Nickel Alloy 617 | High-Temperature Nickel-Chromium-Cobalt-Molybdenum Alloy for Power & Industrial Applications

Nickel Alloy 617, also known as Ni-Cr-Co-Mo Alloy 617, is a premium high-temperature alloy engineered for extreme industrial environments. With outstanding resistance to oxidation, carburization, and creep deformation, Alloy 617 maintains mechanical strength and structural integrity at temperatures up to 1100°F (593°C). Its unique chemical composition and thermal stability make it an ideal material for power generation turbines, aerospace components, heat exchangers, and chemical processing equipment. Compared with other nickel alloys such as Inconel 625 and Incoloy 800H, Alloy 617 delivers superior creep-rupture strength and thermal oxidation resistance, ensuring long-term performance under harsh operating conditions.

Nickel Alloy 617 | High-Temperature Nickel-Chromium-Cobalt-Molybdenum Alloy

 

The high nickel and chromium contents make the alloy resistant to a variety of both reducing and oxidizing media. The aluminum, in conjunction with the chromium, provides oxidation resistance at high temperatures. Solid-solution strengthening is imparted by the cobalt and molybdenum.

The combination of high strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures over 1800°F (980°C) makes INCONEL alloy 617 an attractive material for such components as ducting, combustion cans, and transition liners in both aircraft and land-based gas turbines. Because of its resistance to high-temperature corrosion, the alloy is used for catalyst-grid supports in the production of nitric acid, for heat-treating baskets, and for reduction boats in the refining of molybdenum. INCONEL alloy 617 also offers attractive properties for components of power-generating plants, both fossil-fueled and nuclear.

Property values are given in both United States customary units and the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit of stress is the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to newton per square meter. The approximate relationship between the pascal and the pound per square inch (psi) is 1 Pa = 0.0001450 psi, or 1 psi = 6895 Pa.
