Monel 400 and Inconel 600 are two different nickel-based alloy materials, and they have some differences in composition and properties. Here are their main differences.
Ingredients
Monel 400: Monel 400 is a nickel-copper alloy containing about 67% nickel and about 23% copper, as well as some elements such as iron, manganese, and silicon.
Inconel 600: Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy containing about 76% nickel and about 15% chromium, and also contains small amounts of elements such as iron and carbon.
Corrosion resistance
Monel 400: Monel 400 has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in corrosive media such as strong alkali and hydrochloric acid. It also has good corrosion resistance to seawater, sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, etc.
Inconel 600: Inconel 600 performs well under high temperatures and corrosive media, and has good oxidation and corrosion resistance. It has good resistance to corrosive media such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, alkaline solutions and chlorides.
Physical properties
Monel 400: Monel 400 has good mechanical properties and thermal expansion properties and can be used over a wide temperature range.
Inconel 600: Inconel 600 has high strength and excellent heat resistance, and can maintain good stability in high temperature environments.
Application areas
Monel 400: Due to its good corrosion resistance, Monel 400 is commonly used in marine environments, chemical equipment, seawater treatment equipment, oil and gas industry and other fields.
Inconel 600: Inconel 600 is commonly used in heat treatment equipment, petrochemical equipment, nuclear industry, aerospace and other fields in high temperature environments.
