Inconel 600 B168 Plates Features

• » Superior Oxidation Resistance: Capable of withstanding oxidation and scaling at temperatures up to 1095°C (2000°F), ensuring long-term structural stability in furnace and heat-treating environments.
• » Chloride-Ion Stress Cracking Immunity: Due to its high nickel content, this alloy is virtually immune to stress corrosion cracking induced by chloride ions, a critical advantage over standard austenitic stainless steels.
• » High Purity Corrosion Resistance: Renowned for its resistance to high-purity water and caustic corrosion, making it a primary choice for primary water systems in nuclear reactors.
• » Halogen Resistance: Provides exceptional resistance to dry gases such as chlorine and hydrogen chloride, even at elevated temperatures, which is essential for chemical chlorination processes.
• » Cryogenic Mechanical Properties: Unlike many structural materials, Inconel 600 retains its high strength and excellent toughness at sub-zero temperatures, preventing brittle failure in cold-service applications.
• » Excellent Weldability: Can be easily joined using standard welding processes (GTAW, GMAW, SMAW) with matching filler metals, allowing for the fabrication of complex pressure vessels and heat exchangers.
• » Carburization Resistance: Effectively resists carburizing environments at high temperatures, which significantly extends the service life of furnace fixtures and muffles.
• » Broad Chemical Compatibility: Stable in the presence of most organic and inorganic compounds, providing a versatile solution for diverse chemical processing streams.
