Inconel® 600 (Alloy 600) Description

Inconel® Alloy 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy with excellent carburization and good oxidation resistance. It was designed for use from cryogenic to elevated temperatures in the range of 2000°F (1093°C). The high nickel content of the material provides exceptional resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking.

Additional Properties

Corrosion Resistance

Refer to NACE (National Association for Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations

Standard Wire Finishes

Extra Clean: (XC) Extra clean is also referred to as “bright annealed” or “bright annealed and cold rolled”

Grease (round wire only): Drawn in a heavy grease produces an “Ultra bright” finish for decorative applications

Soap (round wire only): Soap is used as a lubricant in the drawing process and is not removed. It acts as a lubricant during customer part forming operation.

A soap finish is available in tempered products.

Plated: Many plating options are available.

*Special finishes are available: Contact Ulbrich Wire Sales with special finish and plating requests.
