Inconel 600 have corrosion resistance to many kinds of corrosive media. Chromium content made it with better corrosion resistance than Nickel 99.2 (alloy200) and Nickel 99.2 ( alloy201,low carbon) in the oxidize environment. Meantime, high Nickel content make this alloy with good corrosion resistance in the reduction condition and alkaline solution, and also effective avoid chlorine-iron stress corrosion cracking.

Inconel 600 Metallurgical structure
600 is face-centered cubic lattice structure.
Inconel 600 Application field：
1. Erosion thermocouple sheath of the atmosphere
2.Vinyl chloride monomer production: corrosion resistance to chlorine, hydrogen chloride, oxidation and carbonation.
3. Oxide shaft chloride converted to six fluoride: hydrogen fluoride anti-corrosion.
4. Corrosive alkali metal produce and usage filed, especially the sulfide use environment.
5. Use Chlorine produce titanium dioxide
6.Organic or inorganic chlorine produce: corrosion resistance to chlorine and fluoride.
7. Nuclear reactor
8.Heat treatment furnace flask and components, especially in the carbonization and nitride atmosphere.
9. Petrochemical works production of catalytic regeneration in the application of more than 700℃ recommended the use of 600, in order to obtain a longer service life.
