Inconel 601 Sheets, Plates, Strip & Bars – UNS N06601

Inconel 601 (UNS N06601) – Stockist, Supplier and Processor in Mumbai Since 1992

Inconel 601 (UNS N06601, W.Nr 2.4851) is a nickel-chromium alloy with an aluminium addition that forms a tightly adherent oxide scale, giving it outstanding resistance to high-temperature oxidation, spalling and thermal cycling. As a stockist, supplier and processor in Mumbai since 1992, Ganesh Metals supplies Inconel 601 sheet, plate and strip to ASTM B168 / ASME SB168, round bar and forgings to ASTM B166, and seamless pipe and tube to ASTM B167. Pieces can be sheared or cut to size, and each consignment carries a mill test certificate to EN 10204 3.1 with the heat number marked on the material.

Inconel 601 is the grade engineers pick when Inconel 600 starts to scale. The aluminium-reinforced oxide layer stays attached during repeated heating and cooling, which is why 601 suits furnace hardware and combustion parts that cycle every day. For corrosive wet service it is not the first choice; 625 or C-276 handle that better. We can help you compare before ordering.

Why Choose Inconel 601?

Inconel 601 keeps its strength and metallurgical stability at high temperature, resists carburisation and sulphur-free combustion gases, and remains formable and weldable by standard methods. Its oxide scale resists spalling under thermal cycling, extending the life of hot components.

Applications:

Inconel 601 is chosen for parts that live at red heat and cycle often, where scale resistance sets the service life.

  • Thermal Processing: Furnace muffles, radiant tubes, baskets and conveyor parts that cycle between hot and cold.

  • Chemical Plants: Catalyst support grids and high-temperature reactor internals in oxidising gas.

  • Heat Exchangers: Recuperators and hot-gas exchanger parts where oxidation limits service life.

  • Power Generation: Combustion cans, burner nozzles and flame shields exposed to hot flue gas.

  • Aerospace: Combustor liners and hot-section components needing oxidation and thermal-fatigue resistance.

We supply Inconel 601 as sheets and plates, coils and strip, cut pieces, round bars, forgings and seamless tubes. Sizes on request – tell us thickness, width, length or diameter and the quantity you need.

Inconel 601: Specs, Sizes & Equivalents

Inconel 601 plates are often needed in non-standard pieces. We cut to your sizes and mark every piece with its heat number, and dimensions and thickness are checked against the ordered size, the spec tolerance and an agreed measuring method before the material is released.

Inconel 601: ASTM / ASME Specifications by Form

  • Sheet, Plate & Strip: ASTM B168 / ASME SB168

  • Round Bar, Rod & Forgings: ASTM B166 / ASME SB166. Seamless Pipe & Tube: ASTM B167 / ASME SB167 (annealed).

  • Other specs on request; material can also be supplied to equivalent EN/DIN designations such as 2.4851.

Typical Inconel 601 Chemistry & Properties

  • Typical: Ni 58–63, Cr 21–25, Al 1.0–1.7%

  • Typical density 8.11 g/cm³; melting range about 1360–1411 °C; adherent oxide scale; good resistance to thermal cycling.

  • Iron is the balance; the aluminium addition is what gives 601 its superior scaling resistance over 600.

FAQ: What is the main difference between 601 and 600?

  • 601 adds aluminium for better scale resistance.

  • Q: Which ASTM spec covers Inconel 601 sheet? A: ASTM B168 / ASME SB168, the same spec family as alloy 600.

  • Q: Is Inconel 601 good for wet acids? A: Not usually; it is designed for hot oxidising gas, so ask us about 625 or C-276.

Inconel 601 Equivalent Grades & FAQ

  • Equivalents: W.Nr 2.4851 · NiCr23Fe · Alloy 601

  • Q: Do you supply Inconel 601 cut pieces? A: Yes, cut to size with the heat number marked on each piece.
