Inconel 600
Designated as UNS N06600 or W.Nr. 2.4816, Inconel 600, also known as Alloy 600, is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy with good oxidation resistance at high temperatures and resistance to chloride ion stress-corrosion cracking, corrosion by high-purity water, and caustic corrosion. It is mainly used for furnace components, in chemical and food processing, in nuclear engineering, and for sparking electrodes. Inconel 600 (76Ni-15Cr-8Fe) is the basic alloy in the Ni-Cr-Fe system in which the high nickel content makes it resistant to reducing environments.
