Description
An Economical Substitute for Platinum in many High Temperature Environments
Inconel alloy 601 has excellent resistance to oxidation in the 1000°C to 1200°C temperature range and also has good corrosion resistance to many acid and aqueous salt solutions. This high resistance to oxidation, carburization or sulfidation makes Inconel alloy 601 well suited for determining moisture, volatiles, fix-carbon and ash in most coal and coke products, or wood pulp or fiber. The alloy is well suited for use with sodium hydroxide solutions and exhibits good resistance to nitric acid and low concentrations of phosphoric acid. It is also unaffected by rapid changes from hot to cold and retains its mechanical strength at elevated temperatures. Strong alkaline or oxidizing fusions are not recommended with Inconel alloy 601.
Inconel alloy 601 crucibles may be your answer to high-temperature applications requiring resistance to oxidation and spalling where platinum has traditionally been relied up.

Product Details
Inconel® nickel-chromium-iron alloy 601 is a general purpose engineering for applications that require resistance to heat and corrosion. Inconel® alloy 601 has excellent resistance to oxidation in the 1000° to 1200° C temperature range and also has good corrosion resistance to many acid and aqueous salt solutions.
The properties of Inconel® alloy 601 make it a material of broad utility in such fields as thermal processing, chemical processing, pollution control, aerospace, and power generation. It has been used for crucibles, baskets, trays and fixtures for annealing, carburizing, carbonitriding, nitriding and other heat-treating operations. Industrial furnace applications include radiant tubes, mufflers, retorts, flame shields, burner nozzles and electrical resistance heating elements. In the pollution-control industry it is used for combustion chambers in solid waste incinerators. The alloy is also used for jet engine igniters and containment rings in gas turbines for aircraft.
