All You Need to Know About Inconel 600 Bolts

What are Inconel 600 Bolts?

Inconel 600 bolts are made of a nickel-chromium alloy that contains large amounts of chromium and small amounts of aluminum, iron, yttrium, and titanium. This combination provides the bolt with excellent resistance to oxidation at high temperatures and superior corrosion resistance in most acids. The bolt is also resistant to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking and is heat treatable.

Applications of Inconel 600 Bolts

Inconel 600 Bolts are used in industries requiring extreme temperatures or corrosive environments, aerospace, and power generation. They’re ideal for applications such as furnaces and kilns where exposure to high temperatures can cause other fasteners to degrade quickly. 

Their corrosion resistance also makes them useful in chemical processing plants where exposure to acidic chemicals can cause regular steel fasteners to corrode over time. Additionally, these bolts can be used on offshore oil rigs due to their resistance to saltwater corrosion.

Benefits of Inconel 600 Bolts

Several advantages are associated with using Inconel 600 bolts instead of traditional fasteners like carbon or stainless steel. First and foremost is their superior strength even at extreme temperatures—they can withstand temperatures up to 2200°F (1200°C). Additionally, they tend not to harden when exposed to long periods of stress or strain due to their special composition. 

This makes them highly resistant to fatigue failure compared to standard fasteners. Finally, they offer excellent creep resistance, which makes them ideal for use in radiation zones or areas where heat constantly fluctuates. Unlike other types of metals, they won’t suffer from deformation due to long-term exposure.
