INCONEL 686 is a nickel chromium molybdenum tungsten alloy developed for aggressive chemical environments. Its highly alloyed matrix supports resistance to general attack and localized corrosion, including pitting and crevice damage. Low carbon helps maintain corrosion performance around welded joints. The alloy is used in pollution-control and chemical equipment, where the exact fluid composition, temperature and fabrication condition guide material selection.

Chemical composition

Element Weight percent Element Weight percent
Ni Balance Cr 19–23
Mo 15–17 W 3.0–4.4

Mechanical properties

Representative room-temperature mechanical properties, Special Metals Table 5. The table identifies product dimensions but does not give a separate heat-treatment cycle for each row.

Product / size mm 0.2% yield MPa Tensile MPa Elongation %
Plate, 12.7 thick 364 722 71
Plate, 6.35 thick 399 733 68
Sheet, 3.18 thick 421 803 59
Sheet, 1.57 thick 408 848 59
Rod, 38.1 diameter 359 810 56

The manufacturer normally anneals 686 at 1180–1200°C with rapid cooling. This general recommendation is not stated as the exact cycle behind each table row.

Application areas

  • Chemical processing plant equipment
  • Flue-gas pollution control systems
  • Pulp and paper manufacturing equipment
  • Waste-management equipment exposed to aggressive media
