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.
Corrosion Resistance
Inconel 600 has good corrosion resistance to many media. In feed water systems it is practically free of corrosion. It resists flowing sea water， but will corrode in stagnant sea water. The alloy has fair resistance to sulphuric acid at room temperature， but should not be used in this application at elevated temperatures. Resistance to hydrochloric acid is similar to sulphuric acid. The alloy has excellent resistance to phosphoric acid at room temperature in all concentrations， but is rapidly attacked at elevated temperature. Inconel 600 is practically free from chloride ion stress corrosion cracking. Please consult Austral Wright Metals for advice on your specific application.
Oxidation Resistance
Inconel 600 has good resistance to oxidation at high temperature. It out performs all other alloys for resistance to nitridation in cracked ammonia. It should not be used in sulphur containing atmospheres at high temperature， particularly if the conditions are reducing. It resists dry chlorine and hydrochloric acid gas at moderate temperatures.
Fabrication
Inconel 600 can be hot forged. The surface should be clean before heating. Solution annealing after forging is normal. Inconel 600 is readily cold formed by standard processes and equipment. Work hardening in cold forming may require intermediate anneal.
Machinability
Inconel 600 is reasonably easy to machine (class “C” alloy). Heavy machines， sharp tools， slow speeds and deep cuts to remove the work hardened layer are needed.
Weldability
Inconel 600 is readily welded by the SMAW (manual)， GMAW (MIG)， GTAW (TIG) and SAW processes. Preheat， post heat and post weld heat treatment are not needed. Contamination of the weld pool should be avoided. Inconel welding electrode 182 or Inconel filler metal 82 are normally used as welding consumables. Argon is used as the shielding gas.
