Inconel 600:

The recommended temperature range of normal hot-working is 1600° to 2250°F (870° to 1230°C), heavy hot-working is 1900° to 2250°F (1040° to 1230°C), light hot-working is down to 1600°F (870°C). It is important to note that Inconel 600 has low ductility at temperatures between 1200° and 1600°F (650° and 870°C) and should not be worked in that range. High tensile properties can be developed in the material by careful working at temperatures below 1200°F (650°C).

Hot rolling is a metalworking process. Such as steel ingots or billets are difficult to deform and process at room temperature, they are generally heated to 1100 to 1250° for rolling, this rolling process is called hot rolling. Most steel materials are rolled by hot rolling, the steel delivered in the hot-rolled state has a certain degree of corrosion resistance due to the high temperature, so it can bestored in the open air. In addition, hot rolling is that it can destroy the casting structure of the ingot, refine the grain of the steel, eliminate structural defects, make the steel structure dense,  and improve the hardness of the hot rolled steel.

How Should Inconel 600 Plates Be Stored And Handled?

Answer:

Inconel 600 plates should be stored in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination and surface damage. Protective coatings or coverings can be used during storage and transportation to maintain the quality of the material. Handling should be done with care to avoid scratches or impacts that could compromise the surface finish, especially in applications where appearance and integrity are critical.
