UNS N06600

Inconel 600

Nickel-chromium-iron solid-solution alloy with good general corrosion and oxidation resistance.

Material overview

The Nickel-Based Alloys catalog describes Inconel 600 as follows: Nickel-chromium-iron solid-solution alloy with good general corrosion and oxidation resistance. Reviewers should evaluate Excellent oxidation resistance at high temperature, good resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking, non-magnetic, and good mechanical properties. The grade record lists Furnace components, heat-treating equipment, chemical and food processing, and spark-resistant electrodes among typical applications. The dataset currently includes 12 property records covering chemical composition, mechanical properties, and physical properties. Standards and form records reference B166, B167, and GB/T 15007 and Bar / Rod, Plate, and Seamless Pipe / Tube. Final supply conditions remain subject to specification, inspection, and export-control review.
