Inconel 600 flanges are forged flanges made from Inconel 600 forgings in accordance with ASTM B564. Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy which has a nominal designation 72Ni-15Cr-8Fe as well as UNS N06600. These flanges(also called “Alloy 600 flanges”) are widely used in oil & gas projects and chemical processing industry due to its excellent resistance to oxidation at high temperatures and resistance to cracking corrosion and caustic corrosion. ASME B16.5 stipulates the pressure-temperature ratings for Inconel 600 flanges which should be furnished in the heat-treatment condition of anneal.
