Alloy 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy with good oxidation resistance at high temperatures and resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking. The high nickel content of 72% of the alloy enables it to retain considerable resistance to neutral and alkaline salt solutions and the use in caustic environments. Its chromium content gives the alloy resistance to sulfur compounds and various oxidizing environments.
Characteristics
- Excellent resistance to alkaline solutions
- Virtually immune to chloride in stress corrosion cracking
- Good mechanical properties
- High strength and good reliability under a wide range of temperature
- Poor resistance to concentrated nitric acid
Market applications:
- Furnace components
- Chemical and food processing
- Nuclear engineering
- Heat exchanges
- Thermo couples
