Nickel-Chromium Alloy


Alloy 601 Nickel Alloy

Alloy 601 is a nickel-chromium alloy used in high-temperature service.



Introduction

The alloy which also includes aluminium develops a tightly adherent oxide scale which resists spalling even under thermal cycling. Alloy 601 offers good hot corrosion resistance under oxidising conditions and combines good creep and rupture strength.



Key Features:

Alloy 601 nickel alloy is an excellent high-temperature material which includes high chromium content. The alloy has excellent resistance to high-temperature oxidation. With good ductility retention after long service exposure, the material also offers good creep and rupture strength.



Typical Applications

Commercial applications for this engineering material include:

  • Radiant tubes
  • Industrial furnace retorts
  • Annealing tubes
  • Rotary kilns
  • Infrared radiant screens
  • Flame shields
  • Thermal processing equipment
  • Jet engine igniters

We stock Alloy 601 in round bar, plate, sheet and round tube.
