Inconel 690

Inconel 690

INCONEL 690 is a high-chromium nickel-based alloy with excellent high-temperature corrosion resistance, particularly excelling in high-temperature water media, nitric acid, and strongly oxidizing environments. This material provides outstanding resistance to stress corrosion cracking through its high chromium content and is widely used in nuclear power steam generators, chemical processing, and high-temperature corrosion-resistant structural components.

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance

Outstanding Resistance To Stress Corrosion Cracking

Its high chromium content (approximately 30%) gives it excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in high-temperature pure water, chloride-containing solutions, and alkaline solutions, making it particularly suitable for critical components such as heat transfer tubes in nuclear power plant steam generators.

High-Temperature Corrosion Resistance

Excellent High-temperature Corrosion Resistance

Exhibits stability in high-temperature oxidative media (such as nitric acid, high-temperature water vapor) with excellent oxidation resistance, carburization resistance, and nitrogen penetration resistance.

High Stability

Good Organizational Stability

Maintain good microstructural stability during long-term service at high temperatures, with uniform carbide distribution at grain boundaries, excellent sensitization resistance, and ensure good corrosion resistance is retained after welding and thermal processing.

Good Processability

Good Machining and Welding Properties

It exhibits excellent cold and hot working properties as well as welding performance, enabling it to be processed into various forms such as plates, strips, bars, wires, and tubes to meet the requirements of different industrial applications.

High-temperature Performance

 
 

High-temperature strength retention:

At 700 °C, the tensile strength typically exceeds 400 MPa.

Long-term Temperature Range: For high-temperature corrosion applications, the recommended long-term operating temperature range is -200°C to 700°C.

Maximum Intermittent Temperature Resistance: Up to 1000°C.

Corrosion Resistance: Exhibits excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in high-temperature and high-pressure water, oxygen-containing environments, and acidic media. The high chromium content provides good oxidation and carburization resistance in high-temperature oxidizing atmospheres.

Sensitization Resistance: Optimized carbon content and stabilization treatment ensure the material maintains good resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding and thermal processing.
