VDM® Alloy 601 (2.4851/N06601)
VDM® Alloy 601 is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy with additions of aluminum and titanium. This alloy is specifically recommended for service above 550 °C (1,022 °F) because of its higher creep-rupture properties resulting from its controlled carbon content and coarse grain size.
Characteristics of VDM® Alloy 601
VDM® Alloy 601 (2.4851/N06601) is characterized by:
- Outstanding resistance to oxidation at high temperatures
- Good resistance to carburizing conditions
Applications of VDM® Alloy 601
VDM® Alloy 601 has found a wide variety of applications in high temperature areas in furnace construction, the chemical industry, in environmental protection facilities, in the automobile industry and in power plants. Typical applications are:
- Trays, baskets and fixtures for heat treatment plants, e. g. in carburizing or carbonitriding environments
- Refractory anchors, strand-annealing and radiant heater tubes, high-velocity gas burners, wire mesh belts in industrial furnaces
- Isolating inserts in ammonia crackers and catalyst support grids in nitric acid production
- High temperature components in automotive parts, e. g. manifolds, glow plug tubes or sensor caps
- Combustion chambers in solid waste incinerators
- Tube supports and ash-handling components
- Components in exhaust gas systems
- Oxygen preheaters
