General Description
Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy with excellent resistance to
organic acids and is used extensively in fatty acid processing. The
high nickel content of Inconel 600 provides good resistance to
corrosion under reducing conditions, and its chromium content
provides resistance under oxidizing conditions. The alloy is
virtually immune to chloride stress-corrosion cracking. It is also
employed widely in the production and handling of caustic soda and
alkali chemicals. Alloy 600 is also an excellent material for
high-temperature applications requiring a combination of heat and
corrosion resistance. The excellent performance of the alloy in hot
halogen environments makes it a popular choice for organic
chlorination processes. Alloy 600 also resists oxidation,
carburization, and nitridation.
In the production of titanium dioxide by chloride routes, natural
titanium oxide (illmenite or rutile) and hot chlorine gases reacted
to produce titanium tetrachloride. Alloy 600 has been successfully used in this process due to its excellent
resistance to corrosion by hot chlorine gas. This alloy has found
wide usage in the furnace and heat-treating field due to its
excellent resistance to oxidation and scaling at 980°C. The alloy
also has found considerable use in handling water environments,
where stainless steels have failed by cracking. It has been used in
some including steam generator boiling and primary water piping
systems.
Other typical applications are chemical processing vessels and
piping, heat treating equipment, aircraft engines and airframe
components, electronic parts,
