ASTM B166 Inconel 600 Nickel Alloy Bright Annealed Round Bar
ASTM B166 Inconel 600 Nickel Alloy Bright Annealed Round Bar
ASTM B166 Inconel 600 nickel alloy bright annealed round bar is a special form of nickel-chromium-iron alloy (UNS N06600) manufactured in accordance with ASTM B166. It features a bright, smooth surface achieved through annealing and cold finishing, and is renowned for its excellent resistance to high temperatures, oxidation, corrosion, and a wide range of chemical environments. This makes bright annealed round bar suitable for demanding applications in industries such as chemical processing, power generation, aerospace, and nuclear reactors.
What are the specifications for Alloy 600?
Alloy 600 is a non-magnetic nickel-chromium-iron superalloy that combines high strength, hot and cold workability, and high corrosion resistance. It exhibits good high-temperature strength up to 1150°C and is free of stress corrosion.
