Technical Data Mesh Specification Charts

Product Description:

Inconel 600 mesh is a woven or welded mesh made from Inconel 600 (UNS N06600), a nickel-chromium alloy designed for extreme heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. It is widely used in aerospace, chemical processing, and nuclear applications where standard stainless steels (e.g., 316, 310) fail. We supply this product in many sizes and product forms, such as mesh in sheet, roll, ring shape, round shape, heat treating baskets and heat treating trays, etc.

Key Features of Inconel 600 Mesh:

Material Composition (UNS N06600 / Alloy 600)

– Nickel (≥72%) → Provides outstanding high-temperature strength & corrosion resistance.

– Chromium (14-17%) → Enhances oxidation & scaling resistance.

– Iron (6-10%) → Balances structural integrity.

– Carbon (≤0.15%) → Maintains weldability.

Temperature Resistance:

✔ Continuous Service: Up to 1175°C (2150°F).

✔ Intermittent Service: Up to 1250°C (2280°F).

✔ Resists oxidation, carburization, and chlorination in extreme heat.

Corrosion Resistance:

✔ Excellent in sulfuric & hydrochloric acids (better than stainless steel).

✔ Resists chloride stress corrosion cracking (unlike 304/316).

✔ Performs well in caustic & alkaline environments.

Mesh Specifications:

– Weave Types:

– Plain Weave (standard for filtration).

-Crimped Weave

– Twill Weave (higher strength, smoother flow).

– Dutch Weave (ultra-fine filtration).

– Welded Mesh (rigid structural use).

– Mesh Sizes: From fine (400 mesh) to coarse (1/4″ openings).

– Wire Diameter: Customizable for strength vs. flow requirements.

Top Applications of Inconel 600 Mesh:

Aerospace & Jet Engines

– Combustion chambers, exhaust screens, afterburner components.

Chemical & Petrochemical Processing

– Chlorine gas filters, acid-resistant screens, reactor internals.

Nuclear & Power Generation

– Nuclear reactor components, heat exchanger screens.

Heat Treatment & Furnace Equipment

– Heat shields, radiant tubes, annealing baskets.

Marine & Offshore (High-End Applications)

– Subsea equipment, seawater-resistant filters.

When to Choose Inconel 600 Mesh?

– Extreme heat (1000°C+) where stainless steels fail.

– Corrosive chemical environments (acids, chlorine, caustics).

– Nuclear/aerospace applications requiring reliability.

When to Avoid Inconel 600?

– Budget-sensitive projects (cheaper alternatives like 310SS exist).

– Non-extreme environments (316L or 347 may suffice).

Fabrication & Handling Tips:

– Welding: Use Inconel 82/182 filler metals.

– Machining: Harder than steel; requires carbide tools.

– Cleaning: Passivate with nitric acid for best corrosion resistance.

Standards & Equivalent Grades:

– UNS N06600 (ASTM/ASME)

– EN 2.4816 (European)

– Common Trade Names: Alloy 600, Nicralloy 600.

Final Verdict

Inconel 600 mesh is the ultimate choice for extreme heat & corrosion resistance, outperforming stainless steels in aerospace, chemical, and nuclear industries. It’s expensive but unmatched in reliability for critical applications. For less extreme conditions, consider 310SS or 347SS. For stronger acid resistance, Hastelloy C276 mesh may be better.
