What is Inconel 601?
Inconel 601 is fit for use in the applications demanding greatest elevated temperature heat and corrosion resistance up to 1100oC. Due to presence of nickel, the alloy is highly resistant to oxidation up to 2200oF or 1250oC. It produces extremely reliable oxide layer to prevent spalling under vigorous thermal cycling. High metallurgical stability and fine creep rupturing strength. It avoids SIGMA development and is fit for use in the thermal cycling and shocking operations.
Super alloy 601 has good mechanical properties at high temperatures. Good strength is achieved by cold solution or precipitation strengthening on the base of alloy. The alloy retain fine ductility even after prolong service. It is easily formable, machinable and weldable.
