NAS601; Ni Base Heat/Oxidation Resistant Alloy
Characteristics of NAS 601
A nickel base alloy also containing chromium and aluminum, NAS 601 (NCF 601, UNS N06601), comparable to alloy 601, is resistant at high temperatures, and has powerful resistance to oxidation, carburization and sulfurization. It excels particularly in exfoliation resistance in repeated oxidation applications with a high temperature variation, and is therefore used in various parts for heat treatment furnaces, diesel vehicle glow plugs and the like.
