The Inconel 601 Perforated Metal is basically comprised of nickel, chromium and iron employed in the engineering operations. The Perforated Metaloffers enormous resistance to heat, oxidation and corrosion at the elevated temperatures. The alloy offers superior resistance to aqueous corrosion and possesses significant mechanical potential. Moreover it can be conveniently formed and weldable.
The resistance to oxidation is vitally improved by the addition of aluminum. The composition properties of inconel alloy perforated metal enable it for widely using in the heat processing, chemical treatment, controlling the pollution level, aircraft and ower production fields.
The Inconel 601 Perforated Metal is the significant raw material for making diverse kinds of thermal processing devices. The heating equipments used on the commercial scale like trays, baskets and fixtures for different processes like annealing, carburization carbonitridation and nitriding and more heating applications.
