### **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.
