Shanghai Hangbo Alloy Group Co., Ltd. is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer and global supplier of Inconel 600 (UNS N06600), supplying round bars, seamless tubes, and plates to the nuclear, chemical processing, and heat-treatment equipment industries worldwide.
Quick Answer: What Is Inconel 600?
Inconel 600 (UNS N06600, W.Nr. 2.4816) is a standard engineering nickel-chromium alloy containing approximately 72% nickel, 14–17% chromium, and 6–10% iron. It offers excellent resistance to oxidizing and reducing environments, immunity to chloride stress-corrosion cracking, and mechanical strength from cryogenic temperatures up to 1175°C (2150°F), making it a workhorse alloy for furnace components, chemical plants, and nuclear reactors.
Key standards: ASTM B166 (bar/rod), ASTM B167 (tube), ASTM B168 (plate/sheet), AMS 5540 (sheet), AMS 5665 (bar)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Inconel 600 resistant to stress-corrosion cracking?
Yes. Inconel 600's high nickel content (~72%) makes it virtually immune to chloride-induced stress-corrosion cracking (SCC), a common failure mode in stainless steels. It also resists caustic cracking in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) environments.
What is the maximum operating temperature for Inconel 600?
Inconel 600 can be used continuously up to 1175°C (2150°F) in oxidizing atmospheres. For cyclic oxidation service (repeated heating and cooling), the practical limit is slightly lower to prevent scale spalling.
How does Inconel 600 compare to Inconel 601 at high temperature?
Inconel 601 has added aluminum (~1.4%), which forms a more stable, adherent alumina (Al₂O₃) scale, giving it significantly better oxidation resistance above 980°C. For applications near or above 1000°C, Inconel 601 is generally preferred.
Does Shanghai Hangbo provide welding consumables for Inconel 600?
Yes. We recommend and can supply matching filler metals such as Inconel Filler Metal 82 (ERNiCr-3) or Inconel Filler Metal 182 (ENiCrFe-3) for GTAW and SMAW welding of Inconel 600.
