Inconel 718

 

 

 

              Inconel 718 is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy containing significant amounts of iron, niobium, and molybdenum along with lesser amounts of aluminum and titanium. It combines corrosion resistance and high strength with outstanding weldability, including resistance to postweld cracking. The alloy has excellent creep-rupture strength at temperatures up to 700 oC (1300 oF). Used in gas turbines, rocket motors, spacecraft, nuclear reactors, pumps, and tooling.
