What is Alloy 600?
Alloy 600, also known as UNS N06600 or Inconel® 600, is a standard engineering material for applications requiring exceptional resistance to corrosion and heat. This nickel-chromium-iron solid solution alloy is renowned for its unique combination of high strength, good workability, and excellent resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures. Its high nickel content (minimum 72%) provides outstanding resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking and caustic corrosion, making it a versatile choice for demanding environments. The addition of chromium (14.0–17.0%) enhances resistance to oxidizing and sulfurous environments, while iron (6.0–10.0%) improves the alloy’s overall strength.
Alloy 600 is not precipitation hardenable, but can be strengthened through cold working. It maintains its integrity across a wide temperature range, from cryogenic conditions up to temperatures exceeding 1095°C, making it one of the most versatile nickel alloys available today.
Chemical Composition of Alloy 600 (UNS N06600) per ASTM B166
