OEM ODM Nickel Alloy Forging Cylinders Inconel 600 Alloy 600
Inconel 600 and Inconel 601 are nickel-chromium alloys known for their excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperature. Both alloys are widely used in applications requiring high strength and durability in harsh environments. While they share some similarities, there are also differences in their composition and properties, making each suited to specific applications. Forging cylinders made from these materials are highly valued for their robustness and resistance to oxidation and corrosion, especially in extreme environments. Here's a detailed look at both Inconel 600 and Inconel 601 forging cylinders:
- Nickel (Ni): 72% minimum
- Chromium (Cr): 14% - 17%
- Iron (Fe): 6% - 10%
- Small amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, carbon, and sulfur.
- Density: About 8.47 g/cm³
- Melting Point: 1370°C - 1425°C (2500°F - 2600°F)
- Excellent Resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures.
- Good Strength at elevated temperatures.
- Chemical and food processing equipment
- Heat treating fixtures
- Gas turbine components
- Nuclear engineering
Forging cylinders using Inconel alloys improves the materials' strength and resilience due to the work-hardening and fine-grained structure imparted by the forging process. These cylinders are tailored for use in high-pressure, high-temperature environments where conventional materials would deteriorate rapidly.
Specifications and Standards
Inconel 600 adhere to various industry standards that specify their chemical composition, mechanical properties, and applicable forms. These can include, but are not limited to:
- ASTM B166: Standard Specification for Nickel-Chromium-Iron Alloys (UNS N06600) Rod, Bar, and Wire.
- AMS 5665 & 5687: For Inconel 600 respectively, covering bars, forgings, and rings.
The choice between Inconel 600 for forging cylinders largely depends on the specific environment and performance requirements of the application.
