But i’m currently assessing various steel alloys for a project that requires durability at elevated temperatures, around 600°C… Specifically, I’m looking at how different compositions impact mechanical properties under thermal stress. Anyone have insights on which alloys perform best in these conditions?
, I totally get your frustration — 600°C is no joke! From my experience, 310 stainless steel holds up pretty well under those conditions, but you might want to consider getting some data on Inconel alloys if you’re really pushing the limits… Have you looked into any specific compositions yet, or are you still in the research phase?
When working with high temperatures like 600°C, I’ve found that Inconel 625 offers excellent oxidation resistance and maintains its strength quite well. Just keep in mind that it can be pricey. Have you also looked into nickel-based alloys?
