What is Inconel wire used for?
Inconel® is ideally used in the oil and gas extraction industries due to its high temperature resistance and oxidation resistant properties. The oil and gas industries need a superalloy metal, like Inconel®, that can withstand extreme environments and volatile, corrosive gasses.
What is Inconel wire?
The Inconel® 600 wire alloy is a Nickel-Chromium-Iron alloy that features outstanding resistance to deterioration, oxidation, and excellent performance at extreme temperatures. The nickel content contained within the wire itself allows it to be almost entirely immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion fracturing.
What is Inconel wire made of?
Inconel wire mesh is made of alloy wire of nickel, chrome and iron, which predominantly nickel, chromium as the second element. According to the different chemical composition content, the most common Inconel wire including Inconel 600, Inconel 601, Inconel 625, Inconel 718 and Inconel X-750 and so on.
What kind of metal is INCONEL?
Inconels are a class of nickel-chrome-based super alloys characterized by high corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, strength at high temperatures, and creep resistance. Inconel is able to withstand elevated temperatures and extremely corrosive environments due to two factors.
Is Inconel considered steel?
Inconel 925: Inconel 925 is a nonstabilized austenitic stainless steel with low carbon content.
What is the difference between Inconel 600 and 625?
Chromium. Alloy 625 has a higher chromium content than Alloy 600. The chromium content is the main element of the alloy’s oxidation resistance. Therefore, Inconel 625 has better antioxidant capacity than Inconel 600.
What P number is Inconel 600?
Inconel Alloy 600 is designated as UNS N06600 with nominal composition of 72Ni-15Cr-8Fe. According to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code(BPVC) Section IX: Welding and Brazing Qualifications, the welding P-Number of Inconel 600 is 43 and the brazing P-Number of Inconel 600 is 111.
What kind of alloy is Inconel 600 alloy?
Inconel® 600 is a Nickel-Chromium-Iron alloy with good corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and high strength at high temperatures.
What are the different types of Inconel wire?
Inconel 600 wires are made in flat, square and shaped wire forms. Other Inconel grades available in wire form are- Inconel alloy 601, Inconel 625 and Inconel 718.
Which is the highest temperature of Inconel 600?
About Inconel 600. Inconel 600 is a typically engineered metallic material that offers outstanding heat, oxidation and corrosion resistance. The highest service temperature of this super alloy goes up to 2000oF and the lowest goes down to the cryogenic limits.
Why does Inconel 600 wire not need age hardening?
The nickel content contained within the wire itself allows it to be almost entirely immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion fracturing. Furthermore, because it is both hardened and strengthened through cold work processes, Inconel® 600 does not need age-hardening treatments.
