What is Inconel 600

The Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium based alloy also known as alloy 600 or UNS N06600. It is an oxidation and corrosion resistant alloy used in extreme environments at high temperatures and pressures. The Inconel composition is given below:

Ni + Co Cr Fe C Mn S Si Cu
72.0 min 14.0-17.0 6.0-10 0.15 max 1.00 Max 0.015 max 0.50 max 0.50 max

Mechanical Properties

The mechanical properties of this alloy is given for tension and compression tests considering temperature and strain rate.

Tensile Properties

Tensile properties of the Inconel 600 alloy are given below:
