Inconel 718, 2.4668, N07718, Nickel Alloy Spring Wire
Inconel 718, 2.4668, N07718, Nickel Alloy Spring Wire
Nickel-Chromium alloy being precipitation hardenable and having high creep-rupture strength at high temperatures to about 700°C (1290°F). It has higher strength than Inconel X-750 and better mechanical properties at lower temperatures than Nimonic 90 and Inconel X-750. Inconel 718 has exceptional weldability compared to the Nickel-base super alloys hardened by Aluminium and Titanium.
