Inconel 601 is a nickel-chromium alloy, that is highly resistant to oxidation through 2200°F. 601 alloy develops a tightly adherent oxide scale which resists spalling even under severe thermal cycling. The alloy has good high temperature strength, and retains its ductility after long service exposure.
What are the properties of INCONEL?
Properties of Inconel 718

- Gas turbine engine parts.
Is INCONEL stronger than steel?
Inconel 625® has a higher tensile strength than grade 304 stainless steel, and does a better job of maintaining that strength at higher operating temperatures. This is because Inconel is stronger than stainless steel at high temperatures, while being more resistant to oxidation and scaling as well.
What kind of steel is INCONEL?
Inconels are a class of nickel-chrome-based super alloys characterized by high corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, strength at high temperatures, and creep resistance. Inconel is able to withstand elevated temperatures and extremely corrosive environments due to two factors.
Is INCONEL 601 magnetic?
Inconel 601 wire mesh (aka Alloy 601) is a nickel-chromium alloy, with added iron (~14%) and aluminum (~1.35%), designed for applications requiring resistance to both corrosion and extreme temperatures. Ideal for use in elevated-temperature settings up to 2200°F. Non-magnetic in all conditions.
What is the hardness of INCONEL?

What is Inconel metal used for?
Inconel® is ideally used in the oil and gas extraction industries due to its high temperature resistance and oxidation resistant properties. The oil and gas industries need a superalloy metal, like Inconel®, that can withstand extreme environments and volatile, corrosive gasses.
Is INCONEL 600 stainless steel?
Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy designed for use from cryogenic to elevated temperatures in the range of 2000 deg F(1093 deg C). Inconel 600 exhibits cold forming characteristics normally associated with chromium-nickel stainless steels.
