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.
