Our Inconel 600 plates are the go-to choice for heat exchanger applications where extreme conditions demand top-notch performance. Made from a nickel-chromium alloy, these plates are built to withstand scorching temperatures up to 2000°F (1093°C) without losing their strength or integrity. The high nickel content ensures unbeatable resistance to corrosion, especially in harsh environments like chloride-heavy or reducing conditions. Meanwhile, the chromium in the mix forms a thick, protective oxide layer when heated, shielding the material from oxidation and scaling. Whether you’re dealing with rapid temperature swings or aggressive chemicals, our Inconel 600 plates deliver reliability you can count on. Available in thicknesses from 3/16″ to 2″, we customize sizes and shapes to fit your project’s exact needs.
Industry Analysis

Our Inconel 600 plates shine in a variety of high-stakes settings. In chemical processing, they’re used in equipment like chlorination systems, vinyl chloride production, and fatty acid processing, where corrosion resistance is non-negotiable. Aerospace relies on them for jet engine components and exhaust systems that face intense heat and rapid temperature changes. In nuclear engineering, they’re a trusted choice for reactor vessels and steam generator components, thanks to their ability to resist high-purity water corrosion. Food processing and heat-treating industries also turn to Inconel 600 for its strength and resistance to oxidation in furnaces, muffles, and retorts. Whatever the application, these plates deliver consistent performance under pressure.
