ASTM B167 Inconel 601 N06601 Nickel Alloy Seamless Pipe Cold Worked

What is Inconel 601?

Inconel 601 is a nickel-chromium alloy used for applications that require resistance to corrosion and heat. This nickel alloy stands out due to its resistance to high temperature oxidation, remaining highly resistant to oxidation through 2200° F. Alloy 601 develops a tightly adherent oxide scale which resists spalling even under conditions of severe thermal cycling.

This nickel alloy has good high temperature strength, and retains its ductility after long service exposure. It has good resistance to aqueous corrosion, high mechanical strength, and is readily formed, machined and welded.

Inconel 601’s properties make it a material of broad utility in fields like thermal processing, chemical processing, pollution control, aerospace, and power generation. However, alloy 601 is not suggested for use in strongly reducing, sulfur bearing environments.

Processability of Inconel 601 (Alloy 601/UNS N06601)

Inconel 601 (UNS N06601) nickel base alloy is easy to hot work. The heating temperature is 1150 ~ 1200 ℃, and the hot working temperature is 1050 ~ 1200 ℃. The simple processing can be carried out below 850 ℃. Cracking will occur in the temperature range of 650 ~ 850 ℃, please avoid this temperature range for processing.

In order to avoid carbide precipitation, it is suggested to increase the cooling rate in the range of 500 ~ 800 ℃. 601 alloy has excellent cold workability and can be processed as SUS 310S and alloy800.
