Inconel Alloy 617
Common Trade Names: Inconel 617, Alloy 617, Nicrofer 617
INCONEL alloy 617 is designated as UNS N06617 and Werkstoff Nr. 2.4663a is a solid-solution, strengthened, nickel-chromium-cobalt- molybdenum alloy with an exceptional combination of high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance. The alloy also has excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments, and it is readily formed and welded by conventional techniques.
Properties:
- The high nickel and chromium contents make the alloy resistant to a variety of both reducing and oxidizing media.
- The aluminum in conjunction with the chromium, provides oxidation resistance at high temperatures
- Thermal expansion of INCONEL alloy 617 is lower than that of most other austenitic alloys, reducing stresses from differential expansion when the alloy is coupled with carbon steels or low-alloy steels
Typical Applications:
- components of power-generating plants, both fossil fueled and nuclear
- is used for catalyst-grid supports in the production of nitric acid, for heat-treating baskets, and for reduction boats in the refining of molybdenum
- an attractive material for such components as ducting, combustion cans, and transition liners in both aircraft and land-based gas turbines
Product Forms:
- Sheets, Strips, Plates
- Round Bars, Flat Bars, Hexagon
- Pipes, tubes, fittings and flanges
- Wires
