ASME SB163 Inconel 600 / UNS N06600 Nickel Alloy Seamless Heat Exchanger Tube​ 

Overview:

Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy that offers excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability. The material is known for its strength and resistance to high-temperature oxidation and carburization. Inconel 600 is often used in high-temperature applications, such as chemical processing, petrochemical refining, and nuclear power generation.

Inconel 600 seamless tubes are widely used in heat exchangers, furnace components, and other high-temperature applications. The tubes are produced using a seamless extrusion process that ensures uniform wall thickness, high mechanical strength, and excellent dimensional accuracy.

These tubes are available in different sizes, thicknesses and can handle a wide range of temperatures and pressures. They can also be customized to fit specific end-user requirements.

Inconel 600 seamless tubes are highly resistant to corrosion in both oxidizing and reducing conditions, even at high temperatures. The nickel content in Inconel 600 provides excellent resistance to corrosion by acids and alkalis.

The tubes also exhibit good mechanical properties, including excellent tensile and yield strength, high rigidity, and good ductility. These properties make Inconel 600 seamless tubes ideal for use in high-stress applications and environments.

Another advantage of Inconel 600 seamless tubes is their ability to withstand thermal cycles without deformation or cracking. This feature makes them ideal for use in high-temperature applications that experience frequent temperature changes.
