Alloy 718 (Inconel® 718)

Nickel Chromium Alloy


Alloy 718 Nickel Alloy

Alloy 718 is a nickel-chromium alloy which can be readily fabricated and has outstanding welding characteristics, especially if resistance to post-weld cracking is required.



Fabrication

The ease in which Alloy 718 can be fabricated offers significant benefits to the customer in terms of economy and performance. The material provides a combination of high tensile, fatigue, rupture and creep strength making it an extremely versatile alloy. Alloy 718 is used in applications ranging from simple fasteners to cryogenic tanks and rocket fuel cylinders.



Corrosion Resistance

Alloy 718 has versatile resistance to corrosion which is outstanding, even in severely corrosive environments. The material also shows superior resistance to high-temperature effects such as oxidation and carburization. It is an excellent choice for seawater and sour gas applications.



Typical Applications

Commercial applications for this engineering material include:

  • Wellhead components
  • Safety valves
  • Downhole equipment
  • Containment vessels
  • Cryogenic tankage
  • Gas turbine engines
  • Components for liquid fuelled rockets
