Inconel Alloy 617
- Resistant to corrosive aqueous conditions
- Easily welded through conventional process
- Resistant to both oxidizing and reducing media
- Creep and stress rupture strength
Description
Overview:
Inconel 617 offers great oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength. A unique combination of chromium-nickel-cobalt, it prevents spalling, carburization, and aqueous corrosion. The process of technology and equipment that are used in the process influence the work hardening rate and strength of the alloy.
Alloy Inconel 617 is commonly used in land base gas turbines, fossil fuels, aerospace, power production plants and catalyst grid support in acid processing
