6.3.2 INCONEL 600<br />
6.3.2.0 Comments and Properties — <strong>Inconel</strong> 600 is a corrosion- and heat-resistant nickel-base<br />
alloy used for low-stressed parts operating up to 2000EF. It is not hardenable except by cold working and<br />
is usually used in the annealed condition. <strong>Inconel</strong> 600 is available in all the usual mill forms.<br />
<strong>Inconel</strong> 600 is readily forged between 1900EF and 2250EF; “hot-cold” working between 1200EF and<br />
1600EF is harmful and should be avoided; cold working below 1200EF results in improved properties. This<br />
alloy is readily formed but should be annealed after severe forming operations. The maximum annealing<br />
temperature is 1800EF if minimum yield-strength requirements are to be met consistently. <strong>Inconel</strong> 600 is susceptible<br />
to rapid grain growth at 1800EF or higher, and exposures at these temperatures should be brief if<br />
large grain size is objectionable.<br />
<strong>Inconel</strong> 600 is somewhat difficult to machine because of its toughness and capacity for work<br />
hardening; high-speed steel or cemented-carbide tools should be used, and tools should be kept sharp. This<br />
alloy can be resistance or fusion welded or brazed (using nonsilver containing brazing alloy); large or<br />
complex fusion weldments should be stress relieved at 1600EF for 1 hour. Oxidation resistance of <strong>Inconel</strong><br />
600 is excellent up to 2000EF in sulfur-free atmospheres. This alloy is subject to attack in sulfur-containing<br />
atmospheres.<br />
