MB-Metal - Model 601 -Nickel-Chromium-Iron Alloy

Inconel 601 provides exceptional protection against high-temperature oxidation, making it ideal for applications that require constant exposure to elevated temperatures or hot environments such as jet engines, gas turbines and industrial furnaces. Inconel 601 can also withstand the corrosive actions of many acids and alkalies in resistance to oxidation and reducing environments. It is resistant to stress-corrosion cracking in chloride ion media found in typical marine environments as well as pitting corrosion caused by halide solutions like hydrochloric acid or brine solutions containing sulfates or chlorides.

Inconel 601 also has impressive mechanical properties such as good ductility at room temperature up to 1800°F (980°C). This makes it especially suited for fabrication processes such as cold working or forming operations that rely on its flexibility over a wide range of temperatures. Its low work hardening rate also allows it to be machined more efficiently when compared to other inconel alloys commonly used in high-temperature applications like stainless steel alloys. Moreover, thanks to its relatively low cost compared to other high-temperature alloys such as Hastelloy C276 or Incoloy 800H, Inconel 601 makes an economical choice for many engineering projects that require corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures.
