Inconel 600 is a standard engineering material for corrosion and heat resisting applications. The material possesses excellent mechanical properties and Inconel 600 plate has high strength and workability. Inconel 600 material has high nickel content and they can withstand many organic and inorganic compounds.
The Inconel 600 plate suppliers also recommend it for marine applications as it can virtually withstand chloride ion related stress corrosion cracking. It also has chromium which helps to resist sulfur compounds. It shows resistance in oxidizing conditions at high temperatures and corrosive environments.
The Inconel 600 Plate material is not precipitation hardenable, it can only be hardened by cold working. The material is quite versatile and can be used within the temperature range of cryogenic to 1095 °C. They are recommended for the chemical industry in heaters, bubble towers, condensers, evaporator tubes, etc. They are also used in the aeronautical and electronic fields along with nuclear reactors.
Inconel 600 shows good resistance to high temperature environments. Generally, the Inconel 600 sheet can be used from cryogenic to 1095 °C. However, the specific operating temperature depends on the environment, application conditions, loads, etc.
