From our DLX forges, Inconel 601 (UNS N06601) packs 58-63% nickel as the heat-resistant base, 21-25% chromium for a robust chromia layer that slams oxidation, and 1-1.7% aluminum boosting scale resistance in high-heat atmospheres.<grok:render type="render_inline_citation">0</grok:render> Iron balances at 8-15%, manganese ≤1%, silicon ≤0.5%, carbon ≤0.10%, sulfur ≤0.015%, and copper ≤1% keep it clean and ductile, avoiding carbide or embrittlement issues. Density’s 8.11 g/cm³ – light enough for aero but tough for structural gigs.
Performance is where it shines. Annealed, room-temp yield hits 240-310 MPa, tensile 550-690 MPa, with 30-40% elongation for easy forging or machining into bars.<grok:render type="render_inline_citation">1</grok:render> At 1000°C, it holds 100-150 MPa tensile, with creep under 1% in 1000 hours at 70 MPa stress – oxidation resistance excels to 1204°C, forming adherent Cr2O3-Al2O3 scales that don’t spall.<grok:render type="render_inline_citation">2</grok:render> Thermal conductivity ~11.2 W/m·K at RT, expansion 13.75 x 10^-6 /°C – tuned to handle thermal cycles without cracking. Corrosion? Strong in carburizing, nitriding, and sulfidizing environments; resists chloride stress cracking. Welds smoothly via GTAW/SMAW (no preheat, low cracking), machines at 20-30 m/min with HSS tools. We produce 5-100mm dia bars at DLX, vacuum-melting for <10 ppm impurities to meet ASTM B166 – recyclable to 94%, syncing with our eco-friendly melts that cut emissions.
In short, Inconel 601’s Ni-Cr-Al formula delivers unmatched oxidation resistance with fab-friendly traits – DLX refines it for your extreme needs.

Inconel 601 bars are built for brutal conditions. Furnace fixtures? Our breadwinner – forged into muffles, retorts, and radiant tubes for industrial kilns, enduring 1100°C oxidizing atmospheres without scaling, ideal for steel annealing or ceramic firing.<grok:render type="render_inline_citation">3</grok:render> We’ve supplied rods for heat-treat baskets in auto parts plants, cutting replacements 35% thanks to Al-enhanced scaling resistance. Aerospace? Killer for exhaust liners and combustor cans in jet engines, handling 1000°C fuel gases without pitting.
Chemical processing uses it for pyrolytic reactor components, resisting carburization in ethylene cracking. Power generation leans on it for superheater tubes in boilers, thriving in 900°C steam. At DLX, we customize: smaller bars for precision bolts, larger for structural forgings – annealed for formability. It slashes maintenance 20-30% vs. basic alloys while withstanding thermal shocks, boosting uptime in glass production, petrochemicals, and aero MRO. When heat and corrosion team up, Inconel 601 bars from DLX hold the line.
