Inconel 600, N06600, 2.4816, Nickel Alloy Strip
Inconel 600 is well suited for severe corrosive environments and is oxidation resistant through 2150°F. Such as, metal diaphragms for aerospace sensors, flexible metal foil heaters and metal diaphragms for burst discs.
The strength can be increased by cold working. The material has good elevated strength retention through 800°F.
The alloy is readily formed in the annealed temper, and can be joined by the standard welding, brazing and soldering processes.
Available Sizes:
Inconel 600 is available as strip product in thicknesses from 0.0005” to 0.050” (0.0127 mm to 1.27 mm) and width up to 12” (304.8 mm). It is also available in foil as thin as 0.000100” (0.00254 mm) in widths of 4.0” (101.6 mm) maximum. The material conforms to ASTM B168, AMS 5540, MIL N 23228 and UNS N06600.
