### **Product Datasheet: Alloy X / Inconel® HX Plate (UNS N06002)** **Alloy X** (commercially known as **Inconel® HX** and standardized as **UNS N06002**) is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum superalloy renowned for its exceptional strength and resistance to oxidation, carburization, and a wide range of corrosive atmospheres at temperatures up to 1200°C (2200°F). The **plate** product form of Inconel HX is designed for heavy-duty structural and containment applications in extreme environments. It offers excellent fabricability, including forming and welding capabilities, making it a prime choice for constructing furnace components, reformer systems, and other critical high-temperature equipment where sheet metal is insufficient. --- ### **1. Chemical Composition** The typical chemical composition of Inconel HX (UNS N06002) plate is as follows (balance is Nickel): | Element | Content (%) | | :--- | :--- | | **Nickel (Ni)** | Balance | | **Chromium (Cr)** | 20.5 - 23.0 | | **Iron (Fe)** | 17.0 - 20.0 | | **Molybdenum (Mo)** | 8.0 - 10.0 | | **Cobalt (Co)** | 0.5 - 2.5 | | **Tungsten (W)** | 0.2 - 1.0 | | **Carbon (C)** | 0.05 - 0.15 | | **Manganese (Mn)** | ≤ 1.00 | | **Silicon (Si)** | ≤ 1.00 | | **Phosphorus (P)** | ≤ 0.040 | | **Sulfur (S)** | ≤ 0.030 | | **Boron (B)** | ≤ 0.010 | * **Key Role of Elements:** * **Ni (Nickel):** Provides the austenitic matrix, offering inherent corrosion resistance and long-term microstructural stability at high temperatures. * **Cr (Chromium):** Confers outstanding resistance to oxidation (scaling) and sulfidation. * **Mo & W (Molybdenum & Tungsten):** Act as potent solid-solution strengtheners, providing high-temperature creep strength and tensile strength. * **C (Carbon):** Enhances elevated temperature strength. --- ### **2. Physical Properties** Typical physical properties for Inconel HX plate at room temperature. | Property | Metric Value | Imperial Value | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Density** | 8.22 g/cm³ | 0.297 lb/in³ | | **Melting Point** | 1260 - 1355 °C | 2300 - 2475 °F | | **Specific Heat (20°C)** | 455 J/kg·K | 0.109 Btu/lb·°F | | **Thermal Conductivity (20°C)** | 11.9 W/m·K | 82.7 Btu·in/hr·ft²·°F | | **Mean Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (20-1000°C)** | 14.0 μm/m·°C | 7.8 x10⁻⁶ in/in·°F | | **Modulus of Elasticity** | 205 GPa | 29.7 x 10⁶ psi | --- ### **3. Mechanical Properties (Typical for Annealed Plate)** Mechanical properties are typically specified for material in the annealed condition. Plate products generally exhibit good strength and ductility. | Property | Typical Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Tensile Strength** | ≥ 655 MPa (95 ksi) | | **Yield Strength (0.2% Offset)** | ≥ 310 MPa (45 ksi) | | **Elongation (in 50mm / 2in)** | ≥ 40% | * **High-Temperature Performance:** Alloy X plate maintains a significant portion of its room-temperature strength at elevated temperatures. It exhibits excellent resistance to creep and thermal fatigue, making it suitable for load-bearing structural applications in high-temperature furnaces and reactors. --- ### **4.
