What is Inconel 600 (UNS N06600)?

Inconel® 600 (also known as Nickelvac® 600 and Ferrochronin® 600) is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy known for: It forms a stable, passivating oxide layer, making it ideal for extreme temperature and chemically aggressive environments.

  • Excellent resistance to heat and corrosion
  • High mechanical strength
  • Good weldability and formability
  • Oxidation resistance up to 1093°C (2000°F)

Applications of Inconel 600

Due to its unique properties, Inconel 600 is widely used in:

  • Heat treating: furnace muffles, baskets, trays
  • Gas turbines: blades, seals, combustors
  • Chemical & food processing
  • Nuclear power: steam generators, heat exchangers
  • Aerospace: fasteners, exhaust components
  • Marine & oil and gas: shafts, piping, H₂S/CO₂ service

Machining & Welding Characteristics

Inconel 600 hardens rapidly during machining and requires slow, aggressive cuts using hardened tools. Threading, drilling, and milling are performed using specific techniques to prevent tool wear. Welding is challenging due to cracking in the heat-affected zone; Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) is commonly used, while pulsed laser welding offers higher precision and minimal distortion.
