MET Inconel 718 is a high-strength,
corrosion-resistant nickel chromium material used in a wide temperature range
from cryogenic to high temperature applications. The age-hardenable alloy can
be readily fabricated, even into complex parts. Its welding characteristics,
especially its resistance to post-weld cracking, are outstanding.
The ease
and economy with which MET IN718 can be fabricated, combined with good
tensile, fatigue, creep, and rupture strength, have resulted in its use in a
wide range of applications. Examples of these are components for liquid fueled
rockets, rings, casings and various formed sheet metal parts for aircraft and land-based
gas turbine engines, and cryogenic tankage. It is also used for fasteners and
instrumentation parts.
