Description
Inconel 601 Plate – ASTM B168 Nickel Alloy Sheet for Heat & Corrosion Resistance
The Inconel 601 Plate is a high-performance nickel-chromium-iron alloy product specifically engineered to withstand extreme heat, thermal cycling, and corrosive atmospheres. Developed by Special Metals Corporation, Inconel 601 (UNS N06601, Werkstoff 2.4851) is one of the most reliable and versatile materials used in demanding industrial environments such as thermal processing, chemical treatment, aerospace, and power generation.
Conforming to the ASTM B168 standard, our Inconel 601 plates are available in custom and standard dimensions, optimized for structural stability and resistance to scaling, spalling, and carburization.
📌 Key Highlights
✅ ASTM B168 Certified – Guaranteed compliance with international specifications for chemical and mechanical properties.
✅ Excellent Oxidation Resistance – Functions continuously at temperatures exceeding 2200°F (1200°C).
✅ Superior Corrosion Resistance – Effective in both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres, including sulfuric, nitric, and hydrochloric acids.
✅ High Mechanical Strength – Outstanding tensile properties maintained under thermal stress and after long-term service.
✅ Excellent Metallurgical Stability – Resists grain growth and structural degradation at elevated temperatures.
✅ Weldable & Fabrication-Friendly – Suitable for TIG, MIG, and resistance welding processes.
🧪 Chemical Composition (Typical, wt%)
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Nickel (Ni) | 58.0–63.0 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 21.0–25.0 |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance |
| Aluminum (Al) | 1.0–1.7 |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.10 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1.0 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.5 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.015 |
| Copper (Cu) | ≤ 1.0 |
This specific alloy formulation contributes to inert oxide formation, which protects the plate during oxidation and nitridation at high temperatures.
⚙️ Mechanical Properties (Room Temperature)
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 550 MPa (80 ksi) |
| Yield Strength (0.2%) | ≥ 205 MPa (30 ksi) |
| Elongation | ≥ 30% |
| Hardness | 160–200 HB |
| Density | 8.11 g/cm³ |
| Melting Range | 1360–1411°C |
The Inconel 601 Plate maintains these mechanical characteristics even after long-term exposure to extreme temperatures, making it a top choice for applications where standard stainless steels would fail.
🏭 Typical Applications
