### **Product Datasheet: Alloy X / Inconel® HX Strip (UNS N06002)** **Alloy X** (commercially known as **Inconel® HX** and standardized as **UNS N06002**) is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum superalloy specifically designed for extreme high-temperature applications. This solid-solution strengthened alloy offers exceptional resistance to oxidation, carburization, and various corrosive environments while maintaining remarkable strength at temperatures up to 1200°C (2200°F). The **strip** product form of Inconel HX is characterized by its precise dimensional tolerances, excellent surface finish, and superior formability. Typically supplied in thinner gauges and narrower widths compared to sheet products, it is ideally suited for high-volume manufacturing processes requiring consistent material properties and reliable performance in severe service conditions. --- ### **1.
