Inconel 718 (UNS N07718) is the most widely used superalloy, accounting for approximately one-third of all superalloy production. IN718 has excellent strength, ductility, and toughness throughout the range -423 to 1300F. A major attribute of Inconel 718 is its processing versatility. It can be fabricated over a wide range of temperatures, forging reductions, and strain rates to produce microstructures and associated properties tailored for specific requirements.

Inco 718 is unique among nickel-base alloys because of its outstanding weldability and good resistance to strain-age cracking. The superior weldability characteristics are associated with the sluggish precipitation characteristics of the primary strengthening gamma-double-prime phase. Typical aerospace applications include compressor and turbine discs, buckets, spacers, and bolts for jet engines, liquid-rocket components involving cryogenic temperatures. Standard specifications include AMS 5596, AMS 5662 and more.
