Why this combination
Why Inconel 600 in pipes
Pipe in hot oxidising atmospheres or chloride-bearing process streams at temperature is where alloy 600 replaces stainless; its nickel makes it virtually immune to chloride stress corrosion cracking.
For hot, concentrated caustic, nickel SS 201 is usually preferred; share the service with your enquiry.
