The pipes & tubes of Inconel 617 (UNS N06617) are fabricated using an alloy that consists of nickel, chromium, cobalt, and molybdenum which can be used when there is a need for high temperature and resistance to corrosion. The pipes & tubes are made following the ASTM B167, ASTM B517 and ASME SB167 specifications and provide great oxidation, creep, and mechanical stability up to 980°C (1800°F). Great oxidation and corrosion resistance due to the presence of a high percentage of nickel and chromium and great strength and durability at high-temperature applications due to a high percentage of cobalt and molybdenum. The pipes and tubes are widely used in the gas turbine, heat exchanger, chemical processing, aerospace and power generation industries. USA Piping Solution is a manufacturer and supplier of reliable quality and fast worldwide delivery of Pipes & Tubes, high quality Inconel 617 (UNS N06617) Pipes & Tubes in many sizes and specifications.
