Inconel 617 (UNS N06617/W.Nr. 2.4663a) is a solid-solution,
strengthened, nickel-chromium alloy. Known for its use in extreme
environments, Inconel 617 exhibits high-temperature strength and
oxidation resistance and excellent resistance to a broad range of
corrosive environments even at temperatures over 1800°F (980°C).
Inconel 617’s unique properties make it ideal for use in components
in a broad range of industries, including power generation,
nuclear, petrochemical, food processing, aerospace, thermal
processing, and chemical industries.
Alloy 617 has a unique composition specifically designed for harsh
high-temperature environments subject to pressures and heat. Its a
high nickel and chromium composition makes it resistant to both
reducing and oxidizing media. It’s aluminum content, combined with
its chromium content, provides oxidation resistance at high
temperatures, while its cobalt and molybdenum content impart
solid-state strengthening. The alloy’s composition also enables it
to withstand many wet, corrosive environments.
At high temperatures, the alloy’s chromium and aluminum content
form a thin subsurface zone of oxide particles, which provides the
correct diffusion conditions for creating a protective chromium
oxide layer on the metal’s surface. This alloy also features
excellent resistance to carburization and aqueous corrosion by
media, although the alloy is generally used only at high
temperatures.
Alloy 617 belongs to the Inconel family of highly versatile
nickel-chromium-based superalloys. These alloys are remarkably
resistant to oxidation and corrosion and have high-performance
capabilities under high temperatures. They also offer a superior
combination of toughness and strength for demanding applications or
harsh environments subject to pressures and heat.
Nickel Inconel 617 is available in different shapes. Its standard
product forms are round, forging stock, extruded section, plate,
sheet, strip, pipe, tube, and wire. Alloy 617 can be formed and
welded using conventional techniques.
Tech Steel & Materials offers Inconel 617 in 3 sub-type
specifications and in multiple shapes/forms:
- AMS 5887 (Bar, Forging, Ring and, Custom Tubing)
- AMS 5888 (Plate)
- AMS 5889 (Sheet and Strip)
Uses of Inconel 617
Inconel 617 is used widely in a wide variety of applications, such
as steam generator superheaters, re-heater parts, and intermediate
heat exchangers in gas-cooled reactors. Additional uses include
ducting, combustion cans, and transition liners in aircraft and
land-based gas turbines, as well as catalyst-grid supports used in
producing nitric acid, heat-treating baskets, and reduction boats
in the refining of molybdenum, primarily because of its superior
resistance to high-temperature corrosion. Other uses include
aircraft gas turbines, where high strength-to-weight ratio is
desirable, and oil power plants.
Properties of Inconel Alloy 617
Alloy 617’s offers mechanical properties over a wide range of
temperatures. Among the alloy’s most critical characteristics is
the strength level it maintains at elevated temperatures without
losing corrosion resistance. The alloy’s resistance to
high-temperature corrosion increases its strength’s usefulness. The
alloy’s thermal expansion is much lower than that of other
austenitic alloys, however. This feature reduces stresses from
differential expansion when it unites with carbon steels or low
alloy steels.
Inconel 617 isn’t hardenable by heat treatment but can be cold
worked to various tempers. The alloy displays good metallurgical
stability for a material of its strength and exceptionally high
levels of creep-rupture strength at temperatures of 1800°F (980°C)
and above. Inconel 617 also displays good fabricability. Forming
and machining can be done using standard techniques for
nickel-based alloys.
Inconel 617 also features excellent weldability. Inconel Filler
Metal 617 is used for gas-tungsten-arc and gas-metal-arc welding.
The alloy also features good hot formability, but it needs high
forces thanks to its inherent strength at high temperatures. Its
hot-forming characteristics are similar to Inconel Alloy 625. The
hot forming or forging temperature range is 1850° F. to 2200° F
(1010/1205ºC). Light working can be done, however, at temperatures
as low as 1700° (925ºC).
Alloy 617 requires sharp cutting tools that have positive rake
angles to minimize work hardening during machining. The cutting
feed and depth of cuts, however, need to be sufficient to prevent
burnishing the workpiece’s surface. Cobalt roughers should be used
as well. Inspecting tooling frequently maximizes quality when
machining Inconel Alloy 617.
