The chemical composition, mechanical and other properties of the Inconel 600 plate shall be determined in accordance with the following methods:

• Chemical analysis: ASTM E38, ASTM E1473
• Tension requirements: ASTM E8
• Brinell hardness: ASTM E10
• Rockwell hardness: ASTM E18
• Hardness convention: ASTM E140
• Grain size: ASTM E112
• Rounding procedure: ASTM E29
• Spring back: ASTM F155

These test methods are not only applicable to Inconel 600 but also applicable to other nickel-chromium-iron alloys and nickel-chromium-cobalt-molybdenum alloys plates, sheets, and strips. The alloys include ASTM B168 UNS N06601(Inconel 601), N06603(Inconel 603), N06690(Inconel 690), N06693(Inconel 693), N06025, N06045, N06617(Inconel 617).
