Inconel Alloy

INCONEL

Neeka Tubes exporter and supplier of Inconel alloys C- 276, HX, 22, 600, 601, 625 & 718 in the form of Plate, Sheet, Bar, Wire, Pipe, Tubing, Pipe Fittings, Flanges and Electrode.

The registered trademark name, Inconel, is applied as the prefix name to more than twenty different highly corrosion resistant high temperature strength metal alloys produced by Special Metals Corporation. These Inconel alloys or superalloys are nickel-based alloys that exhibit traits such as high resistance to corrosion, oxidation, carburization, pitting, crevice, corrosion cracking, and high temperature strength. Often, Inconel is referred to as “Inco”.

Alloys of identical chemical and mechanical properties are available from other manufacturers and offer excellent alternatives to the various Inconel® brand alloys.

The corrosion-resistant superalloys are widely used in extreme environments where tremendous heat and corrosion resistance is paramount to the integrity of the end product. Chemical processing, nuclear, petrochemical, aerospace and marine industries widely use these superalloys.

What are the Characteristics of Inconel?

• Good resistance to acids, such as sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric, and hydrochloric
• Almost completely free from chloride induced stress corrosion cracking
• Excellent mechanical properties at both extremely low and extremely high temperatures
• Outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and intercrystalline corrosion
• High resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures

In what Applications are Inconel alloys used?

• Chemical and petrochemical processing
• Components where exposure to high mechanical stress and sea water are required
• Flare stacks on offshore oil platforms
• Gas turbines, rocket motors/engines, and space craft
• Pollution control equipment
• Nuclear reactors

Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy used for applications that require corrosion and high temperature resistance. This nickel alloy was designed for service temperatures from cryogenic to elevated temperatures in the range of 2000° F. It is non-magnetic, has excellent mechanical properties, and presents the desirable combination of high strength and good weldability under a wide range of temperatures. The high nickel content in Inconel 600 enables it to retain considerable resistance under reducing conditions, makes it resistant to corrosion by a number of organic and inorganic compounds, gives it excellent resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking and also provides excellent resistance to alkaline solutions. Typical applications of this nickel alloy include the chemical, pulp and paper, aerospace, nuclear engineering and heat treating industries.

What are the characteristics of Inconel 600?

• Resistant to a wide range of corrosive media.
• Virtually immune to chlorine ion stress corrosion cracking
• Non-magnetic
• Excellent mechanical properties
• High strength and good weldability under a wide range of temperatures
