An Inconel 600 slip-on flange is a flange that slides over the pipe and is fillet-welded inside and outside, made from Inconel 600 to ASTM B564. Choose a slip-on flange for lower-pressure lines where easy alignment and lower cost matter more than fatigue strength. It needs less precise pipe cutting than a weld neck.

When to Choose a Slip-on Flange
Choose a slip-on flange for lower-pressure lines where easy alignment and lower cost matter more than fatigue strength. It needs less precise pipe cutting than a weld neck.
- Two fillet welds: one at the hub, one inside the bore
- Lower fatigue life than a weld neck in cyclic service
- Available with a hub or as a plate (hubless) design

Inconel 600 Slip-on Flange: Why 600 for slip-on flanges
Choose a slip-on flange for lower-pressure lines where easy alignment and lower cost matter more than fatigue strength. It needs less precise pipe cutting than a weld neck. In Inconel 600, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy flanges are used where acids, chlorides or heat defeat stainless. Inconel 600 is picked for high-temperature oxidation, caustic and nuclear service. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Furnaces & heat treating — Muffles, retorts and radiant tubes. |
| B16.5 material group | 3.5 |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs such as Inconel 600 from ASTM B166, as the project specifies |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiCr-3 (AWS A5.14) |

Inconel 600 Slip-on Flange — questions buyers ask
Slip-on or weld neck — which is stronger?
The weld neck. A slip-on flange is fine for moderate pressure and temperature, but in cyclic or severe service engineers specify weld neck flanges.
What pressure rating does a Inconel 600 slip-on flange have?
It depends on class and temperature. Inconel 600 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 3.5; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can Inconel 600 slip-on flanges be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Inconel 600 slip-on flanges?
The material is ASTM B564; dimensions follow ASME B16.5 · EN 1092-1. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Inconel 600 slip-on flange?
The alloy price, the size and pressure class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
