FAQs

What is Inconel 617 used for?

Inconel 617 is used in high-temperature applications such as gas turbines, petrochemical reformers, and heat exchanger components due to its excellent mechanical strength and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures.

How does Inconel 617 compare to Inconel 625 or 800H?

Inconel 617 offers superior high-temperature strength and creep resistance compared to 625 and 800H, especially above 900°C. It also has better oxidation and carburization resistance.

Is Inconel 617 weldable?

Yes. It can be welded using TIG or MIG processes with matching filler (e.g., AWS ERNiCrCoMo-1). Preheating is not typically required, but post-weld heat treatment may improve performance in critical uses.

Can Inconel 617 be used in nuclear or hydrogen service?

It is suitable for high-heat and low-pressure nuclear components but not for environments with strong hydrogen embrittlement. For H₂-rich or reducing environments, consult project-specific specs.

What are typical delivery times for Inconel 617 to the Middle East?

From UAE: 5–8 business days
From China: 3–5 weeks
From Europe: 2–3 weeks for standard dimensions

Smart Message

Inconel 617 – Made for Extreme Heat
Combining high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and metallurgical stability, Inconel 617 is the gold standard for petrochemical reformers, turbine combustors, and thermal reactors.
Performs when other superalloys fail.

ASTM Standards – Inconel 617 (UNS N06617)

Inconel 617 is a solid-solution strengthened, nickel-based superalloy for prolonged service in high-temp oxidizing atmospheres.

ASTM B168 – Plate, Sheet

• Hot-rolled and annealed for furnace & structural use
• Common in ducting and catalyst support structures

ASTM B167 – Seamless Pipe / Tube

• Designed for heat-transfer and reformer tubes
• Hydrotested with tensile and creep verification

ASTM B166 – Round Bar, Wire

• Used in gas turbine disks, fasteners, furnace fixtures
• Cold-drawn or hot-finished; ground or turned finishes
