Inconel 718 (UNS N07718 / W.Nr. 2.4668)
Inconel 718 (UNS N07718 / W.Nr. 2.4668) is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy also containing 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 post weld cracking. The alloy has excellent creep-rupture strength at temperatures to 700℃.
