Difference between Inconel 600 and 601 Alloy
Difference between Inconel 600 and 601 Alloy
Inconel 600 is a high-quality high-temperature alloy with a high nickel content, while Inconel 601, due to its higher chromium content and the addition of aluminum, exhibits superior high-temperature oxidation resistance. Inconel 601 is more suitable for applications such as furnaces and heat exchangers because it can withstand higher temperatures and has good resistance to carburization and sulfidation; while Inconel 600 is generally more suitable for applications requiring stronger resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking.
What are the applications of Inconel 601 alloy?
In industrial furnaces, this alloy is used to manufacture radiant tubes, furnace chambers, rotary kilns, flame shields, annealing tubes, woven conveyor belts, chain curtains, burner nozzles, and resistance heating elements.
Difference Between Inconel 600 and 601 Alloy
Inconel 600 and Inconel 601 are two very common high-temperature alloys. Both alloys exhibit good high-temperature performance. Inconel 601, however, contains more chromium than Inconel 600. Therefore, their main difference lies in their oxidation resistance.
This article will compare the similarities and differences between these two alloys in several aspects.
