Inconel 600 Spring Manufacturer

Coiling Technologies can produce Inconel 600 springs for a variety of industries and applications. Inconel 600 is one of the most common materials we use at Coiling Technologies for the energy and chemical processing industrial sectors.

Inconel 600 Spring Features & Benefits

Though more expensive than stainless steel, this alloy excels at elevated temperatures up to 650°F (345°C), handling compression springs stressed to 65,000 psi (450 MPa) with minimal load loss. At 50,000 psi (345 MPa), it offers a much longer fatigue life. This corrosion-resistant material is extensively used for heat-treating baskets and conveyor belts in furnaces up to 2200°F (1200°C). It’s also ideal for compression springs in steam valves, regulating valves, boilers, compressors, turbines, and jet engines.

Uses on Inconel 600 springs

Immune to chloride stress corrosion cracking

 

Inconel 600 is available in a variety of conditions from annealed to spring temper. The most common wires are No. 1 temper and Spring Temper wire for spring making. No 1 temper tensile range is 105 -135 Ksi whereas Spring Temper grade is typically utilized for higher stressed applications with a material tensile capacity as high as 220 Ksi. It should be noted the only way to achieve a higher tensile strength with Inconel 600 is to cold work the material by reducing it from a larger diameter to its final size. Unlike a precipitation hardening alloys like Inconel X750 age-hardening, the material is not possible. Typically, the material is stress relieved for 1 hr. at 850 – 900 F (450 – 480 C) for 1 hr. after coiling.

We can produce .008”-.625” wire and larger bar materials above 0.625” – 2.500”.
