Inconel 601 (UNS N06601) raises the chromium level of 600 and adds 1.0–1.7% aluminium, producing a dense Cr₂O₃/Al₂O₃ scale that resists oxidation to 1250 °C. It excels against carburisation and cyclic oxidation, making it a first choice for heat-treating and petrochemical cracking furnaces.
As a manufacturer and global exporter of special alloys since 2012, Shanghai Hangbo Alloy Group Co., Ltd. supplies Inconel 601 as round bars (φ2–600 mm, up to 12 m), plates & sheets (0.5–100 mm thick, up to 2500 mm wide), seamless tubes & pipes (φ6–630 mm OD, 0.5–40 mm wall), precision strip (0.02–3.0 mm, ±0.005 mm tolerance), welding wire & coils (1.0–5.0 mm), forgings & rolled rings (up to 7500 kg, 3500 mm OD) — all with EN 10204 3.1 certified material test reports.

Frequently asked questions
What is the advantage of Inconel 601 over 600?
601 raises chromium to 21–25% and adds 1.0–1.7% aluminium, lifting oxidation resistance from about 1095 °C (600) to 1250 °C with markedly better carburisation and thermal-fatigue performance. Choose 601 when service exceeds 900 °C or carburising atmospheres are present.
How does Inconel 601 behave in sulphidising atmospheres?
601 performs well in oxidising sulphur-bearing gases, but nickel forms low-melting eutectics with sulphur, so reducing high-sulphur (low-oxygen) environments require careful evaluation — consider high-chromium iron-base alloys or a service simulation test.
What forms and sizes are available?
We supply Inconel 601 as round bars (φ2–600 mm, up to 12 m), plates & sheets (0.5–100 mm thick, up to 2500 mm wide), seamless tubes & pipes (φ6–630 mm OD, 0.5–40 mm wall), precision strip (0.02–3.0 mm, ±0.005 mm tolerance), welding wire & coils (1.0–5.0 mm), forgings & rolled rings (up to 7500 kg, 3500 mm OD). Custom lengths, tolerances and machining to drawing are available on request.
What is the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ is flexible — trial orders from a single piece are welcome. Stock sizes ship in 3–7 days; custom forgings and machined parts typically 15–35 days depending on quantity and process.
Can you provide third-party inspection and shipping to my port?
Yes. SGS / BV / TUV or your nominated inspector can witness all tests before shipment. Full export documentation is provided, and we ship worldwide by sea or air on FOB, CIF or DDP terms.
