The difference between Inconel 600 strip and Incoloy 800 strip
The difference between Inconel 600 strip and Incoloy 800 strip
Inconel 600 strip and Incoloy 800 strip are two commonly used nickel alloy strips. They have similar functions, and both alloys are suitable for various industrial applications. However, Inconel 600 alloy strip generally outperforms Incoloy 800 alloy strip in various aspects. On the other hand, Incoloy 800 is less expensive and can be used as a substitute for Inconel 600 in some cases.
What are the differences between Alloy 600 and Alloy 800?
Incoloy 800 has a higher iron content. It has a higher iron content and lower nickel content, while Inconel 600 is less expensive. Furthermore, due to its cost-effectiveness, this alloy is considered an ideal material for high-temperature applications.
What is Inconel 600 Alloy Strip?
Inconel 600 alloy strip is a standard engineering nickel alloy strip suitable for applications requiring corrosion and high-temperature resistance.
This alloy strip also possesses excellent mechanical properties, combining high strength with good workability.
Inconel 600 strip is slit from master coils.
What is Incoloy 800 Alloy Strip?
Incoloy 800 strip is a nickel-based alloy strip with excellent oxidation and heat resistance.
Incoloy 800 strip is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy containing 21% chromium, 32% nickel, and varying amounts of manganese, aluminum, and titanium. In addition to excellent corrosion resistance at high temperatures, this alloy also exhibits good resistance to stress corrosion cracking due to its high nickel content.
Incoloy 800 strip has excellent high-temperature strength and outstanding oxidation and corrosion resistance at temperatures up to approximately 1100°C (2000°F). It also maintains good mechanical properties at low temperatures down to approximately -200°C (-328°F).
