The Inconel 601 nickel alloy is a general-purpose engineering material designed for applications that require resistance to heat and corrosion. The prominent feature of inconel 601 is its high electrical resistance and outstanding high-temperature oxidation resistance within 1200 degree. The heat-resistant alloy also has perfect resistance to carburization and carbonitriding, has high mechanical strength, and is readily machined and welded.
The Inconel 601 nickel alloy is a standard material for various types of heat processing equipment. For instance, industrial heating applications include baskets, trays, jigs and fixtures; in industrial furnaces, alloy 601 is used for radiant tubes, muffles, heating elements, etc. in petrochemical engineering, applications are regenerators, air pre-heaters, etc.
