NICKEL ALLOYS
Inconel 718 | EN 2.4668
Description
Inconel 718 is an Nickel-Chromium alloy being precipitation hardenable and having high creep-rupture strength at high temperatures to about 700°C. It has higher strength than Inconel X-750 and better mechanical properties at lower temperatures than Nimonic 90 and Inconel X-750. It has exceptional weldability compared to the Nickel-base super alloys hardened by Aluminium and Titanium.
