Inconel Plate Price
In India, Inconel plates typically cost between ₹1,100 and ₹2,750 per kg, depending on the grade, thickness, and order quantity. In international markets, prices are usually between US $15 and $45 per kg on an FOB basis, with higher prices for premium grades.
Grade 625 is generally the costliest because it contains molybdenum, niobium, and titanium. Grade 600 is usually the most economical option. Prices are influenced by the required standard, plate size, surface finish, heat treatment and nickel surcharges, and large orders often get better rates.
Applicable Standards and Grade
The table below shows which ASTM, ASME, and AMS specifications apply to each grade. Each Inconel plate grade follows certain international standards.
| Grade | ASTM | ASME | AMS |
|---|---|---|---|
| 600 | B168 | SB-168 | 5540 |
| 625 | B443 | SB-443 | 5599 |
Inconel Plate Grades
Inconel plate is available in 2 primary grades. 600 and 625. Different materials are used, depending on the specific temperature ranges, the type of corrosion and required strength.
Inconel 600 Plate
Inconel 600 plate (ASTM B168 / ASME SB-168) contains 72% nickel and operates from cryogenic temperatures to 1093°C (2000°F). It suits furnace components, chemical processing and nuclear applications.
Inconel 625 Plate
Inconel 625 plate (ASTM B443 / ASME SB-443) contains 8 to 10% molybdenum and 3.2 to 3.8% niobium. It resists chloride pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. The grade is NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliant for sour service in marine and chemical applications.

Industrial Applications of Inconel Plate
Inconel plate applications span 5 major industries where high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance are critical.
Aerospace & Defence
Inconel 625 plates serve jet engine casings, gas turbine shrouds and rocket motor housings where temperatures exceed 600°C.
Chemical Processing
Grade 625 and 600 plates are used in reactor vessels and heat exchangers that handle hydrochloric and sulphuric acid on a continuous basis.
Oil & Gas
Inconel 625 plate meets NACE MR0175 requirements and is used in subsea equipment, flare stacks, and wellhead components exposed to sour gas environments.
Marine Engineering
Alloy 625 plate handles seawater corrosion, pitting, and crevice attack. Commonly used in offshore platform structures and seawater cooling systems.
Power Generation
Grade 600 is used in nuclear steam generators and furnace linings where consistent performance at high temperatures is required over long service periods.
Inconel Plate vs Stainless Steel Plate
The table below compares Inconel 625 and SS 316L across key performance properties to aid material selection.
Inconel plate is the right selection for service above 600°C or in chloride-rich environments. A Stainless Steel Plate remains suitable for moderate conditions at a lower cost.
| Property | Inconel 625 Plate | SS 316L Plate |
|---|---|---|
| Max Service Temp | 982°C (1800°F) | 870°C (1600°F) |
| Tensile Strength | 827 to 1034 MPa | 485 to 620 MPa |
| Chloride SCC Resistance | Immune | Susceptible |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
Note: Inconel 625 and SS 316L are the most commonly used grades in their respective alloy families, so they are the most practical and relevant options for engineers making real-world material choices.
