A-1 Wire Tech, Inc.
INCONEL® ALLOY 718

A precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy containing also significant amounts of iron, niobium, and molybdenum along with lesser amounts of aluminum and titanium. It combines corrosion resistance and high strength with outstanding weldability including resistance to postweld cracking. The alloy has excellent creep-rupture strength at temperatures to 1300ºF (700ºC). Used in gas turbines, rocket motors, spacecraft, nuclear reactors, pumps, and tooling. Standard product forms are round, flats, extruded section, pipe, tube, forging stock, plate, sheet, strip and wire.
