Inconel 600 Plate vs Inconel 625 Plate

Inconel 600 plate offers cost-effective oxidation resistance up to 2000°F. Inconel 625 plate delivers greater strength and significantly better pitting resistance from its molybdenum content. Use Inconel 600 for primarily oxidising conditions; choose Inconel 625 for chloride pitting, crevice corrosion, or heavier mechanical loads.

Inconel 600 Plate Corrosion Resistance

Inconel 600 plate resists a wide range of corrosive media. The high nickel content (72.0% min) makes it virtually immune to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking, while the chromium content (14.0 to 17.0%) provides resistance to sulfur compounds and oxidising environments.

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance

Alloy 600 plate forms a stable chromium oxide layer that resists scaling up to 2000°F (1093°C). In furnace atmospheres containing sulfur, this plate outperforms stainless steels that lose their protective oxide above 1200°F (649°C). Carburising and nitriding atmospheres do not significantly attack Inconel 600 plate.

Resistance to Caustic and Alkaline Environments

Inconel 600 plate handles caustic soda (NaOH) solutions at concentrations up to 50% and temperatures up to boiling. The nickel base resists stress corrosion cracking in alkaline media where austenitic stainless steels would fail.
