PRODUCT OVERVIEW
About Inconel 601 Bright Bar
Inconel 601 bright bar ships in UNS N06601, a nickel-chromium-iron alloy with 1.0 to 1.7% aluminium. Aluminium builds a sub-scale under the chromia layer of Inconel 601 bright bar, resisting spalling. As a result, this bright bar outlasts heat-resistant steels in furnace atmospheres.
We supply Inconel 601 bright bar to ASTM B166 and ASME SB166 in annealed, hot-finished and cold-drawn conditions. Every Inconel 601 bright bar order arrives with heat-number records and EN 10204 3.1 paperwork for incoming checks. Moreover, cut lengths and surface finishes for Inconel 601 bright bar are agreed before production starts.
Meanwhile, the full UNS N06601 chemistry behind Inconel 601 bright bar is set out on our Inconel 601 material page for cross-reference.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Reliable Production For Critical Applications
From charge weighing to final release, Inconel 601 bright bar follows a controlled melting and finishing route. We document each Inconel 601 bright bar stage against its heat number.
01
Charge Weighing
We weigh Inconel 601 bright bar charge stock of nickel, chromium and iron, then target aluminium inside the 1.0 to 1.7% band.
02
Primary Melting
First, we melt and refine the Inconel 601 bright bar charge through AOD or VOD practice.
03
Electroslag Remelting
Next, ESR refines the Inconel 601 bright bar electrode where cleanliness demands it.
04
Casting
Then, we cast the refined Inconel 601 bright bar metal into ingots under controlled solidification.
05
Hot Working
After that, forging and rolling reduce the ingot to Inconel 601 bright bar section.
06
Solution Annealing
Subsequently, we anneal Inconel 601 bright bar between 1100 and 1200 °C and cool it fast.
07
Cold Finishing
Drawing, peeling or grinding then brings the Inconel 601 bright bar surface to the ordered finish.
08
Inspection and Release
Finally, we verify Inconel 601 bright bar chemistry, size and surface, then issue the certificate.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Technical Specifications
Detailed technical information including chemical composition, mechanical properties, standards and available dimensions.
Chemical Composition
ASTM B166 sets 58.0–63.0% nickel and 21.0–25.0% chromium for UNS N06601, and it orders this bright bar to an aluminium band of 1.0–1.7%. Above all, that aluminium level is what builds the protective oxide on this bright bar at temperature.
Indeed, the full composition table on the Inconel 601 material page lists every element against its ASTM B166 limit for this bright bar.
Mechanical Properties
The minimum room-temperature values below apply to UNS N06601 bar in the annealed and hot-finished conditions per ASTM B166. The applicable condition and section size govern final acceptance of Inconel 601 bright bar.
| Condition | Tensile Strength | Yield Strength, 0.2% Offset | Elongation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annealed (cold-worked or hot-worked) | ≥95 ksi (655 MPa) | ≥35 ksi (240 MPa) | ≥30% |
| Hot-finished, as-worked | ≥85 ksi (585 MPa) | ≥35 ksi (240 MPa) | ≥15% |
- Some published datasheets quote 80 ksi (550 MPa) and 30 ksi (205 MPa) as the annealed minimum; the applicable ASTM B166 edition and the ordered condition decide final acceptance.
Physical Properties
Published references give this bright bar a density near 8.11 g/cm³, a melting range of 1360–1411 °C and an elastic modulus near 206 GPa. Moreover, the non-magnetic behaviour of this bright bar holds right through its working range.
In addition, the physical properties table on the Inconel 601 material page carries the electrical resistivity, the thermal expansion and the remaining design values behind this bright bar.
Heat Treatment
Inconel 601 bright bar is a solid-solution alloy, so annealing rather than aging sets its final softness. We supply the bright bar in the condition below that your furnace duty needs.
| Condition | Typical Treatment |
|---|---|
| Solution Annealed | Held between 1100 and 1200 °C (2010–2190 °F), then cooled rapidly |
| Stress Relieved | Available when straightness or residual stress demands it |
| Custom Condition | Heat treatment according to the agreed specification |
Standards
ASTM B166 is the principal UNS N06601 bar and rod document for this bright bar, issued by ASTM International. Moreover, ASME SB166 covers pressure equipment built from this bright bar and SAE AMS 5715 covers aerospace procurement.
| Standard | Product or Application |
|---|---|
| ASTM B166 | Nickel-chromium-iron alloy rod, bar and wire |
| ASME SB166 | ASME counterpart for pressure equipment |
| SAE AMS 5715 | Nickel alloy 601 bars, forgings and rings, annealed |
In short, the full standards list on the Inconel 601 material page adds the European designations and the remaining product documents for this bright bar.
Dimensions
Therefore, Inconel 601 bright bar 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Bright Bar | 6–150 mm dia. | Cut to length or random |
| Bright-Drawn Bar | 6–80 mm dia. | Cut to length |
| Peeled Bar | 20–100 mm dia. | Cut to length |
| Centreless-Ground Bar | 3–100 mm dia. | Cut to length |
| Precision-Ground Bar | 3–80 mm dia. | Cut to length |
| Polished Bar | 6–100 mm dia. | Cut to length |
| Bright Hex Bar | 10–80 mm A/F | Cut to length |
| Custom Bright Bar | To drawing | Custom |
Available bright bar dimensions depend on the manufacturing route, standard, material condition and order quantity. Please confirm your required bright bar size, section and length in the inquiry.
Surface Finishes
Therefore, the surface condition decides how this bright bar machines, welds and sheds scale in service. Specifically, we agree the finish on this Inconel 601 bright bar with your order.
| Surface Condition | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Cold Drawn | Close diameter control on this bright bar with a bright surface. |
| Peeled | Uniform diameter on this bright bar, with a machined skin for further turning. |
| Polished | Reduced roughness on this bright bar for visible or handled components. |
Meanwhile, the surface finishes table on the Inconel 601 material page lists the remaining conditions we quote for this bright bar.
