Nickel Alloy Properties
Alloy 600 (UNS N06600) is a nickel-chromium-iron, solid solution strengthened alloy used for applications that require corrosion and elevated temperature resistance. Service temperatures for alloy 600 can be from cryogenic to 1094°C. Inconel 600 also has good workability, weldability and high strength. With 72% minimum nickel, alloy 600 is resistant to many organic and inorganic compounds and also offers good corrosion resistance in reducing conditions. The high nickel content lowers the chances for stress corrosion cracking for UNS N06600 in the annealed condition. The high nickel content also improves resistance to carburizing, nitriding and thermal fatigue, while maintaining an austenitic structure so Alloy 600 retains ductility. Increased chromium in the alloy offers high temperature resistance to sulfur compounds as well as resistance to oxidizing compounds at elevated temperatures or in corrosive media.
