Inconel 600 (UNS N06600) Plates, manufactured to ASTM B168 specifications, represent a versatile nickel-chromium-iron alloy designed for use in environments that require resistance to both extreme heat and high-purity corrosion. With a high nickel content (minimum 72%), this alloy is virtually immune to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking, a common failure point for many stainless steels. The strategic addition of chromium provides excellent resistance to oxidizing conditions, such as high-temperature sulfur compounds or oxidizing acids, while the iron content ensures the material remains robust and cost-effective for large-scale industrial fabrication.

The technical hallmark of ASTM B168 Inconel 600 is its exceptional performance in thermal processing. It maintains high mechanical strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures ranging from cryogenic levels up to 1095°C (2000°F). This makes it an indispensable material for nuclear engineering, heat-treating muffles, furnace components, and chemical processing equipment handling dry chlorine or hydrogen chloride. Because it resists the formation of scales and maintains a clean surface even under thermal cycling, it is widely utilized in the production of high-purity pharmaceuticals and food products. Whether used in vacuum furnace fixtures or jet engine components, Inconel 600 provides a stable, reliable solution for the most demanding thermal and chemical challenges.



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.
