FAQs

What makes Inconel 600 different from stainless steel?

Inconel 600 has over 70% nickel content, offering exceptional resistance to high-temperature oxidation, chloride stress corrosion, and acidic environments, unlike stainless steels which degrade above 870°C or in halide-rich media.

Can Inconel 600 be used in furnaces?

Yes. It is widely used in furnace trays, retorts, radiant tubes, and other components exposed to long-term thermal cycling up to 1175°C.

Is Inconel 600 weldable?

Yes, using standard GTAW or SMAW processes. Use Inconel filler metals like ENiCrFe-3 (AWS A5.11) for best compatibility.

Is Inconel 600 resistant to hydrochloric acid?

It is resistant to diluted HCl under controlled conditions, but for stronger HCl or reducing acids, Hastelloy C-series alloys are preferred.

How fast can Inconel 600 be delivered to GCC or MENA region?

From UAE stock: 57 business days

From China: 45 weeks including freight and clearance

From Europe: 23 weeks for standard items

Smart Message

Inconel 600 The Thermal & Corrosion Workhorse

With high nickel and chromium content, Inconel 600 thrives where stainless steels fail resisting oxidation, chloride stress corrosion, and high-heat fatigue.

Ideal for reactors, furnace retorts, and chemical vessels.

ASTM Standards – Inconel 600 (UNS N06600)

Inconel 600 is a solid-solution strengthened nickel-chromium alloy for thermal and corrosive environments.

ASTM B168 – Plate, Sheet, Strip

Heat-treated, pickled or cold-rolled

Used in lining, thermal sheaths, chemical reactors

ASTM B167 – Seamless & Welded Pipe / Tube

Designed for high-temperature and pressure systems

Hydrotested + NDT required per spec

ASTM B166 – Rod, Bar, Wire

Round bar, hex, or wire for mechanical applications

Hot-finished or cold-drawn
