PRODUCT OVERVIEW
About Inconel 601 Plate and Sheet
Inconel 601 Plate and Sheet comes in UNS N06601, an alumina-forming grade for high-temperature flat product. Moreover, the aluminium addition keeps the oxide layer attached where chromia scales spall. Gauges follow ASTM B168 under B906 general requirements.
Besides, the Inconel 601 hub collects composition, standards, and mechanical minimums for the grade. Meanwhile, bar and tubular product live on the Inconel 601 Bar and Rod and Inconel 601 Pipe and Tube pages.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Key Features of Inconel 601 Plate and Sheet
Inconel 601 plate, sheet, and strip covers UNS N06601 to ASTM B168 in the annealed condition, cut to your blank list. Gauges span 0.5 mm coil through 100 mm plate. Aluminium at 1.0-1.7% gives flat product an oxide scale that resists spalling in kilns, incinerators, and heat-treatment equipment. EN 10204 3.1 certificates and heat-level traceability accompany every delivery.
Inconel 601
Scale That Stays Put
The alumina sub-scale survives repeated kiln cycles. As a result, plate faces do not shed oxide onto the workload.
01
Carburizing Furnace Plate
Trays and liners resist carbon pickup. Conversely, plain heat-resistant plate absorbs carbon and cracks.
02
Annealed Across Every Gauge
Hot-rolled plate, cold-rolled sheet, and strip all ship in the annealed condition under B168.
03
Full Gauge Span
In addition, you source coil from 0.5 mm and plate to 100 mm under one enquiry.
04
Formable Annealed Stock
Consequently, cold forming, spinning, and welding proceed without an aging or stress-relief step.
05
Bendable Without Cracking
Annealed plate takes tight radii, which suits fabricated liners, shields, and ducting.
06
Heat-Level Traceability
EN 10204 3.1 certificates carry the heat number, chemistry, and mechanical results for each plate.
07
WHY CHOOSE US
Why Choose Inconel 601
Flat-product enquiries are handled commercially by Southerly Alloy and produced at audited partner plants that melt and roll the grade. Your requirement reaches the plate mill that will run it. Consequently, gauge, cutting, and documentation are settled in one exchange.
01
Gauge Selected Against the Forming Plan
Specifically, we pick thickness and width from the bending or rolling step your shop runs next.
02
Profile Cutting Ready
Next, plasma, waterjet, and shear profiling bring plate to the blank geometry you draw.
03
Inspection Attached to the Order
Also, we book ultrasonic testing, PMI, and third-party witness as the service requires.
04
Export Documentation
Finally, the same commercial desk arranges packing method, Incoterm, and destination papers.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Reliable Production For Critical Applications
Flat 601 product passes through melt, hot rolling, cold rolling, and annealing before it is cut to size. In addition, the sequence shifts with the ordered gauge, standard, and acceptance level.
01
Melt and Chemistry Control
Nickel, chromium, and iron charge is melted to the N06601 window, with aluminium held inside its narrow band.
02
Refining
AOD or VOD treatment lowers carbon and sulphur. Next, ESR refines heats bound to critical service.
03
Hot Rolling
Afterwards, the mill reduces slabs to plate gauge on a schedule set for the ordered thickness.
04
Cold Rolling
Sheet and strip reach final gauge on cold mills, which improves tolerance and surface finish.
05
Solution Annealing
Then the line anneals material between 1100 and 1200 °C and cools it rapidly to set the oxide-forming structure.
06
Cutting and Inspection
Finally, leveling, cutting to size, and release follow the ordered acceptance level.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Strict Quality Control From Production To Delivery
First, we verify chemistry, mechanics, gauge, and surface on every batch before release. That work sits inside the ISO 9001 system. Above all, a mill certificate accompanies every delivery, and third-party inspection books onto the order when required.
01

What Our Clients Say
Feedback from buyers and engineers who source nickel alloy materials from Southerly Alloy.
★★★★★
“Kiln tray plate arrived flat and cut to our blank list, and the aluminium figure on the certificate matched our incoming check.”
★★★★★
“Reformer insulation can sheet held its thickness across the whole order, so our rolling sequence never needed adjustment.”
★★★★★
“The ultrasonic records travelled with the plate, which turned incoming inspection into a document check instead of a re-test.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which ASTM standard covers Inconel 601 plate and sheet?
You order flat-rolled 601 product to ASTM B168, which sits alongside B906 general requirements. Additionally, ASME SB168 applies under code jurisdiction.
What thickness range is available for Inconel 601 plate?
Gauges run from 0.5 mm coil through 100 mm hot-rolled plate, cut to your length and width. Still, thicker sections depend on slab supply.
What is the maximum temperature for Inconel 601 flat product?
Flat product resists oxidation in air to roughly 1250 °C (2282 °F) under cycling. However, atmosphere, load, and support spacing decide the practical limit.
Can Inconel 601 plate be supplied in a non-annealed condition?
B168 lists annealed for this grade. For that reason, we quote as-rolled supply against a mill specification rather than the standard. Confirm the condition you need at enquiry.
Can you supply cut blanks, rings, and circles?
Yes. Plasma, waterjet, and shear cutting produce blanks, rings, and circles from any stocked gauge.
What is your MOQ for Inconel 601 sheet?
A single plate or sheet covers most stocked gauges. Consequently, trial lots carry no premium hurdle.
What are your trade terms for Inconel 601 plate?
FOB is the default Incoterm. Alternatively, EXW, CIF, and DAP quotes follow confirmed destinations.
How is Inconel 601 plate priced?
We quote plate by weight in kilograms against the ordered gauge, width, and condition. The applicable Incoterm appears on every offer.
What is the lead time for Inconel 601 plate?
Standard gauges ship in 7-15 days. Meanwhile, we quote cut-to-size or heavy plate against the confirmed schedule.
Do you provide EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates?
Yes. Each delivery carries an EN 10204 3.1 certificate. Likewise, we can arrange third-party 3.2 endorsement on request.
REQUEST FOR QUOTATION
Need A Custom Alloy Solution?
Quote the thickness, width, length, and standard, plus the quantity required. We return price with the Incoterm attached, and cutting questions can ride along in the same message.
