Inconel 601 also known as Nickel Alloy 601. It is a general-purpose nickel-chromium-iron alloy. Popular as an engineering material, Alloy 601 is perfect for applications that demand resistance to heat and corrosion. Some of the other properties that draw users to Nickel Alloy 601 and Inconel 601 include:
- Good aqueous corrosion resistance
- Outstanding mechanical strength
- Easier to fabricate and machine
- High degree of metallurgical stability
- Good creep rupture strength
- Readily joined by conventional welding products and processes
As is expected, Nickel Alloy 601 is composed mostly of nickel (58-63%) and also includes:
- Cr 21-25%
- Al 1-1.7%
- Mn 1% max
- Co 1%
- Si .5% max
- Fe balance
- Si .59% max
- S .015% max
Thanks to this unique composition, Alloy 601 is popular in a number of major global industries including:
- Thermal, chemical, and petrochemical processing
- Pollution control
- Aerospace
- Power generation
Within each of these industries, Nickel Alloy 601 and Inconel® 601 are a major construction material for such products as:
- Baskets, trays, and fixtures for heat-treating
- Tubes, muffles, retorts, conveyor belts, chain curtains, and flame shields for industrial furnaces
- Tube supports grid barriers, and ash-handling systems for power generation equipment
- Igniters and diffuser assembles in gas turbines for aerospace applications
