ASME SB167 N06601 Nickel Alloy Steel Heat Exchanger Tube , Petrochemical Industry
ASME SB167 N06601 Nickel Alloy Steel Heat Exchanger Tubes are highly resistant to both high-temperature oxidation and corrosion in aggressive chemical environments. Its superior properties make it a preferred material in critical industries like chemical processing, petrochemical refining, power generation, aerospace, and marine applications. The alloy’s excellent weldability, mechanical strength, and long-term durability ensure its performance in systems where both high temperatures and corrosive substances are involved.
Chemical Composition:
Mechanical Properties:
The material exhibits good tensile strength and yield strength at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for systems subject to mechanical stresses. It has a typical tensile strength range of 70-100 ksi (480-690 MPa) and yield strength in the range of 30-60 ksi (205-410 MPa).
Key Features:
Corrosion Resistance: The high nickel content provides excellent resistance to oxidizing environments and reducing acids, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, and acetic acid. This alloy is known for its resistance to both general corrosion and pitting corrosion. It is especially effective in acidic environments that involve chlorides and sulfides.
Oxidation Resistance: ASME SB167 N06601 is highly resistant to oxidation at high temperatures, up to approximately 1000°C (1832°F). This makes it ideal for use in applications involving exposure to high-temperature gases or fluids.
High-Temperature Strength: This alloy retains its mechanical strength even at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for heat exchangers and furnace components in industries where high temperatures are typical.
Formability and Weldability: The material offers good weldability, which is essential for fabricating complex shapes in the form of tubes and pipes. It can be welded using conventional methods, such as TIG and MIG welding, without the risk of cracking, provided proper procedures are followed.
Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance: The addition of titanium helps to significantly reduce the risk of stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which is crucial for applications involving high temperatures and corrosive environments.
