Inconel 693 Tube Supplier, Stockist and Exporter
Table of Contents
Aurico Alloys LLP supplies inconel 693 tube (N06693) from ready stock in Mumbai, to customers across India and in more than 40 export markets.
Tube is specified by outside diameter and wall thickness rather than nominal bore, which makes it the form of choice for heat exchangers, instrumentation and any assembly where the fit into a tubesheet or fitting is what governs.
Inconel 693 is formulated against metal dusting, the failure mode that eats ordinary nickel alloys in carbon-rich syngas at 400-800°C.

Identifiers and physical constants for Inconel 693. A dash means no such designation is published for this grade.
Chemical Composition
Nickel balance with roughly 27-31% chromium and 2.5-4.0% aluminium, plus niobium. The aluminium addition is what suppresses metal dusting.
| Element | Min (%) | Max (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Nickel (Ni) | — | Balance (determined arithmetically by difference) |
| Chromium (Cr) | 27.0 | 31.0 |
| Iron (Fe) | 2.5 | 6.0 |
| Aluminium (Al) | 2.5 | 4.0 |
| Niobium (Nb) | 0.5 | 2.5 |
| Manganese (Mn) | — | 1.0 |
| Titanium (Ti) | — | 1.0 |
| Copper (Cu) | — | 0.5 |
| Silicon (Si) | — | 0.5 |
| Carbon (C) | — | 0.15 |
| Sulfur (S) | — | 0.01 |

Mechanical and Physical Properties
Combines the oxidation resistance of a high-chromium alloy with specific resistance to metal dusting - the catastrophic carburisation that destroys conventional alloys in syngas.
Industry Applications
Why this grade
Inconel 693 runs about 29% chromium with 3.1% aluminium, and has the best resistance to metal dusting of any conventional alloy in production. Metal dusting attacks steel in high-carbon atmospheres between 450 and 800°C, breaking the surface down into powder; if that is the failure mode in your reformer or cracker, 693 is the grade the problem calls for.
| Industry | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Petrochemical | Syngas coolers, reformer outlets and methanol plant. |
| Chemical processing | Direct-reduction iron plant and carburising atmospheres. |
| Power generation | Coal and biomass gasification equipment. |
| Heat treatment | Carbon-rich furnace atmospheres. |
| Oil and gas | Gas-processing hardware exposed to carbon activity above unity. |
Testing and Certification
Every consignment ships with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate stating heat number, chemical analysis and mechanical properties. Depending on the specification we can add positive material identification, ultrasonic and dye-penetrant testing, intergranular corrosion testing to ASTM G28 or A262, hydrostatic testing, and third-party inspection release from Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, SGS or TUV.
Aurico Alloys LLP operates an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, and can certify material to NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 for sour service where the grade permits.
