Inconel® 718
(Alloy 718)
High Strength Superalloy
Inconel® 718 offers excellent yield strength, which works efficiently in low-temperature service.
Inconel® 718 is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-based alloy explicitly designed to offer exceptionally high creep-rupture, tensile and yield properties at temperatures up to 1300° F.
Benefits:
The alloy displays excellent weldability compared to the nickel-base superalloys hardened by aluminium and titanium. Uses of Inconel 718® include jet engine parts, high-speed airframe parts such as wheels, buckets, spacers, and high-temperature bolts and fasteners. The oil & gas sector utilises the alloy for wellhead components.
Additional Info:
The material is resistant to atmospheric, stress and fatigue corrosion, with good strength and ductility in sub-zero temperatures. Inconel® 718 is non-magnetic and spark resistant and presents a highly versatile high-performance alloy.
Specifications:
Inconel® 718 is covered by the following specifications - AMS 5596 (sheet, strip and plate), AMS 5662/5663 (bar and billet), AMS 5832 (wire), AMS5589/5590 (seamless tubular products) and NACE MRO175 (oil & gas). The UNS number for this material is NO7718.
