Inconel 690
The Inconel alloys consist mainly of a group of metal alloys that offer high resistance to corrosive materials and environments. Inconel 690 falls into this category. However, unlike some of the other alloys in the group, it is a high-chromium and nickel alloy. The high-chromium element of the alloy gives it a particularly strong resistance to corrosion that occurs in aqueous atmospheres. Generally, this corrosion occurs as oxidizing acids and salts break a material down. Along with its ability to resist these stresses, Inconel 690 can also withstand the sulfidation that takes place at extremely high temperatures.
Along with its resistance to corrosives, Inconel 690 possesses strong metallurgical stability which allows it to maintain structural integrity in a wide range of applications. It also has a high level of strength and possesses fabrication traits that enable it to be used in a number of different settings. All of these aspects of Inconel 690 have made it a versatile alloy that has found use in a range of industries.
