Alloy 600 wire is a nickel-chromium alloy that provides oxidation resistance at high temperatures. For example, Alloy 600 is used in heat treatment equipment, electronic components, aircraft engines, chemical processing piping and applications up to 2000 °F.

In addition, the wire is commonly used as a corrosion resistant alloy due to its resistance to various acids and bases. The alloy is also used in the field of furnaces and heat treatment because of its excellent oxidation and anti-fouling properties at 980 °C.

Other uses include: processes involving chlorination; treatment of water environments, stainless steel often fails due to cracks; nuclear reactors include steam generator boiling and main water piping systems; preheaters and turbo condensers, higher operating temperatures of approximately 450 ° C .
