Inconel 600/601 seamless pipe is commonly used in high-temperature applications and is made up of nickel, chromium, and iron with various other elements added in smaller quantities to enhance specific properties.

ASTM B167/B516: specification for nickel-chromium-iron alloys (UNS N06600, N06601, N06690, N06025, and N06045) seamless pipes and tubes

Inconel 600/601 seamless pipe Chemical composition:

- Nickel (Ni): 72%-76%

- Chromium (Cr): 14%-17%

- Iron (Fe): 6%-10%

- Carbon (C): 0.15% max

- Manganese (Mn): 1% max

- Silicon (Si): 0.5% max

Inconel 600/601 seamless pipe manufacturing Process:

- The seamless pipe manufacturing process involves piercing a solid metal billet with a mandrel to create a hollow shell

- The shell is then elongated and rolled to the desired diameter and wall thickness

- The Inconel 600/601 seamless pipe is then annealed or heat-treated to enhance its mechanical properties

Inconel 600/601 seamless pipe Properties:

- High-temperature strength and corrosion resistance

- Good mechanical properties at both high and low temperatures

- Excellent resistance to oxidation, carburization, and nitridation

- Outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and intergranular attack

- Good weldability and formability

Inconel 600/601 seamless pipe Applications:

- Chemical processing and petrochemical industries, particularly in high-temperature and corrosive environments

- Aerospace and heat exchangers

- Nuclear power plants

- Electrical components and thermocouples

- Food processing and pharmaceutical industries
