Inconel 601

Inconel 601

INCONEL 601 is a nickel-chromium alloy with a high chromium content and added aluminum, offering excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. This material forms a dense and strongly adherent oxide layer in high-temperature environments, making it particularly suitable for harsh service conditions in heat treatment, chemical processing, aerospace, and power generation industries.

High-temperature Performance

 
 

High-temperature strength retention:

At 700°C, the tensile strength remains above approximately 400 MPa. At 900°C, the tensile strength remains above approximately 120 MPa.

Long-term operating temperature range

For antioxidant and anti-carburization applications, the recommended long-term operating temperature range is 700°C to 1150°C

Maximum intermittent temperature resistance: Up to 1200°C.

Antioxidant properties: At 1200°C in static air, the oxidation rate is extremely low, the oxide film has strong adhesion, and exhibits excellent spallation resistance.

Creep resistance: At 700–900°C and under moderate stress, its creep resistance is superior to that of most austenitic stainless steels.
