Design Features – Alloy 600
- High nickel content offers excellent resistance to corrosion by many organic and inorganic compounds.
- Virtually immune to chlorideon stress corrosion cracking.
- Chromium confers resistance to sulfur compounds and provides resistance to oxidizing conditions at high temperatures or in corrosive solutions.
- Alloy 600 is not precipitative hardenable, it is hardened and strengthened only by cold work.
- Good for a variety of applications invovling temperatures from cryogenic to above 2000°F.
Typical Applications – Alloy 600
- Steam generators
