Inconel 601 mesh is made of a nickel-chromium alloy (UNS N06601). It is designed for extreme heat applications where oxidation, carburization, and thermal fatigue resistance are critical. It is widely used in furnaces, heat treatment, aerospace, and industrial heating systems.
Key Features of Inconel 601 Mesh:
✔ Exceptional oxidation resistance (up to 2200°F / 1200°C)
✔ High strength at elevated temperatures
✔ Resists carburization & sulfur-bearing atmospheres
✔ Good mechanical properties under thermal cycling
✔ Excellent resistance to scaling and corrosion
Applications:
– Heat Treatment & Furnace Components
– Radiant tubes, muffles, mesh belts, heat shields
– Aerospace & Jet Engines
– Combustion chamber liners, afterburner components
– Chemical Processing
– Catalyst grids, reactor screens, pyrolysis systems
– Power Generation
– Gas turbine parts, burner nozzles
– Automotive (High-Performance Exhausts)
– Turbo heat shields, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) meshes

Comparison: Inconel 601 vs. Inconel 600 Mesh vs. 310 Stainless Steel Mesh:
Property | Inconel 601 | Inconel 600 | 310 Stainless Steel |
Max Temp (Oxidizing) | 2200°F (1200°C) | 2000°F (1093°C) | 2100°F (1150°C) |
Carburization Resistance | Excellent | Good | Moderate |
Thermal Fatigue Resistance | Superior | Good | Fair |
Cost | High | Moderate | Lower |
Why Choose Inconel 601 Mesh?
– Better oxidation resistance than Inconel 600 (due to aluminum content forming a protective oxide layer).
– Outperforms stainless steel 310 in cyclic heating applications.
– Ideal for continuous high-heat industrial processes.
Customization Options:
– Ultra-fine filtration (e.g., 200 mesh for gas diffusion) or coarse screens (e.g., 10 mesh for structural use).
– Heat-treated for optimal high-temp performance.
– Welded vs. woven construction (for rigidity or flexibility).
