Inconel 617 is a high-performance alloy used wherever standard fasteners cannot meet the corrosion, temperature, or strength envelope. TorqBolt manufactures the full Inconel 617 fastener range — bolts, nuts, screws, washers, studs, and custom forgings — under one ISO 9001:2015 quality system, with PED 2014/68/EU module-H qualification for pressure-equipment service.
Inconel 617 is specified in oil & gas wellhead components, refinery heat exchangers, petrochemical reactors, power-generation turbines, marine offshore platforms, and pharmaceutical / food-grade processing. Its corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and weldability make it the default for service conditions outside the carbon and standard-stainless envelope.
Inconel 617 fasteners are supplied with EN 10204 3.1 (mill cert) or 3.2 (third-party witnessed) material test reports as standard. Additional certification packages: NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 (sour service), NORSOK M-650 (subsea / topside), API 6A (wellhead), API 20E (subsea bolting), PED 2014/68/EU (pressure equipment). Third-party inspection by TUV, Lloyd's, BV, DNV, SGS, and Intertek arrangeable on order.
Stock items in standard Inconel 617 fastener sizes ship in 1–2 weeks; custom-manufactured items in 4–6 weeks subject to material availability. Diameters M6–M100 and 1/4"–4", lengths 10 mm–3000 mm covered in-house; oversize / non-standard sizes quoted to specification.
Inconel alloys are nickel-chromium-based superalloys engineered for service where standard stainless steels cannot survive. The Inconel family combines high-temperature strength (typically retained up to 700-1100°C depending on grade) with outstanding oxidation and chloride-pitting resistance.
The most widely specified grade is Inconel 718, an age-hardenable Ni-Cr-Fe-Mo-Nb composition strengthened by γ' (Ni₃Al,Ti) and γ'' (Ni₃Nb) precipitates after solution + double-age heat treatment per AMS 5662 / 5663. Inconel 625 is solid-solution strengthened by Mo+Nb, supplied in the as-annealed condition, and weldable without post-weld heat treatment. Inconel X-750 uses Ti+Al precipitation hardening for spring + bolt applications to 700°C. Inconel 600 / 601 are general-purpose grades for furnace and heat-exchanger fasteners.
Typical specifications: ASTM B637 (forged bar), AMS 5662/5663 (rod/bar), ASTM B446 (625 bar), DIN 17752/17754 (round/forged). NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 sour-service envelopes available on most grades when supplied in the correct heat-treat condition. PREN values for chloride pitting resistance typically exceed 50 across the Inconel range.
