Description:Inconel 600 is a nickel base alloy with resistance to a variety of corrosive conditions. The Alloy 600 is used in a variety of corrosion resisting applications. The high nickel content of Alloy 600 provides a level of resistance to reducing environments, while the chromium content of the material provides resistance to weaker oxidizing environments. The high nickel content of the material provides exceptional resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking.

Spiral Wound Gasket Nickel 600 Applications:
Food and chemical processing equipments;
Paper mill and alkaline digesters;
Heat Exchangers.

Corrosion Resistance:
The high nickel content of alloy 600 provide good resistance to moderate levels of reducing conditions. The nickel content of the alloy renders the alloy extremely resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking. Alloy 600 is one alloy used in solutions of magnesium chloride.
In strong oxidizing solutions like hot, concentrated nitric acid, Alloy 600 has poor resistance.
Alloy 600 is relatively unattacked by the majority of neutral and alkaline salt solutions. It is used in some caustic environments.
Alloy 600 resists steam and mixtures of steam, air, and carbon dioxide.
The nickel content of the alloy renders it subject to attack at elevated temperatures in sulfur-containing atmospheres.
