Mechanical properties of Inconel 600

As we know the inconel 600 offers broad strength and toughness on base of its production conditions. The wire’s mechanical properties are shown in the below table:

Form and Condition	Tensile Strength, ksi	Yield Strength, ksi	Elongation, %	Hardness, Rockwell
Wire
Cold-Drawn
Annealed	80-120	35-75	45-20	–
No. 1 Temper	105-135	70-105	35-15	–
Spring Temper	170-220	150-210	5-2	–

 

The wire exhibits intermediate yield strength of 25,000 to 50,000 ksi and it is paired with the elongation about 55 to 35% provides fabrication with minor issues. In the severe cold processing, it offers large tensile strength about 220,000 psi. The evaluation of total hemispherical emissivity and total normal emissivity are provided as following:

	600 oF	900 oF	1200 oF	1500 oF	1800oF	2000oF
Total Hemispherical Emissivity	0.69	0.72	0.76	0.79	0.82	–
Total Normal Emissivity As-Rolled and Oxidized	–	0.85	0.87	0.90	0.95	0.98
Sand-Blasted and Oxidized	–	0.86	0.90	0.93	0.96	0.97

The  below table represents the tensile properties of inconel 600 at room temperature in the hot annealed condition at the variable temperature. The tensile properties of alloy in the forged to 31% reduction at the temperature of 1600oF

870oC are provided for forging and subsequently to the annealing processing is provided in the below table:

Heat Treatment B °F/1 hr	Tensile Strength, ksi	Yield Strength, ksi	Elongation,%	Hardness, Rb
1300	100.5	61.0	34	92
1400	97.5	57.0	31	89
1500	98.5	57.0	33	91
1600	102.0	62.0	32	93
1700	102.5	41.5	30	88

The above table describes the influence of annealing on the features of cold processed alloy. The tensile strength characteristics of cold treated tubing of alloy in the drawn and annealing conditions are provided as following:

Heat Treatment B °F/1 hr	Tensile Strength, ksi	Yield Strength, ksi	Elongation,%	Hardness, Rb
1200	143.5	124.0	17.5	32
1300	131.5	108.2	18.0	30
1400	103.0	41.5	41.0	88
1500	100.3	39.7	42.0	83
1600	100.5	40.5	43.0	83

The inconel 600 wire introduces excellent impact strength even at the normal room temperatures and sustains its whole strength at the lower value of temperatures. the wire doesn’t allow the hard to brittle conversion of material with the reducing temperature. The impact strength for 0.5 inch thicker plate at the room and lower temperature limits are shown in the below table:

Orientation	Temperature		Impact Strength J
	oF	oC
Transverse	70	21	86.1
	-110	-79	88.8
	-320	-196	82.4
Longitudinal	70	21	83.7
	-110	-79	90.8
	-320	-196	83.1

Moreover the impact strength of inconel alloy in other forms at room temperature is provided in the below table:

Condition	Impact Strength
	Izod Notch, J	Charpy U-Notch, J
Cold-Drawn	>163	312
Cold-Drawn, Annealed	95-136	205
Hot-Rolled	>163	312
Hot-Rolled, Annealed	136-163	–

The impact strength of inconel 600  at the high temperature is given below:

Temperature		Impact Strength
oF	oC	Annealed,J	Cold-Drawn, J
70	21	244	155
800	430	254	114
1000	540	217	116
1200	650	217	141
