Inconel 601 (Legierung 601, UNS N06601) Bar/Rod Applications:
- Steam Generators:
- Engineers employ the alloy in pipes and components of steam generators, particularly in nuclear and thermal power plants. Its resistance to high‐temperature oxidation and steam‐induced corrosion sustains operational efficiency and longevity.
- Fire-resistant Anchoring, Cable Annealing and Radiation Pipes:
- The material is used in the manufacture of fire-resistant anchors and for cable annealing and radiation pipes in heat treatment furnaces, thereby maintaining structural integrity at high temperatures.
- Superheaters:
- It is utilised for superheater tubes in power plants, where it endures high temperatures and pressures, thereby ensuring reliable operation and extended service life.
- Constructed Combustion Chambers:
- The alloy is applied in the construction of combustion chambers in aerospace and industrial settings, where oxidation resistance at high temperatures is required to maintain performance under strict conditions.
- Thermal Reactors in Exhaust Systems of Petrol Engines:
- It is incorporated in thermal reactors within exhaust systems for petrol engines to manage high-temperature gases and reduce emissions by supporting efficient combustion, given that its high-temperature corrosion resistance is retained.
- Electronic Components:
- The material is used in producing electronic components where electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance are necessary to ensure durability and reliability.
