Introduce

Inconel 718 is an age-hardenable Alloy-chromium alloy that combines corrosion resistance with high strength and good fabricability. It has high creep-rupture strength at temperatures up to 700 ℃. Its excellent relaxation resistance contributes to its application in springs.

Application

The alloy is used in jet engine and high-speed airframe parts such as wheels, buckets and spacers, and high-temperature bolts and fasteners. Inconel 718 is also used in the oil and gas drilling and production industries due to its high strength and resistance to chlorides, stress corrosion and sulfide stress cracking. Within these industries the alloy has been used for valves, pump shafts and wellhead components.

Chemical Composition

Mechanical Properties

Heat treatments

Heat treatments may be adjusted to give required properties. For the best combination of tensile and stress rupture properties, the following quite complex cycle is recommended :

1 hr at 1750/1800ºF (955/980ºC) and air cool, then 8 hrs at 1325ºF (720ºC) and cool at 100ºF/hr (56ºC/hr) to 1150ºF (620ºC), hold for 8 hrs and air cool.

For the best room temperature and cryogenic tensile properties, the cycle is :

1-2hrs at 1950ºF (1065ºC) and air cool, then 8 hrs at 1325ºF (720ºC) and cool at 100ºF/hr (56ºC/hr) to 1150ºF (620ºC), hold for 8 hrs and air cool.

Hot Forming

Because of its strength, INCONEL alloy 718 is more resistant than most materials to deformation during hot forming. It is readily hot-worked if sufficiently powerful equipment is used. Hot forming is performed in the 1650°-2050°F temperature range. In the last operation, the metal should be worked uniformly with a gradually decreasing temperature, finishing with some light reduction in the 1650°-1750°F range. This procedure is necessary to ensure notch ductility in stress-rupture applications when material has been annealed and aged.

Cold Forming

INCONEL alloy 718 can be cold-formed by standard procedures used for steel and stainless steel.

Machining

INCONEL alloy 718 can be readily machined, but its high strength and work-hardening characteristics must be considered in the selection and use of proper tool materials and design, operating speeds, and coolants. When machined in the age-hardened condition the alloy will have a slightly better finish; chip action on chipbreaker tools will be better. The use of annealed material, however, provides easier machining and longer tool life.

Super-Plastic Forming

This alloy, designated INCONEL alloy 718SPF, is available as annealed sheet in thicknesses from 0.02 to 0.08 inches (0.5 to 2.0 mm) in widths up to 36 inches (914 mm). The specification SAE AMS 5950 was developed to define the requirements for the alloy.

Spring steel wire is a versatile material that is utilized in the manufacture of a wide array of products. including automotive suspension springs, valve springs, and torsion springs. Beyond springs, paper clips and mattress supports. In addition, spring steel wire is essential in the creation of retaining rings and circlips that are utilized to secure components on shafts or within bores, and in making various types of fasteners. The durability and resilience of spring steel wire also make it a key material in the manufacturing of certain types of cable, fencing, and even some musical instruments, such as piano and guitar strings, where its ability to return to its original shape after deformation is highly valued.
