ASTM B163 UNS N06600 Nickel Alloy Steel Seamless Tube For Heat Exchanger

ASTM B163 UNS N06600 Nickel Alloy Steel Tube

Overview

ASTM B163 N06600 is a specification for seamless nickel alloy (UNS N06600) pipes and tubes. The UNS N06600 alloy is also known as Inconel 600, which is a nickel-chromium alloy with good high-temperature strength and excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation. The ASTM B163 specification covers pipes and tubes in various sizes and thicknesses, and it includes requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment, and testing. This specification is commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, aerospace, and power generation.
