Alloy 718, often referred to as Inconel® 718, is precipitation hardened to give maximum strength and high creep-stress rupture strength. The alloy can be supplied in the annealed condition to enhance machinability followed by subsequent appropriate heat treatments. Capability tests are completed on test samples which have had the precipitation hardening process completed.
Alloy 718/Inconel® 718, demonstrates outstanding weldability including resistance to post-weld cracking.
The major applications are components for gas turbines, aircraft engines, fasteners and other high strength applications. Its available in round bar, wire and sheet and plate.
