Inconel 600 Nickel Alloy Bar (UNS N06600)

Inconel 600 (UNS N06600 / W.Nr. 2.4816) is a nickel-chromium alloy known for its excellent resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, and oxidation, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in extreme environments. Lork Group provides an extensive selection of specialty alloys, including Inconel, Incoloy, Monel, Hastelloy, NIMONIC, and more.

Inconel 600 alloy bar is a standard engineering material for applications that require resistance to corrosion and heat. The alloy also has excellent mechanical properties and presents the desirable combination of high strength and good workability. The versatility of UNS N06600 has led to its use in a variety of applications involving temperatures from cryogenic to above 2000°F (1095°C).

Traditional machining methods used for iron-based alloys can be used for Inconel 600. During high-speed operations such as turning, grinding, or milling, it is recommended that water-based coolants be used. The use of heavy lubricants while drilling, tapping, broaching, or boring is suitable. In cases where turning with a continuous cut is performed, carbide tools are suitable.

Can be formed using conventional methods as it has good ductility. Powerful equipment is required.

Inconel 600 is weldable using all the conventional methods. Some of the commonly used methods are gas-tungsten arc welding, shielded metal-arc welding, gas metal-arc welding and submerged-arc welding. It is recommended that matching alloy filler metal should be used. Before the welding process begins, the surface to be welded should be cleaned and should be free from oil, paint, or crayon stains.

Can be solution annealed at 1010°C (1850°F) for 15 minutes and air cooled.

Forging of Inconel 600 should be performed in the range of 1232-1038°C (2250-1900°F).

Can be hot worked in the range of 1232- 871°C (2250-1600°F). It has low ductility in the range of 649-871°C (1200-1600F); hence, working in that temperature range should be avoided.

Can be cold worked using conventional tooling. To minimize galling and provide a neat finish, soft die materials containing bronze and zinc alloys are recommended. However, the life of the die is short.
