• Performs exceptionally in both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres‌35.

‌Excellent Fabricability‌:

• Easily welded via TIG, MIG, or resistance welding methods; post-weld annealing (870°C/1h) eliminates stress‌36.
• Suitable for cold/hot working, forging, and machining into complex shapes‌13.

‌Production Methods‌

Inconel 600 round bars are manufactured through precision processes‌36:

1. ‌Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM)‌:

• High-purity raw materials are melted under controlled conditions to minimize impurities.
  2. ‌Hot Rolling & Forging‌:
• Ingots are hot-rolled or forged into billets to refine grain structure and enhance mechanical properties.
  3. ‌Cold Drawing/Finishing‌:
• Cold-drawn to achieve tight dimensional tolerances and smooth surface finishes.
  4. ‌Solution Annealing‌:
• Heated to ‌1,050–1,100°C‌ and rapidly cooled to optimize corrosion resistance and ductility.

‌Equivalent Grades & Standards‌

• ‌UNS N06600‌
• ‌ASTM B168, AMS 5540, DIN 2.4816‌
• ‌GH600 (China), NC15Fe (France), NiCr15Fe (ISO)‌‌23

‌Key Application Fields‌
