ASTM B168	It includes both Inconel 600 and 601 Sheets & Plates used for high-temperature and corrosion-resistant applications.
ASTM B670	Mainly used for Inconel 718 Sheets and Plates. Used commonly in jet engines and high-strength applications.
ASTM B424	Is used as a standard for Inconel 825 Sheets and Plates. It’s usage is mainly in the chemical and marine applications.
ASME SB168, SB443, SB670, SB424	These are ASME equivalent for ASTM standards for pressure vessel applications.
AMS 5540, AMS 5599, AMS 5869	These are Aerospace Material Specifications standard used mainly in the aviation and defence industries.
EN 2.4816 / EN 2.4851 / EN 2.4856	Usually they are European Norm (EN) standards for different Inconel alloys, which are used to ensure producer’s compliance with European regulations
UNS N06600 / N06601 / N06625 / N07718 / N08825	Known as Unified Numbering System (UNS) these designations are standards for for different Inconel grades, specifying chemical composition and properties.

Inconel Sheets & Plates Manufacturing Process:

Typically, the manufacturing process of Inconel Sheets & Plates includes the following steps given below:

a. Selection of raw material:

Includes picking high-quality chromium, nickel, and other alloys such as iron, niobium, and molybdenum

b. Melting and formation of alloy:

The raw materials that are selected are then melted in an electric arc furnace (EAF) or vacuum induction melting (VIM) furnace. They are converted into a homogenous alloy.

c. Casting and Solidification:

The melted form of the alloy Inconel is cast into ingots, slabs, or billets through continuous or static casting methods.

d. Hot Rolling:

Typically, during manufacturing, cast slabs are heated to high temperatures and rolled in hot rolling mills. The primary objective for conducting this step is to reduce thickness while improving grain structure and mechanical properties.

e. Cold Rolling and Annealing:

To further reduce the thickness cold rolling is performed followed by annealing. This stage helps in the restoration of ductility and refinement of the microstructure.

f. Heat Treatment:

The Inconel Sheets and Plates then undergo solution annealing or precipitation hardening. This helps in enhancing strength and corrosion resistance. In this procedure methods such as air cooling or water quenching are used.

g. Pickling and surface finishing:

To eliminate surface oxides and scale from the Inconel Sheets and Plates undergo pickling or acid treatment. For provision of smooth finish processes like polishing, grinding, or coating may also be used.

h.Packaging and Dispatching:

After conducting quality testing of the Inconel Sheets and Plates they are finally packed using rotective coatings, wooden crates, and moisture-proof materials. Typically, they are used to avoid damage of Inconel Sheets and Plates during transportation.
