Inconel 600 Wire is a nonmagnetic, nickel-based high temperature alloy possessing an excellent combination of high strength, hot and cold workability, and resistance to ordinary form of corrosion.

This alloy also displays good heat resistance and freedom from aging or stress corrosion throughout the annealed to heavily cold worked condition range.

Characteristics Inconel 600 Wire:

1. Resistant to a wide range of corrosive media. The chromium content gives better resistance than Alloy 200 and 201 under oxidizing conditions, as well as gives good resistance to reducing conditions.

2. Virtually immune to chlorine ion stress corrosion cracking.

3. Demonstrates adequate resistance to organic acids such as acetic, formic and stearic.

4. Excellent resistance to high purity water used in primary and secondary circuits of pressurized nuclear reactors.

5. Little or no attack occurs at room and elevated temperatures in dry gases, such as chlorine or hydrogen chloride. At temperatures up to 550C in these media, this alloy has been shown to be one of the most resistant of the common alloys.

6. At elevated temperatures the annealed and solution annealed alloy shows good resistance to scaling and has high strength.

7. The alloy also resists ammonia bearing atmospheres, as well as nitrogen and carburizing gases.

Available specifications (AWG) of Inconel 600 Wire:

Wire Diameter: 0.05mm-10.0mm, 0.002 Inch to 0.3937 Inch

Applications of Inconel 600 Wire:

1. Thermocouple sheaths.

2. Ethylene dichloride (EDC) cracking tubes.

3. Conversion of uranium dioxide to tetra fluoride in contact with hydrofluoric acid.

4. Production of caustic alkalis particularly in the presence of sulfur compounds.

5. Reactor vessels and heat exchanger tubing used in the production of vinyl chloride.

6. Process equipment used in the production of chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons.

7. In nuclear reactors uses are for such components as control rod inlet stub tubes, reactor vessel components and seals, steam dryers and d separators in boiling water reactors. In pressurized water reactors it is used for control rod guide tubes and steam generator baffle plates etc.

8. Furnace retort seals, fans and fixtures.

9. Roller hearths and radiant tubes, in carbon nitriding processes especially.
