General Description

Carlson Alloy C 6021 is a nickel-chromium alloy, developed specifically for high –temperature service. This alloy exhibits outstanding resistance to both cyclic and static oxidation at temperatures up to 2300°F (1260°C). It has good resistance to aqueous corrosion and high mechanical strength.

The high chromium and nickel content of C 601 provide a substantial degree of resistance to carburizing, nitriding and sulfur containing environments. The nickel-base also assures good resistance to stress corrosion cracking.

C 601 exhibits excellent tensile and yield strengths and good creep-rupture strength. It will not become embrittled by extended exposure to high temperatures.

Applications

• Thermal Processing – baskets, trays and fixtures for annealing, carburizing, carbonitriding, nitriding and other heat treating applications: radiant tubes, muffles, retorts, flame shields and burner nozzles in industrial furnaces; furnace atmosphere generators; infrared radiant shields.
• Chemical Processing – process heaters and insulating cans in ammonia reformers; combustion components and catalyst grid supports in nitric acid production; catalyst regenerators and air preheaters in polyethylene production.
• Pollution Control – combustion chambers in solid waste incinerators
• Power Generation – superheater tube supports, grid barriers and ash-handling systems.
• Gas Turbines – containment rings
