| Material | Inconel 718 |
| Product Datasheet | Inconel 718 Inconel 718 L718DE |
| General Information | Inconel 718 is a vacuum-melted, precipitation-hardened nickel-base alloy. It can be welded easily and excels in its resistance to strain-age cracking. It is also readily formable. Depending on choice of heat treatments, this alloy finds applications requiring either (1) high resistance to creep and stress rupture to 700 C or (2) high strength at cryogenic temperatures. It also has good oxidation resistance up to 980 C. |
