From our DLX forges, Inconel 600 (UNS N06600, ASTM B166) is a nickel-heavy alloy with 72-78% Ni anchoring high-temp stability, 14-17% Cr forming a tight chromia layer to fend off oxidation, and 6-10% Fe for cost-effective toughness without losing edge.<grok:render type="render_inline_citation">1</grok:render> Manganese ≤1%, silicon ≤0.5%, carbon ≤0.15%, sulfur ≤0.015%, and copper ≤0.5% keep it clean and ductile, dodging carbide or embrittlement issues. Density? A solid 8.47 g/cm³, balancing strength and weight for structural gigs.

Mechanically, it's a workhorse. Annealed, room-temp yield hits 240-310 MPa, tensile 550-690 MPa, elongation 30-50% for easy machining or forming into bars, rods, or forgings. At 800°C, it holds 150-200 MPa tensile with creep under 1% in 1000 hours at 80 MPa stress – oxidation shrugs off 1000°C continuous, 1095°C short-term, with scales that stick tight.<grok:render type="render_inline_citation">2</grok:render> Thermal conductivity ~15 W/m·K at RT, expansion 13.3 x 10^-6 /°C – tuned to handle thermal cycles without cracking. Corrosion? Elite in acids, alkalies, and dry gases; excels against chloride stress cracking in seawater or brines. Welds smoothly via GTAW/SMAW (no preheat, low cracking), machines at 25-35 m/min with HSS tools. We produce bars from 5mm to 100mm dia at DLX, vacuum-melting for <10 ppm impurities to meet ASTM B166 – recyclable to 95%, aligning with our eco-friendly melts that cut emissions.
In short, Inconel 600 balances heat and corrosion defense with fab ease – DLX hones it for your toughest challenges.
