium carbide precipitation range. This characteristic makes it a preferred material for applications in aggressive environments.
Mechanical Properties of Inconel 601 seamless Pipes
A nickel-chromium alloy, Inconel 601 seamless Pipes offers exceptional resistance to oxidation and spalling at high temperatures.
