Carlson Alloy C 600 Nickel-Chromium-Iron Alloy

Subcategory: Superalloy; Nickel Alloy; Nonferrous Metal

Key Words: UNS N06600

Material Notes:
Carlson Alloy C 600 is nickel-chromium alloy, developed for use in severely corrosive environments at elevated temperatures. The high nickel content of this alloy provides excellent resistance to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking and imparts resistance to corrosion by a number of organic and inorganic compounds. Chromium gives this alloy its resistance to oxidation at temperatures up to 2150°F (1175°C). C 600 combines high strength with desirable workability. It has excellent mechanical properties from sub-zero to elevated temperatures.

Applications

• Chemical Processing – calcium and magnesium chloride production; hydrofluoric acid processes; catalyst support equipment in nitric acid production; ammonia converters; tubing, bends and flanges in vinylchloride production; fluorination reactors; fatty acid vessels; and chlorination equipment.
• Pulp and Paper – liquid heater tubing for pulp digesters; reactors and piping for disposal of organic wastes; sulfate and soda digester linings
• Ore Processing – chlorine preheaters for zirconium and titanium production; cans for purification of zirconium salts; titanium dioxide production; reactors for manufacturing aluminum fluoride.
• Food Processing – vegetable processing equipment
• Thermal Processing – equipment for heat treating muffles, retorts, baskets and boxes, furnace fixtures and radiant tubing.
• Power Generation – nuclear reactors components and steam-turbine crossover bellows.
