What are Inconel Alloy 600 Fasteners

Inconel's Alloy 600 Fasteners achieve high-temperature strength through the solid solution or precipitation strengthening, depending on the alloy. In age-hardening or precipitation-strengthening variations, small amounts of niobium interact with nickel to form the intermetallic complex Ni3Nb or gamma double prime. This alloy was created to withstand temperatures ranging from cryogenic to extremes of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.

The alloy's high nickel content provides significant resistance to reducing conditions while also making it corrosion resistant to a wide range of inorganic and organic chemicals. It has a high chloride-ion-SCC and is resistant to alkaline solutions due to the nickel component. 

ASTM B166 Inconel 600 Fasteners is a non-magnetic nickel alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. Because it resists heat and oxidation well, this is the most common engineering material. Inconel 600 fasteners have higher mechanical quality, with yield and tensile strengths of 340 and 655 MPa, respectively.


Application for Inconel Alloy 600 Fasteners

Because of its properties, it is widely used in industries such as chemical processing, paper, and pulp manufacturing, heat treating, aerospace, nuclear engineering, and food processing.

Its exceptional ability to withstand extreme temperatures makes it ideal for use in jet engines. During the combustion process, the air inside the engine reaches a temperature of 2120 degrees Fahrenheit.


Benefits for Inconel Alloy 600 Fasteners


It can withstand temperatures of up to 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit and has a tensile strength of 100,000 psi when annealed and 125,000 psi when hard rolled, which is nearly twice that of Inconel 600 Fasteners. Similar to other corrosion-resistant steels, it has good salt water resistance, welds well in both annealed and aged states, and is easy to work with.
