Inconel 718 is a nickel + cobalt-based superalloy renowned for its exceptional combination of high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties. It is one of the most widely used and well-known alloys in the Inconel family, finding applications in various industries, including Aerospace, Power Generation, and Oil & Gas. This superalloy known for its high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties. It is favoured in industries that require materials capable of withstanding challenging environments and demanding conditions.
Inconel 718 has excellent fatigue resistance, making it suitable for cyclic loading or mechanical vibration applications. It also demonstrates good creep resistance, which is the ability to resist deformation under long-term exposure to high temperatures and mechanical stress. Mechanical properties, including high tensile and yield strength, fatigue resistance, and good impact toughness, can be improved through specific parameter control provided by AMLSoft™ for ARCEMY® metal 3D printing systems.
When heat treated, Inconel 718 demonstrates impressive tensile strength, making WAM® produced valuable parts in Offshore and Marine applications, Chemical Processing plants, and hostile environments containing corrosive gases and acids.
