TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Technical Specifications
Detailed technical information including chemical composition, mechanical properties, standards and available dimensions.
Chemical Composition
Nickel sits at 72.0% minimum inside the UNS N06600 window that ASTM B166 sets for this welding wire, with chromium held between 14.0% and 17.0%. Consequently, the iron-bearing balance of this welding wire keeps its matrix austenitic through repeated heating and cooling.
Importantly, the full composition table on the Inconel 600 material page lists every element against its ASTM B166 limit for this welding wire.
Mechanical Properties
The minimum all-weld-metal values below follow the AWS classification for Inconel 600 welding wire. Note that AWS does not specify yield strength for these filler metals.
| Product (all-weld metal) | Tensile Strength | Yield Strength | Elongation |
|---|---|---|---|
| ERNiCr-3 bare wire (AWS A5.14) | ≥80 ksi (550 MPa) | Not specified by AWS | ≥30% |
| ENiCrFe-2 electrode (AWS A5.11) | ≥80 ksi (550 MPa) | Not specified by AWS | ≥30% |
| ENiCrFe-3 electrode (AWS A5.11) | ≥80 ksi (550 MPa) | Not specified by AWS | ≥30% |
- As-welded ERNiCr-3 typically measures near 720 MPa strength with 480 MPa yield and 40% elongation; treat these as typical values, not standard minimums.
Physical Properties
Published references put the density of this welding wire near 8.47 g/cm³ and its melting range at 1370–1413 °C. Moreover, the solid-solution matrix keeps this welding wire non-magnetic right up to ambient temperature.
In addition, the physical properties table on the Inconel 600 material page carries the modulus, the thermal conductivity and the remaining design values behind this welding wire.
Filler Metal Classifications
Specifically, the three Inconel 600 welding products below are different compositions, not the same chemistry in two forms.
| Product | AWS Class | Key Composition | Typical Strength | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bare wire | ERNiCr-3 (A5.14) / S Ni 6082 | Ni ≥67%, Cr 18–22%, Nb+Ta 2.0–3.0% | ≥80 ksi (550 MPa) | GTAW / GMAW / SAW, one wire across four processes |
| Covered electrode | ENiCrFe-2 (A5.11) | Adds molybdenum 0.5–2.5% | ≥80 ksi (550 MPa) | 9% Ni steel LNG tanks, low-temperature cryogenic joints |
| Covered electrode | ENiCrFe-3 (A5.11) / Alloy 182 | High manganese 5.0–9.5% | ≥80 ksi (550 MPa) | Dissimilar joints with maximum crack resistance |
Standards
AWS A5.14 is the principal ERNiCr-3 classification for this welding wire, issued by the American Welding Society. Moreover, AWS A5.11 covers the ENiCrFe-2 and ENiCrFe-3 electrodes that pair with this welding wire.
| Standard | Product or Application |
|---|---|
| AWS A5.14 | ERNiCr-3 bare nickel-chromium-iron welding wire |
| AWS A5.11 | ENiCrFe-2 and ENiCrFe-3 covered welding electrodes |
| ASME SFA-5.14 | ASME version of the bare filler specification |
Above all, the full standards list on the Inconel 600 material page adds the European designations and the remaining product documents for this welding wire.
Dimensions
Therefore, Inconel 600 welding wire dimensions depend on the manufacturing route, standard and order quantity. The table below lists typical supply ranges; please confirm your size in the inquiry.
| Product Form | Typical Supply | Length |
|---|---|---|
| TIG Filler Rod (GTAW) | 1.6 / 2.0 / 2.4 / 3.2 / 4.0 mm × 1000 mm | 5 kg tube |
| MIG Wire (GMAW) | 0.8 / 0.9 / 1.0 / 1.2 / 1.6 mm | 5 kg or 15 kg spool |

| Custom Length | To drawing | Custom |
Available welding wire dimensions depend on the manufacturing route, standard, material condition and order quantity. Please confirm your required welding wire size, section and length in the inquiry.
Surface Finishes
Therefore, the surface condition decides how this welding wire machines, feeds and resists scaling in service. Specifically, we agree the finish on this Inconel 600 welding wire with your order.
| Surface Condition | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Clean Bright | The standard finish for bare ERNiCr-3 welding wire; we do not copper-coat it. |
| Spool Wound | Layer-wound welding wire for smooth GMAW feeding. |
| Straight Rods | Cut TIG rods of this welding wire with clean, deburred ends. |
Meanwhile, the surface finishes table on the Inconel 600 material page lists the remaining conditions we quote for this welding wire.
