Material Introduction to Inconel 601

Inconel 601 chemical composition：

Inconel 601 physical property ：

Minimum mechanical properties of Inconel 601 alloy at room temperature:

This alloy exhibits the following characteristics:

1. Excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures.

2. Good resistance to carburization.

3. Effective resistance against sulfur-bearing atmospheres.

4. Excellent mechanical properties at both room and elevated temperatures.

5. Good resistance to stress corrosion cracking due to controlled carbon content and grain size; thus, Alloy 601 is recommended for use above 500°C.

Microstructure of Inconel 601:

Alloy 601 has a face-centered cubic crystal structure.

Corrosion Resistance of Inconel 601:

A significant feature of Alloy 601 is its oxidation resistance up to temperatures of 1180°C. Even under severe conditions, such as heating and cooling cycles, 601 can form a dense oxide layer which provides high resistance to spalling. Alloy 601 also exhibits good carburization resistance. Due to its high chromium and aluminum content, it has excellent oxidation resistance in high-temperature sulfur-containing atmospheres.

Applications of Inconel 601 include:

1. Trays, baskets, and fixtures used in heat treatment plants.

2. Components such as strand annealing and radiant tubes, high-speed gas burners, and wire mesh belts in industrial furnaces.

3. Isolation tanks in ammonia reforming and catalyst support grids in nitric acid production.

4. Components of exhaust systems.

5. Combustion chambers in solid waste incinerators.

6. Supports for piping and parts for ash handling.

7. Components of waste gas detoxification systems.

8. Oxygen preheaters.
