IN718
IN718, a nickel-based superalloy, boasts high temperature corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and high temperature strength, making it ideal for aerospace, gas turbine engines, and industrial applications. Composed of nickel, chromium, and niobium, its unique blend of elements provides durability in extreme environments. Additional post-processing steps, like solution annealing and precipitation hardening, refine its microstructure, bolstering mechanical properties for reliable performance in challenging conditions.
- Good tensile, fatigue, creep and rupture strength at temperatures up to 700°C
- Parts are easily precipitation hardened
- Parts can be machined, spark-eroded, welded, micro shot-peened, polished and coated in both as-built and age-hardened states
- Gas turbine components
- Instrumentation parts
- Power industry parts
- Process industry parts
