Specification :

Inconel® 601 is a general purpose engineering material for
applications that require resistance to heat and corrosion.
  The outstanding characteristic of Inconel® alloy 601 is
its resistance to high temperature oxidation.  The alloy
also has good resistance to aqueous corrosion, has high
mechanical strength, and is readily formed, machined and
welded.
The composition is a face-centered-cubic solid solution
with a high degree of metallurgical stability.  The alloy's
nickel base, in conjunction with a substantial chromium
content, provides resistance to many corrosive media and
high temperature environments.  Oxidation resistance is
further enhanced by the aluminum content.
The properties of Inconel® 601 make it a material of broad
utility in such fields as thermal processing, chemical
processing, pollution control, aerospace, and power
generation.
