ASTM B166 Inconel 600 Wire is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy known for its outstanding resistance to oxidation, carburization, and chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking. It performs exceptionally well in both high-temperature and cryogenic environments, making it a preferred material in industries such as chemical processing, thermal treatment, and power generation. At DLX Alloy, we specialize in producing precision-drawn Inconel 600 wires that meet ASTM B166 specifications and are tailored for demanding environments like furnaces, heaters, and heat exchangers.
This alloy maintains structural stability and toughness across a broad temperature range. Its balanced composition—approximately 72% nickel, 14–17% chromium, and 6–10% iron—gives it a unique combination of high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance, even in acidic and alkaline environments.
