Alloy 601 is a nickel-chromium alloy that offers outstanding oxidation resistance up to 1204°C
Alloy 601 alloy develops a tightly adherent oxide scale which resists spalling even under severe thermal cycling. This alloy has good high temperature strength and retains its ductility after long service exposure, with good corrosion resistance under oxidising conditions.

Alloy 601 should be welded with a matching composition filler wire. In addition, the weld products developed for RA 602 CA® can provide a stronger weld with higher oxidation resistant than alloy 601.
