Inconel 601 Sheets and Plates
Inconel Alloy 601 nickel-chromium-iron alloy is an engineering material for applications that require resistance to heat and corrosion. The major characteristic of Inconel 601 sheet and Inconel 601 plate is its resistance to high-temperature oxidation. The alloy also has good resistance to aqueous corrosion, has high mechanical strength, and is readily formed, machined, and welded.

Inconel 601 sheet and plate is not embrittled by extended exposure to high temperatures During high-temperature exposure, alloy 601 forms an extremely protective and adherent oxide film on the surface of the material. In addition, a slight amount of internal oxidation occurs and provides higher chromium content in the surface oxide.
