What Inconel 600 is, and when to specify it
Inconel 600 is the oldest and simplest of the nickel-chromium alloys still in wide industrial use. Its chemistry is deliberately plain: nickel with enough chromium to form a protective oxide and enough iron to keep the cost down. There is no molybdenum, no niobium, no aluminium or titanium hardening system.
The simplicity is the point. The high nickel content gives resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking, the failure mode that limits 304 and 316 stainless steel in hot chloride service. The chromium gives resistance to oxidation and to attack by caustic and by many organic and inorganic compounds. Because nothing precipitates on heating, the alloy stays ductile and dimensionally stable through repeated thermal cycles, which is why it dominates heat-treatment furnace hardware, retorts and muffles.
Specify Inconel 600 when the duty involves heat plus chlorides, caustic, high-purity water or dry halogens. Specify something else when the duty involves sulfur at temperature (nickel forms a low-melting nickel-sulfide eutectic near 645 °C), strongly oxidising acids such as nitric, or when the design needs the room-temperature strength of a precipitation-hardened alloy such as Inconel 718. Where the requirement is high-temperature strength under sustained load rather than corrosion resistance, Alloy 800H/800HT or Inconel 617 are usually the more economical answer.
Alloy 600 is not hardenable by heat treatment. Any drawing calling for a "solution and age" cycle on N06600 is in error. The correct instruction is solution annealing followed by rapid cooling. See the heat treatment section for the correct windows.
Temperature map for Inconel 600
Almost every decision about Alloy 600 reduces to a temperature: how to forge it, how to anneal it, where it may be used. This map places the processing windows and the service limits on one scale.
Chemical composition of Inconel 600 (UNS N06600)
Composition limits are per ASTM B564 / ASME SB-564 for UNS N06600, in weight percent. The three highlighted rows are the elements that define the grade; everything else is a residual limit.
| Element | Min % | Max % | Role in the alloy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nickel + Cobalt (Ni+Co) | 72.0 | balance | Base element. Provides resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking and to caustic |
| Chromium (Cr) | 14.0 | 17.0 | Forms the protective Cr₂O₃ scale against oxidation and many corrodents |
| Iron (Fe) | 6.00 | 10.00 | Controlled addition that lowers cost without harming corrosion behaviour |
| Carbon (C) | — | 0.15 | Residual. Higher carbon within the range favours creep strength, lower favours corrosion |
| Manganese (Mn) | — | 1.00 | Deoxidiser; combines with sulfur |
| Silicon (Si) | — | 0.50 | Deoxidiser; assists oxidation resistance |
| Copper (Cu) | — | 0.50 | Residual limit |
| Sulfur (S) | — | 0.015 | Held low for hot workability; sulfur embrittles nickel alloys |
Alloy 600 contains no molybdenum and no niobium, which is what separates it from Inconel 625, and no aluminium-titanium hardening system, which is what separates it from Inconel X-750 and 718. Where creep-rupture strength above 650 °C governs, order the controlled-carbon, coarse-grain variant (often written Alloy 600H) and state the requirement on the purchase order. Standard N06600 carries no grain-size requirement.
Mechanical properties of Inconel 600 forgings
Specified minimums, annealed, per ASTM B564 / ASME SB-564
These are the values a mill test certificate must meet. They are minimums, not typical values, and they are what a purchase order should reference.
| Property | Metric | Imperial |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile strength, min | 550 MPa | 80 ksi |
| Yield strength, 0.2 % offset, min | 240 MPa | 35 ksi |
| Elongation in 50 mm (2 in) or 4D, min | 30 % | 30 % |
Typical as-delivered values
Solution-annealed Alloy 600 forgings normally test comfortably above the specified minimums. The values below are representative of our production and vary with section size, reduction ratio and cooling rate.
| Property | Typical (metric) | Typical (imperial) |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 585–690 MPa | 85–100 ksi |
| Yield strength, 0.2 % offset | 250–345 MPa | 36–50 ksi |
| Elongation | 35–50 % | 35–50 % |
| Reduction of area | 55–70 % | 55–70 % |
| Hardness | 120–170 HB | 65–85 HRB |
| Impact toughness, Charpy V, 20 °C | ≥ 100 J typical | ≥ 74 ft·lb typical |
Alloy 600 keeps its toughness at cryogenic temperature. It does not undergo a ductile-to-brittle transition and is used down to −196 °C (−320 °F). Above roughly 650 °C, design must be based on creep and stress-rupture data rather than on short-term tensile values. Typical values are for design screening only; the mill test certificate issued with each forging governs acceptance.
Physical properties of Inconel 600
| Property | Metric | Imperial |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 8.47 g/cm³ | 0.306 lb/in³ |
| Melting range | 1354–1413 °C | 2470–2575 °F |
| Modulus of elasticity | 207 GPa | 30 × 10⁶ psi |
| Specific heat | 444 J/kg·K | 0.106 Btu/lb·°F |
| Thermal conductivity, 20 °C | 14.9 W/m·K | 103 Btu·in/ft²·h·°F |
| Mean thermal expansion, 20–100 °C | 13.3 µm/m·K | 7.4 × 10⁻⁶ in/in·°F |
| Electrical resistivity | 1.03 µΩ·m | 620 Ω·circ mil/ft |
| Curie temperature | −124 °C | −192 °F |
| Magnetic permeability, 200 Oe | ≈ 1.010 | essentially non-magnetic |
Because the Curie temperature sits at −124 °C, Inconel 600 is non-magnetic at ambient and at all normal service temperatures. Its thermal conductivity is roughly a quarter that of carbon steel, which matters both for heat-exchanger design and for machining, where heat concentrates at the cutting edge instead of leaving with the chip.

For pressure-retaining design, UNS N06600 carries maximum allowable stress values in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII Division 1, where 649 °C (1200 °F) is the usual practical ceiling for the grade; nuclear service is addressed in Section III. Always verify the temperature limit and allowable stress against the code edition your design is registered to.
Inconel 600 vs 601, 625, 690 and Alloy 800H
These five grades are routinely confused on drawings. They are not interchangeable: each solves a different problem.
| Grade | UNS | Nominal chemistry | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inconel 600 | N06600 | 72 Ni · 15 Cr · 8 Fe | Heat plus chlorides, caustic, high-purity water or dry chlorine. General-purpose furnace and process hardware to 1093 °C |
| Inconel 601 | N06601 | 60 Ni · 23 Cr · 14 Fe · 1.4 Al | Oxidation and scaling resistance is the governing property. The aluminium addition holds the scale on past 1100 °C |
| Inconel 625 | N06625 | 61 Ni · 21 Cr · 9 Mo · 3.6 Nb | Seawater, pitting, crevice corrosion, reducing acids, or where much higher strength is needed without heat treatment |
| Inconel 690 | N06690 | 60 Ni · 30 Cr · 9 Fe | Stress-corrosion cracking in high-temperature water or caustic is the risk. The 30 % chromium is the reason it replaced 600 in nuclear steam generators |
| Alloy 800H / 800HT | N08810 / N08811 | 32 Ni · 21 Cr · balance Fe | Sustained load above 593 °C where creep-rupture strength governs and the iron base makes it cheaper per kilogram |
Rule of thumb: stay with Alloy 600 for oxidising and chloride-bearing heat service; move to 601 for pure high-temperature oxidation; move to 625 for aqueous and acid corrosion with strength; move to 690 where stress-corrosion cracking has to be designed out; move to 800H/800HT where creep governs and cost matters. We forge Inconel 601, Inconel 625, Inconel 690 and Alloy 800HT to the same standards.
Corrosion and high-temperature behaviour
Corrosion behaviour depends on concentration, temperature, aeration, velocity and contaminants. Use the table as a screening guide and confirm against test data or plant experience for the specific process stream.
Inconel 600 forgings we produce
Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. is an open-die forging factory. Every item below is forged to the customer's drawing or dimensional sketch. There is no fixed catalogue, no tooling charge for open-die work and no piece minimum.
Size and weight capability
| Product form | Dimensional range | Unit weight |
|---|---|---|
| Seamless rolled rings | OD 200–3,000 mm, height to 800 mm | 20–8,000 kg |
| Round bars | Ø 80–800 mm, length to 6,000 mm | 20–6,000 kg |
| Discs and tube sheets | Ø 200–2,500 mm, thickness to 600 mm | 30–10,000 kg |
| Shafts, sleeves and blocks | to 6,000 mm long | to 10,000 kg |
Machining allowance is normally 6–20 mm per surface depending on section size, unless your drawing states otherwise. We also supply finish-machined parts to print. Plant equipment includes 1 t, 3 t, 5 t and 9 t open-die forging hammers, a 5,000-tonne hydraulic press and 3 m and 6 m seamless ring-rolling mills.
How we make Inconel 600 forgings
- Melting. Alloy 600 stock is melted by EAF + AOD/VOD, with ESR or VIM + ESR remelting where the customer's specification or the service calls for improved cleanliness and reduced segregation.
- Billet verification. Heat chemistry is confirmed by spectrometer against the ASTM B564 limits for N06600 (nickel minimum, chromium and iron windows, sulfur ceiling) before any material is heated.
- Open-die forging. Forged on hydraulic presses and hammers between 870 °C and 1230 °C with a controlled reduction ratio, closing porosity and developing a wrought grain flow that follows the part contour. Rings are ring-rolled seamless.
- Solution annealing. Held in the 925–1010 °C window, then rapidly cooled. Alloy 600 is a solid-solution alloy and is never age-hardened. A higher anneal is used where a coarse grain is required for creep service.
- Rough or finish machining. Turned, bored, drilled and faced to your drawing, with agreed machining allowance or to final dimensions.
- Non-destructive testing. Ultrasonic examination to EN 10228-3, SEP 1921, ASTM A388 or your nominated class, plus liquid penetrant and dimensional inspection as required.
- Certification and despatch. EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate as standard; 3.2 with third-party witness (TÜV, BV, LR, SGS, DNV) on request. Hard stamped, preserved and packed for sea or air freight.
Forging, heat treatment, machining and welding
Forging and hot working
Heat to a maximum of 1230 °C (2250 °F). Take heavy reductions between 1040 °C and 1230 °C, then finish with lighter reductions between 870 °C and 1040 °C to refine the grain. Do not continue working below 870 °C (1600 °F): the alloy work-hardens quickly and the risk of splitting rises sharply. Uniform reduction matters. Lightly worked regions retain coarse grain that shows up later as ultrasonic noise and scattered mechanical results.
Heat treatment
| Treatment | Temperature | Purpose and cooling |
|---|---|---|
| Solution anneal (standard) | 925–1010 °C / 1700–1850 °F | Recrystallises and softens for corrosion service. Rapid cool or water quench. |
| High-temperature anneal | 1040–1120 °C / 1900–2050 °F | Coarsens grain for creep and stress-rupture service. Rapid cool. Specify on the order. |
| Stress equalising | ≈ 870 °C / 1600 °F, 1 h | Relieves residual stress from machining or cold work without full recrystallisation. |
| Ageing / precipitation hardening | Not applicable | Alloy 600 cannot be age-hardened. A drawing calling for solution-and-age on N06600 needs correction before manufacture. |
Clean parts before any heat treatment. Sulfur from cutting oils, grease, paint or marking crayons will embrittle the alloy at temperature; a degrease and, if needed, a light pickle is standard practice before annealing.
Machining
Alloy 600 work-hardens rapidly and conducts heat poorly, so the failure mode is a glazed, hardened surface layer that destroys the next pass. Rigid setups, sharp positive-rake tooling, low speed with heavy feed, and a depth of cut that always reaches below the previously hardened layer are what make it cut. Never dwell or rub. Flood coolant is essential, and any sulfurised or chlorinated cutting oil must be removed completely if the part will later see high temperature.
| Operation | Cutting speed | Feed | Depth of cut |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rough turning, carbide | 25–40 m/min (80–130 sfm) | 0.25–0.40 mm/rev | 2.5–6 mm |
| Finish turning, carbide | 35–55 m/min (115–180 sfm) | 0.10–0.20 mm/rev | 0.5–1.5 mm |
| Turning, HSS | 10–18 m/min (33–60 sfm) | 0.15–0.30 mm/rev | 1–4 mm |
Values are a starting point for annealed material and should be tuned to your machine rigidity, tool grade and coolant. They are not a specification.
Welding
Alloy 600 is readily welded by GTAW, GMAW, SMAW and plasma arc. The usual consumables are ERNiCr-3 filler (AWS A5.14) and ENiCrFe-3 covered electrode (AWS A5.11). For nuclear and high-temperature-water duty, ERNiCrFe-7A and ENiCrFe-7 are specified instead, because their higher chromium resists stress-corrosion cracking in the weld region. Post-weld heat treatment is not normally required for the alloy itself, though the design code or the corrosion duty may call for a stress-relief. Keep the joint area free of sulfur, lead, phosphorus and zinc, and use a low heat input with a stringer-bead technique.
Where Inconel 600 forgings are used
| Industry | Components forged in Inconel 600 |
|---|---|
| Heat treatment & industrial furnaces | Retort and muffle end rings, radiant tube components, basket and fixture hardware, roller ends, forged flanges for furnace penetrations |
| Chemical & petrochemical | Caustic evaporator forgings, reactor nozzles, forged tube sheets and shell flanges, vinyl chloride monomer plant components, catalyst grid supports |
| Titanium dioxide & chlorination | Chlorinator internals, forged valve bodies and seat rings, dry-chlorine service piping components |
| Nuclear | Reactor internals, control rod components, heat-exchanger and steam-generator forgings, penetration nozzles |
| Aerospace & gas turbine | Exhaust liners, turbine seal rings, engine casing rings, jet-engine and airframe hardware, thermocouple sheath blanks |
| Pressure vessels & heat exchangers | Forged tube sheets, girth rings, blind covers, weld-neck and long weld-neck flanges, forged nozzle bodies |
| Valves & flow control | Ball, gate, globe, check and plug valve bodies, bonnets, stems, seat rings and blocks |
| Pulp, paper & food processing | Digester and bleach plant hardware, agitator and pump shafts, sleeves and bushings where metal pick-up is unacceptable |
| Cryogenic | Forged rings, flanges and shafts for service to −196 °C, where the alloy keeps full ductility |
| Electronics & semiconductor | Thermocouple protection tubes, tube supports, high-purity water system components |
Alloy 600 is chosen for these duties because it holds an adherent oxide through thermal cycling, resists chloride and caustic attack, and stays dimensionally stable, not because of high strength. Where strength governs, we forge Inconel 718 and Inconel X-750 to the same standards.

Frequently asked questions about Inconel 600
What is Inconel 600?
Inconel 600 is a solid-solution nickel-chromium-iron alloy designated UNS N06600 and W.Nr. 2.4816, containing a minimum of 72 % nickel, 14–17 % chromium and 6–10 % iron. It resists oxidation to about 1093 °C (2000 °F), is essentially immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking, and keeps full ductility down to −196 °C. It is not hardenable by heat treatment. Jiangyin Jiangnan Metal Co., Ltd. forges it into rings, flanges, bars, discs, shafts and tube sheets to ASTM B564.
What is the difference between Inconel 600 and Alloy 600?
There is no difference in the material. Inconel® is a registered trademark of Special Metals Corporation, so material produced by anyone other than the trademark holder is correctly called Alloy 600, Nickel Alloy 600 or simply UNS N06600. When ordering, specify UNS N06600 and ASTM B564 rather than a trade name. That makes the requirement unambiguous and independent of the supplier.
What is the maximum service temperature of Inconel 600?
For non-pressure parts such as furnace fixtures and retorts, the practical continuous limit set by oxidation is about 1093 °C (2000 °F). For pressure-retaining parts, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 1 allowable stress table for N06600 is normally applied to 649 °C (1200 °F). In sulfur-bearing atmospheres the usable temperature drops sharply, and the alloy should be avoided above roughly 315 °C (600 °F) where sulfur is present.
Which heat treatment is correct for Inconel 600 forgings?
Solution annealing between 925 °C and 1010 °C (1700–1850 °F), followed by rapid cooling. Alloy 600 is a solid-solution alloy and is not precipitation hardened, so no ageing treatment is applied. A drawing calling for a solution-and-age cycle on N06600 contains an error. Where creep or stress-rupture strength governs, a higher anneal at 1040–1120 °C is used to coarsen the grain, and this must be stated on the purchase order.
Is Inconel 600 magnetic?
No. Its Curie temperature is −124 °C (−192 °F), so at room temperature and at all normal service temperatures it is essentially non-magnetic, with a relative permeability of about 1.010 at 200 oersted. This makes it suitable for instrumentation and electronics hardware where magnetic response is unacceptable.
Inconel 600 or Inconel 625: which should I specify?
Choose Alloy 600 for high-temperature oxidising service, chloride-bearing heat duty, caustic and dry chlorine. Choose Alloy 625 when the environment is aqueous and aggressive (seawater, pitting and crevice attack, reducing acids), or when much higher strength is needed in the as-annealed condition, since the 9 % molybdenum and 3.6 % niobium in 625 provide both. Alloy 625 costs more per kilogram; Alloy 600 is the more economical answer where its corrosion envelope is sufficient.
Why was Inconel 600 replaced by Alloy 690 in nuclear steam generators?
Alloy 600 proved susceptible to primary-water stress-corrosion cracking in pressurised-water reactor service. Alloy 690 carries about 30 % chromium against 15 % in Alloy 600, which greatly improves resistance to cracking in high-temperature water and caustic, and it became the standard replacement for steam-generator tubing and reactor penetrations. Alloy 600 remains fully appropriate for the many industrial duties where that failure mode does not apply.
Can Inconel 600 be welded?
Yes. Alloy 600 welds readily by GTAW, GMAW, SMAW and plasma arc, normally with ERNiCr-3 filler metal or ENiCrFe-3 covered electrodes. For nuclear or high-temperature-water service, higher-chromium consumables such as ERNiCrFe-7A are specified instead. Post-weld heat treatment is not usually required for the alloy itself. Keep the joint free of sulfur, lead, phosphorus and zinc, and use low heat input with stringer beads.
Is Inconel 600 difficult to machine?
It is not impossible, but it is unforgiving. Alloy 600 work-hardens rapidly and conducts heat poorly, so a tool that rubs instead of cutting glazes the surface and the next pass fails. Successful practice uses rigid setups, sharp positive-rake tooling, low speed with heavy feed, a depth of cut that always reaches below the work-hardened layer, and flood coolant. If sulfurised or chlorinated cutting fluid is used, it must be removed completely before the part sees high temperature.
What sizes of Inconel 600 forgings can you supply?
We forge seamless rolled rings from 200 mm to 3,000 mm outside diameter, round bars from Ø 80 mm to Ø 800 mm, discs and tube sheets to Ø 2,500 mm, and shafts and sleeves to 6,000 mm long, with unit weights from about 20 kg to 10,000 kg. Open-die forging needs no dies, so one-off, prototype and small-batch quantities are economic. There is no tooling charge and no minimum order quantity by piece.
Do you supply a material certificate for Inconel 600?
Yes. Every Inconel 600 forging ships with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate showing heat number, chemical analysis, mechanical results, heat treatment record and NDT results. EN 10204 3.2 certification witnessed by a third party such as TÜV, BV, LR, SGS or DNV is available on request at the time of order.
How long does an Inconel 600 forging take to produce?
Lead time depends on whether the grade is in raw stock and on the size of the forging. Simple rings and discs from stock material typically run 25–40 days. Parts needing a new melt, ESR remelting, heavy machining or third-party witnessed inspection take longer. Send your drawing and we will confirm a firm date with the quotation.
