Overview

As a leading supplier & manufacturer in China, AEETHER supply cost-effective Inconel 690 Products.

INCONEL® alloy 690 (UNS N06690 / W. Nr. 2.4642) is a high-chromium nickel alloy having excellent resistance to many corrosive aqueous media and hightemperature atmospheres. In addition to its corrosion resistance, alloy 690 has high strength, good metallurgical stability, and favorable fabrication characteristics.

The substantial chromium content gives the alloy outstanding resistance to oxidizing chemicals and to high-temperature oxidizing gases. The high level of nickel imparts resistance to stresscorrosion cracking in chloride-containing environments as well as to sodium hydroxide solutions.

The properties of INCONEL alloy 690 are useful for various applications involving nitric or nitric/hydrofluoric acid solutions. Examples are tail-gas reheaters used in nitric acid production and heating coils and tanks for nitric/hydrofluoric solutions used in pickling of stainless steels and reprocessing of nuclear fuels.

The alloy’s resistance to sulfur-containing gases makes it an attractive material for such applications as coal-gasification units, burners and ducts for processing sulfuric acid, furnaces for petrochemical processing, recuperators, incinerators, and glass vitrification equipment for radioactive waste disposal.

In various types of high-temperature water, alloy 690 displays low corrosion rates and excellent resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. Thus, alloy 690 is widely used for steam generator tubes, baffles, tubesheets, and hardware in nuclear power generation.

Mechanical Properties

INCONEL alloy 690 has high strength over a broad range of temperatures. Mechanical properties of the alloy vary with product form and temper. Alloy 690 is normally used in the annealed temper, and strength characteristics described below are representative of annealed material. The usual annealing temperature is approximately 1900°F (1040°C).

Corrosion Resistance

INCONEL alloy 690 has excellent resistance to corrosion in a broad range of aqueous and high temperature environments. Because of its high chromium content, the alloy is particularly resistant to oxidizing conditions. Alloy 690 also offers excellent resistance to attack by sulfur at high temperatures.
