Designated as UNS N07718 or W.Nr. 2.4668, Inconel 718, also known as “Alloy 718”, is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy containing significant amount of iron, niobium, and molybdenum along with lesser amounts of aluminum and titanium. The titanium and niobium are added to overcome strain-age cracking problems during welding and weld repair. Inconel Alloy 718 combines corrosion resistance and high strength with outstanding weldability, including resistance to postweld cracking. The alloy has excellent creep-rupture strength at temperatures up to 1300°F[700°C]. The Inconel 718 is fabricated for gas turbines, rocket motors, spacecraft, nuclear reactors, pumps and other piping tools. Most commonly, it is used for fasteners and springs.
