Inconel 600 is a nickel-based metal alloy that is known for its resistance to heat and corrosion. In addition to nickel, it also has relatively high amounts of iron, cobalt and chromium.

Inconel 600 is an extremely corrosion resistant material. The high amounts of nickel in Inconel 600 give it the ability to resist corrosion, and in particular, chloride stress corrosion. So it’s a popular material choice for applications in the chemical industry.Inconel 600 is also able to resist heat exceptionally well. This makes it very popular in heat exchange and heat treatment applications, making it a popular choice in engine components, particularly those in the aerospace industry. It can withstand the temperatures found in cryogenic applications up to 2,000°F (1,093°C).
