ASTM B168 Inconel Alloy 600 / 601 Sheet, Plate and Strip

ASTM B168 - Strip, Sheet and Plate

ASTM B168 specification covers rolled plates, sheets, and strips made of Nickel-Chromium-Iron Alloys (UNS Nos. N06600, N06601). ASTM B168 rolled sheets are basically process through two mill rolling machine where uniform thickeness and other dimension is measured and processed accurately. Inconel 600 Sheet material is sampled and prepared, then tested accordingly to examine their conformance to dimensional (thickness, weight, width, diameter, length, straightness, edge, squareness, and flatness), mechanical (tensile and yield strengths, elongation, and Rockwell hardness), chemical composition, and grain size requirements.

Scope And Manufacturing

ASTM B168 specification covers Inconel 600 and Inconel 601 Sheet, Plate and Strip. One of the process used for manufacturing of sheets or plate is rolling. The rolling is of two types, hot rolling and cold rolling. Mostly, rolling is done at high temperature, called hot rolling because of large deformations requirement. Hot rolling results in residual stress-free product. However, scaling is a major problem, due to which dimensional accuracy is not maintained. Cold rolling of sheets, foils, etc. is gaining importance, due to high accuracy and lack of oxide scaling. Cold rolling also strengthens the product due to work hardening.

Mumbadevi Steel India (MSI) is a supplier of all types of Inconel 600 Sheet, Inconel 600 Plate, Inconel 601 Sheet, Inconel 601 Plate. These alloys possess high strength and resistance at elevated temperatures.
