Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy with good oxidation resistance at high temperatures and resistance to chloride ion stress-corrosion cracking, corrosion by high-purity water, and caustic corrosion. Used for furnace components, in chemical and food process-ing, in nuclear engineering, and for sparking electrodes.
