Nickel Alloy 600 in Sheet, Plate, Bar
SPECIFICATIONS: Alloy 600 | UNS N06600| ASTM/ASME B168 / B166 | Werkstoff 2.4816
Castle Metals can supply alloy 600 from stock in sheet, plate, and bar forms. We also have the capabilities to provide cutting processes and distribute across the world.
Properties
Alloy 600 (UNS N06600) is a Ni-Cr-Fe alloy.
This alloy is characterised by:
- Good resistance to oxidation, carburisation and nitriding
- Good resistance to stress corrosion cracking, at both room and elevated temperatures
- Good resistance to dry chlorine and hydrogen chloride
- Good mechanical properties at sub-zero, room and elevated temperatures

Metallurgical Structure
Alloy 600 has a face-centred cubic structure.
Corrosion Resistance (continued)
Excellent resistance is shown in high purity water , as used in the primary and secondary circuits of some nuclear reactors.
Alloy 600 is particularly resistant to attack by dry chlorine or hydrogen chloride,
even at temperatures up to 650°C (1200°F).
At high temperatures in air the annealed and solution treated alloys show good
resistance to oxide scaling and have high strength.
The alloy also resists ammonia bearing atmospheres, as well as nitrogen and
carburising gases. Under alternating oxidising and reducing conditions this alloy
may suffer from selective oxidation (green rot).
