### **Product Introduction: Alloy X / Inconel HX Rod (UNS N06002)** **Alloy X**, commonly known by its trade name **Inconel® HX**, is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy registered under the unified numbering system as **UNS N06002**. It is a versatile, solid-solution strengthened, nickel-based superalloy renowned for its exceptional resistance to high temperatures, oxidation, and carburization. This alloy retains high strength over a wide temperature range, from cryogenic levels up to 1200°C (2200°F). It is also known for its excellent fabrication characteristics, including good formability and weldability. Inconel HX rod is a common product form used for manufacturing fasteners, valves, furnace components, and other high-temperature parts. --- ### **1.
