Inconel 601
2.4851Nickel-chromium-iron alloy with aluminum for outstanding high-temperature oxidation resistance up to 1200°C. The Al forms a protective oxide scale resistant to spalling under cyclic thermal conditions. Better oxidation resistance than Inconel 600 (which lacks Al). Used for furnace hardware (baskets, trays, fixtures), radiant tubes, thermocouple protection tubes, catalyst support grids, and thermal reactors in automotive exhaust systems.
