Tensile testing of Inconel 600 wire at high temperatures

Abstract

This paper presents how to determine some mechanical properties of wires subjected to tensile testing. Additional equipment was added to an existing tensile testing machine for wires at high temperatures. A tensile testing procedure for wires at high temperature is described. Tensile tests of Inconel 600 wire were conducted at 700, 800 and 900 °C. The ultimate strength, the yield strength and the percentage elongation after fracture are determined. Analysis of the gathered results is done.

Experimental research on mechanical, material, and metallurgical properties of Inconel 600: Application in elevated temperature environment

“…It also induces the compressive residual stress by enhancing the surface diffusion and passivation of Inconel 600. Kuzmanov et al [14] conducted tensile test of Inconel 600 wire at room and high temperatures (700 ºС, 800 ºС, and 900 ºС). It was observed a brittle behaviour of Inconel 600 at room temperature and ductile behavoiur of the material at high temperature.…”
