 N/A While offering outstanding mechanical strength, Nickel Alloy 601 pipes are also easy to fabricate and machine using common methods. It can be welded and joined with conventional products and techniques. Thanks to its versatile set of properties, Nickel Alloy 601 is often used for a variety of major construction products. For heat treatment equipment, Nickel Alloy 601 and Inconel® 601 are used to produce baskets, trays, and fixtures. In the aerospace industry, igniters and diffuser assemblies in gas turbines utilize Nickel Alloy 601.

Power generation equipment is often manufactured using Nickel Alloy 601 to build tube supports, grid barriers, and ash-handling systems. With a combination of corrosion resistance and strength, Nickel Alloy 601 is often used for tubes, muffles, retorts, conveyor belts, chain curtains, and flame shields for industrial furnaces. We stock and sell a variety of Nickel Alloy 601 forms including tube, sheet, strip, plate, round, flat bar, forging stock, hexagon, and wire.
