Heat Resistant Alloys
UNS N06601, 2.4851, comparable to Inconel 601 Alloy
UNS N06601 is a nickel-chromium alloy with excellent mechanical strength and superior heat resistance. Aluminum provides further oxidation, carburization, and sulfurization protection, ideal for heat treatment furnaces, diesel vehicle glow plugs, and other components. Featuring a high temperature variability, this alloy is especially suited for descaling applications.

Workability
N06601 is a versatile alloy with superior hot and cold workability. Hot working is relatively easy between temperatures 1050-1200℃, though light work may be done at 850℃. To avoid cracking, temperatures between 650-850℃ should be avoided. After hot working, cooling rapidly between 500-800℃ is recommended to prevent carbide precipitation. N06601's cold workability is comparable to Type 310S and Alloy 800.
Weldability
N06601 is a stainless steel alloy that is ideally suited for welding techniques such as TIG, MIG, and Shield Metal Arc welding. Edge preparation should be completed using mechanical cutting to ensure clean welding. When doing wide U- and V-groove angles, care should be taken to minimize surface contamination as N06601 is sensitive to it.
Heat Treatment
This product is specially designed to achieve high temperature strength. After cold working, softening occurs at 900℃. Solution treatment at 1100-1200℃ is recommended for optimum strength. Cooling should be done quickly, using water or air cooling for thinner material, to ensure carbide precipitation does not occur in the 500-800℃ range.
Machinability
N06601 is a high-nickel alloy with low machinability, so cutting with a high-speed steel tool is possible but not recommended. For better performance, use a sintered carbide tool and slower feed speeds for deep cutting.
Our machine work provides the perfect foundation for welding and heat treatments, thanks to its ability to remove any remaining lubricants. This ensures the best results for the entirety of the process.
Applications
This product offers durable furnace parts for industrial heat treatment, glass melting and automotive applications. It includes muffle furnaces, baskets, glow plugs and exhaust gas sensor covers to meet a variety of needs. All parts are designed to work efficiently with maximum temperature control.
