Inconel 617 (UNS N06617 / W.Nr. 2.4663) bolts are high-performance fasteners manufactured from nickel-based solid-solution-strengthened alloys. With excellent high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and high strength, they serve as critical connectors in extreme environments. Below is the core information:

Inconel 617 Bolts (UNS N06617)
Chemical Composition (%) Ni ≥ 44.5 Cr: 20.0-24.0
Mo: 8.0-10 Fe ≤ 3.0
Mn ≤ 1.0 C: 0.05-0.15
Si ≤ 1.0 Al: 0.8-1.5
Ti ≤ 0.6 Co: 10.0-15.0
Melting Point (℃) 1330-1380
Density (g/cm³) 8.4
Application Areas Inconel 617 is regarded as a premier material for offshore oil and gas extraction equipment, such as offshore pipelines. Using Inconel 617 in high-speed rotating components like aero-engines and gas turbines significantly enhances fatigue resistance and high-temperature performance, ensuring long-term stable operation.

Parameters:

  • Category: Hexagon Bolt
  • Head Type: External Hexagon Thread
  • Tolerance: 6G
  • Material: Inconel 617
  • Performance Grade: 8.8
  • Thread Specification: M6 ~ M100
  • Across Flats (Head): 10-120 (mm)
  • Head Thickness: 6.6-60 (mm)
  • Total Length: 30 ~ 800 (mm)

1. Material Characteristics

  • Chemical Composition (Typical Values):
    • Nickel (Ni) ≥ 44.5%, Chromium (Cr) 20-24%, Cobalt (Co) 10-15%, Molybdenum (Mo) 8-10%, Aluminum (Al) 0.8-1.5%, Iron (Fe) ≤ 3.0%, Carbon (C) 0.05-0.15%.
  • Strengthening Mechanism: Solid-solution strengthening. The formation of a complex oxide film through high nickel, chromium, cobalt, and molybdenum content enhances high-temperature and corrosion resistance.
  • High-Temperature Performance: Operating temperature can reach 1100°C, with short-term tolerance up to 1150°C. It maintains high strength and creep resistance at elevated temperatures.

2. Core Advantages

  1. High-Temperature Resistance
    • Maintains high tensile strength (≥ 769 MPa) and fatigue resistance above 700°C, suitable for long-term high-temperature load-bearing.
  2. Corrosion Resistance
    • Resistant to oxidizing acids (nitric acid, sulfuric acid), chlorides, seawater, and sulfur-containing environments. Particularly resistant to sulfide corrosion, making it suitable for coal-fired power plants and chemical equipment.
  3. Machinability and Weldability
    • Can be formed via hot forging and hot rolling. TIG or MIG welding is recommended using ENiCrMo-3 filler wire, with no post-weld heat treatment required.

3. Application Areas

  • Aerospace: Turbine engine combustion chamber bolts, combustion tank fasteners.
  • Energy Industry: Gas turbine transition piece bolts, high-temperature heat exchanger bolts for nuclear high-temperature gas-cooled reactors.
  • Chemical & Petrochemical: Nitric acid production catalyst support bolts, high-temperature reactor flange bolts.
  • Heat Treatment: High-temperature furnace muffle tank and radiant tube connection bolts.
  • Nuclear Industry: High-temperature components for nuclear reactors (e.g., helium/helium medium heat exchanger bolts).

4. Standards and Certifications

  • International Standards:
    • ASTM B166 (Bar), ASTM F467 (Bolts), ISO 4014 (Hexagon Bolts), DIN 931 (DIN Standard Bolts).
  • Certifications:
    • PED Certification (Pressure Equipment Directive), EN 10204 3.1/3.2 Material Certificates, complies with NACE MR0175 standard for sulfide stress cracking resistance.

5. Manufacturing Process

  • Raw Materials: Produced via Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) + Electroslag Remelting (ESR) to ensure high purity and uniformity.
  • Forming Methods:
    • Hot Forging: Heated to 1050-1150°C to avoid grain coarsening.
    • Cold Working: Solution treatment (1150-1200°C) is required after cold drawing or rolling to restore plasticity.
  • Surface Treatment: Options include nickel plating and PTFE coating to enhance corrosion resistance and anti-galling properties.

6. Typical Mechanical Properties (Room Temperature)

Performance Indicator Typical Value
Tensile Strength ≥ 769 MPa
Yield Strength (0.2%) ≥ 318 MPa
Elongation ≥ 56%
Hardness (HB) 181

7. Global Grade Equivalents

Country / Region Standard Grade
USA UNS N06617
Europe EN / DIN NiCr22Co12Mo9 / 2.4663
China GB/T 15007 NS3106
Japan JIS G4902 NCF617

8. Precautions

  • Hot Working Control: Avoid dwelling in the sensitive temperature range of 900-1000°C to prevent grain coarsening.
  • Environmental Adaptability: Avoid contact with molten metals (e.g., lead, zinc) to prevent hot brittleness.
  • Installation Torque: Pre-tightening force must be precisely controlled to avoid stress concentration leading to cracking.

Summary

Inconel 617 bolts, leveraging their high nickel-chromium-cobalt-molybdenum alloy characteristics, excel in extreme high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive environments. They are critical materials in aerospace, energy, and chemical industries. Their stringent manufacturing processes and international certifications ensure long-term reliability, making them particularly suitable for cutting-edge applications such as Generation IV nuclear power systems and advanced gas turbines.
