1. What is an Inconel 600(N06600) sheet/plate?
A unique alloy material with great temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and high strength is Inconel 600(N06600) alloy. It is frequently employed in the chemical, aerospace, nuclear, and other industries. Strong acids, alkalis, and salt solutions won't corrode Inconel 600, and it can also endure their erosion. Even in conditions with high pressure and temperatures, it is not easily worn down or broken. Additionally, it has good heat resistance and oxidation resistance, and it can keep its strength and toughness in situations with temperatures as high as 700°C.
2. Chemical composition of Inconel 600 sheet/plate
Nickel, chromium, and iron make up the majority of Inconel 600. In terms of percentages, nickel makes up roughly 72%, chromium makes up about 16%, and iron makes up 8%. The alloy also contains minute amounts of carbon, sulfur, silicon, carbon, and manganese.
Nickel: As the main component, it provides excellent corrosion resistance and a high melting point while helping the material maintain its good mechanical properties.
Chromium: gives the material oxidation resistance, and increases the hardness, wear, and corrosion resistance of the material, allowing it to maintain its physical properties when heated in a high-temperature environment and then cooled down.
Iron: Increases the hardness and strength of the alloy while reducing the alloy's thermal expansion rate.
