Product Catalog
Executive 601 is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy designed for welding alloy 601 using TIG and MIG welding processes. The high alloy content of Executive 601 produces high strength weld material with corrosion and oxidation resistance similar to Inconel®601 base material. Executive 601 filler metal is produced using high quality raw materials and tightly controlled chemistry to provide top quality, exceptionally clean wires that deliver the results fabricators demand.
Application and Features
Used for GTAW welding of Inconel®601. It is recommended in applications over 2100°F (1150°C) or at lower temperatures involving exposure to hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide.
This wire is also suitable for laser welding and WAAM applications (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, aka Metal 3D printing).
