Inconel 600 (UNS N06600, ASTM B168), 601 (N06601), and 617 (N06617) Foil: Reliable High-Temperature Performance
Table of Contents:
In a Gulf Coast power plant, Inconel 600 furnace components oxidized prematurely at 1100°C, forcing an emergency outage and $1.5 million repair amid peak demand. This incident reveals the demand for optimized alloys like Inconel 600 (UNS N06600), 601 (N06601), and 617 (N06617) foils, delivering superior oxidation resistance in extreme heat.
Specifications & Standards
Inconel 600 foil meets ASTM B168 (sheet/strip), ASME SB168, DIN 2.4816 for oxidation up to 1150°C. Inconel 601 (UNS N06601, DIN 2.4851) follows ASTM B166/B168, excelling in carburizing atmospheres. Inconel 617 (N06617, DIN 2.4663) complies with AMS 5887 and ASTM B166 for aeroengine parts.
Testing includes ASTM E8 tensile, G28 corrosion, ensuring compliance for pharma and marine exports with EN 10204 3.1 certificates.
Product Forms & Availability
Foils range 0.01-0.5 mm thick, widths to 1000 mm, annealed per ASTM specs for stamping in OEM heat shields. 617 foil supports cryogenic to 980°C service.
