Inconel 617 Plates

Inconel 617 plates are high-performance nickel-chromium-cobalt-molybdenum alloy plates with excellent high-temperature oxidation and carburization resistance. These plates are made using hot rolling, which involves heating the metal to a high temperature and then rolling it into a flat sheet.

Inconel 617 is a unique alloy that is specifically designed for use in high-temperature applications. It is composed of nickel (44.5%), chromium (20-24%), cobalt (10-15%), and molybdenum (8-10%). The alloy also contains trace amounts of aluminium, carbon, copper, iron, manganese, silicon, sulphur, and titanium.

Benefits of Inconel 617 Plates

  1. Excellent High-Temperature Resistance: Inconel 617 Plates offer outstanding resistance to high-temperature oxidation and carburization. This makes them ideal for use in applications where high temperatures are prevalent.
  2. Good Mechanical Properties: Inconel 617 plates exhibit good mechanical properties at room and high temperatures. This includes high strength, flexibility, and toughness.
  3. Resistant to Thermal Shock and Fatigue: Inconel 617 plates are highly resistant to thermal shock and fatigue, making them ideal for harsh environments.
  4. High Creep and Rupture Strength: Inconel 617 plates exhibit high creep and rupture strength at high temperatures, making them suitable for applications where prolonged exposure to high temperatures is expected.
  5. Corrosion-Resistant: Inconel 617 plates are highly resistant to corrosion and can withstand aggressive environments such as those found in the chemical processing and petrochemical industries.
  6. Long service life: Due to their superior properties, Inconel 617 plates have a long service life, which reduces maintenance costs and downtime.
