Nickel Alloy 617, Inconel^® 617

Nickel Alloy 617 is a nickel-chromium-cobalt alloy that is known primarily for its exceptional metallurgical stability. Also sold under the brand name Inconel^® 617, this alloy brings a wide variety of other outstanding properties to users, including:

• Resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, thanks to added aluminum
• Good resistance to a wide range of corrosive aqueous environments
• Resistant to a number of different damaging reducing and oxidizing media
• Cobalt and molybdenum impart a solid-solution strengthening
• Easy to fabricate
• Ease of joining through most conventional welding techniques

Nickel Alloy 617 offers customers a unique chemical composition that includes:

• Ni 44.5%
• Cr 20-24%
• Co 10-15%
• Mo 8-10%
• Fe 3% max
• Si 1% max
• Al .8-1.5%
• Ti 0.6% max

Many industries around the globe rely on Inconel^® 617 or Nickel Alloy 617 for a number of different processes. The alloy is found in ducting, combustion cans, chemical production, heat-treating baskets, power-generating plants (both fossil fuel and nuclear), and gas turbines both on land and in the air.
