Latest prices for Inconel 601 (UNS N06601) and Inconel 625 (UNS N06625) alloy plates

The price of Inconel 601 and 625 alloy plates varies significantly depending on the supplier, thickness, and order quantity. Generally, Inconel 601 is priced at approximately $15-60 per kilogram, while Inconel 625 is typically more expensive, potentially reaching $35-70 per pound (or even higher), primarily due to its molybdenum content and superior corrosion resistance. Prices fluctuate with the nickel market; for an accurate quote, please contact us directly.

What are the uses of Inconel 601 alloy?

In industrial furnaces, this alloy is used for radiant tubes, muffles, reactors, flame shields, continuous annealing tubes, woven wire mesh conveyor belts, chain curtains, burner nozzles, and resistance heating elements.

 

1. Inconel 601 Price Analysis (UNS N06601 / 2.4851)

601 alloy is the "king of value" for its high-temperature oxidation resistance. Because it does not contain expensive molybdenum, it is generally more affordable than 625 alloy.

Key price factors: London Metal Exchange (LME) nickel price fluctuations, aluminum purity, and sheet thickness (thinner sheets are generally more expensive to process).

Best applications: Suitable for furnace components, heat treatment equipment, and radiant tubes requiring oxidation resistance up to 1250°C.

2. Inconel 625 Price Analysis (UNS N06625 / 2.4856)

625 alloy is a premium alloy because the addition of molybdenum (8-10%) and niobium significantly improves its corrosion resistance and strength.

The higher price is due to its complex chemical structure, which makes it more difficult to roll and process, and the raw material cost of molybdenum is much higher than that of iron or aluminum.

Optimal application areas: Marine engineering, chemical processing, aerospace exhaust systems, and high-pressure environments.

4.Inconel 601 Alloy Sheet Price

Typical price range: Approximately $15 to $60 per kilogram, depending on thickness and surface finish.
Price fluctuations: Some suppliers quote $17-30 per kilogram, while others may quote around $20-40 per kilogram, with lower prices possible for bulk orders.

Inconel 625 Sheet Price
General cost: Typically quoted between $35 and $70 per pound, but prices may be higher.
Influencing factors: Price largely depends on thickness (e.g., thinner sheets may have a higher unit price), surface finish, and specific ASTM/ASME standards.

5.Key Pricing Factors for Inconel 601 and Inconel 625 Alloy Plates:

Nickel Market: Since these alloys are nickel-based, fluctuations in nickel prices directly impact their cost.
Alloy Composition: Inconel 625 plates contain molybdenum, giving them better corrosion resistance than Inconel 601 (which does not contain molybdenum), which also contributes to its higher price.
Suppliers and Quantity: Prices vary significantly among different distributors, and larger orders typically qualify for more favorable unit pricing.
Thickness and Dimensions: Thinner gauges and specific cut sizes will have different pricing than standard plate sizes.

To obtain accurate current pricing, you must request quotes from several certified metal suppliers, specifying the exact dimensions, thickness, and certifications required for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions - Inconel 601 and 625 Pricing

Q: How often does the price of Inconel 625 sheet change?

A: Prices are updated daily, based on the London Metal Exchange (LME) nickel and molybdenum surcharges.

Q: Can GNEE offer price guarantees for large projects?

A: Yes, we offer fixed-price contracts for long-term projects and arrange delivery dates to help you manage budget risks.

Q: Does thickness affect the price per kilogram?

A: Yes. Cold-rolled thin sheets (thickness less than 3 mm) typically have a higher unit price than hot-rolled thick sheets due to the additional rolling passes required.

Q: What are the differences between Inconel 625 and Inconel 601?

A: Let's compare these two materials to see which one is more suitable for your needs. Inconel 601 has a melting point of 2467°F (1350°C), while Inconel 625 has a melting point of 2375°F (1310°C). At room temperature, the tensile strength of Inconel 601 ranges from 590-930 MPa, while Inconel 625 has a slightly higher tensile strength of 690-895 MPa.

Q: What are the disadvantages of Inconel 625?

A: Disadvantages: High cost: Due to its complex composition and high production costs, Inconel 625 is significantly more expensive than many other materials. Difficult to process: The toughness of Inconel 625 makes it more difficult to process, requiring specialized tools and processes.
