Inconel 600 Pipes | SteelNix: High-Performance Solutions for Extreme Environments

Submitted by SteelNix on Thu, 10/09/2025 - 00:03

If your project calls for pipes that can withstand harsh conditions - extreme temperatures and corrosive media, as well as cycles of stress -- common materials tend to fail. This is the place Inconel 600 pipes are a good choice. As SteelNix We aim to provide top-of-the-line Inconel 600 piping solutions that are built to last.
What Is Inconel 600?
Inconel 600 is chromium-nickel alloy (UNS N06600, W.Nr. 2.4816) popular for its high resistance to corrosion, oxidation and heat. Its composition is:
• ~ 72% nickel
• 14-17% chromium
• ~ 6-10% iron
• A small amount of manganese, carbon sulfur, copper, and silicon
Since it is a solid solution-enhanced alloy (not precipitation hardened) the strength of it is mostly due to the alloying process and cold work.
It is nonmagnetic, able to work and weldable when under the proper control.
Key Properties of Inconel 600 Pipes
Here are the features which make the Inconel 600 pipe a good choice for the most demanding of applications:
Property Description / Typical Range
Temperature resistance Service up to 2000 degF (1093 degrees Celsius) in oxidizing/reducing conditions.
Corrosion & oxidation resistance Excellent resistance to alkaline and acidic environments steam and high-purity waters. Chromium is a good antioxidant while nickel aids in the reduction of media.
Stress corrosion cracking / chloride resistance Inconel 600 exhibits a high resistance to stress corrosion caused by chloride ions cracking.
Mechanical force Minimum yield is 30 MPa, tensile > 655 MPa (varies depending on the products and cold-work)
Thermal fatigue and creep resistance Maintains mechanical integrity even under high thermal stress; is resistant to creep for extended time periods of high temperature.
Weldability & fabricability Good weldability, and is able to be cold or hot worked. It requires control to prevent undesirable microstructures.
Types & Specifications of Inconel 600 Pipes
SteelNix can provide Inconel 600 pipe in different types and specifications to suit the requirements of your application:
• Seamless pipes and tubes -- superior mechanical integrity, frequently used when purity, pressure or crucial service are important.
• Welded, ERW or EFW/LSAW pipes are more affordable for bigger diameters.
• Standards or specifications The most common are ASTM B167, B829 and B517 (or the ASME SB equivalents) for Inconel pipes and tubes 600.
• Schedules and sizes Dimensions range from small (e.g. 1/4", 1/2") to large (hundreds of millimeters) and thicknesses that fit light and strong wall demands.
• End ends -plain ends, beveled edges Flanged, threaded, threaded and more.
When describing purchases made from SteelNix You will typically mention your UNS code (N06600) or it is noted as the norm (e.g. ASTM B167) and dimensions (OD wall thickness, wall thickness, length) and end finish and any required certification or testing.
