Inconel 617 offers high temperature resistance and excellent oxidation resistance. The nickel alloy has excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and general corrosion under reducing and oxidizing conditions. It prevents carburization, spalling and aqueous corrosion. Alloy 617 is widely used in aerospace, land-based gas turbines, fossil fuel combustion, and as catalyst grid supports in acid treatment and power generation plants. The high nickel and chromium content makes the alloy resistant to a variety of reducing and oxidizing media. The aluminum combined with the chrome ensures oxidation resistance at high temperatures. The composition of alloy 617 contains large amounts of nickel, chromium and aluminum, which explains its resistance to oxidation and carburization at high tempe.
