inconel 718 is a gamma prime strengthened alloy with excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, as well as cryogenic temperatures. suitable for temperatures upto around 1300°f. can be readily worked and age hardened.
excellent strength from -423°f to 1300°f (-253 °c to 705 °c). age hardenable and may be welded in fully aged condition, excellent oxidation resistance up to 1800°f (980 °c). typically sold in the solution annealed temper, but can be ordered aged, cold worked, or cold worked & aged.
because of its unique array of properties, alloy 718 is popular with a number of different critical industries and applications including:
gas turbine components
cryogenic storage tanks
jet engines
liquid fueled rocket motors and components
fasteners and instrumentation parts
nuclear fuel element spacers
hot extrusion tooling
down hole shafting and strength bolting
bestar steel is a supplier of alloy 718 in pipe, tube, sheet, plate, round bar, flat bar, forging stock, hexagon, wire, and extruded section.
