Alloy 600 is a nickel-chrome-iron alloy which is characterized by:

  • Good mechanical properties at low, room and elevated temperatures
  • very good resistance to stress-corrosion cracking , even at elevated temperatures
  • very good resistance to high-temperature corrosion in dry chlorine and hydrogen chloride
  • Good resistance to oxidation, carburization and nitriding

Main fields of application of alloy 600

Alloy600 is versatile. Some Applications of Alloy 600 are:

  • Furnace casing seals, fans and fittings - stable in furnace atmospheres
  • vessels and heat exchanger tubes in the production of vinyl chloride
  • components for the preparation of chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons
  • Tubes for pyrolysis-dichloroethylene – resistant to carburization, chlorine, hydrogen chloride and oxidation
  • Production of caustic alkalis, particularly with existence of sulfur compounds
  • In nuclear reactors for parts such as ducts for control rods, reactor vessels and seals, steam dryers and separators in boiling water reactors
  • Transport rollers, nozzles and other fittings in industrial furnaces
  • Metamorphosis from uranium oxide to tetrafluoride by hydrofluoric acid – stable against hydrofluoric acid
  • Thermocouple Protection Tubes – resistant to carburizing and nitriding atmosphere
