What is Inconel718 ? Inconel 718 a superalloy made of nickel. IN718 has a unique alloy composition that gives it good comprehensive properties. This includes high strength, creep resistance, fatigue resistance, and excellent oxidation resistivity, especially at 650 degrees.

In718 is used for many parts of modern aero engines such as blades and brakes, turbine discs, blades and shafts. Seals, supports, pipes and fasteners are also made from it.
In718 is also suitable for use in the nuclear reactor (heat exchanging pipe), sub (propeller blades, quick disengage device, auxiliary propel motor), chemical (vessels), pumps, valves pipe), power (industrialgas turbine), the oil & gas industry (underground pipes, wellhead hardware and torch arm).

Is Inconel Stronger Than Steel?
Each type of stainless steel is different. Different stainless steel varieties have different tensile strength, operating temperatures and resistance to certain corrosion agents. Grade 316 stainless is more resistant to chloride than 304 stainless, but also has a higher average price.

The tensile strengths of metals can be affected by certain handling and molding procedures. The Inconel 625 “rolled” bar has a yield strength of 120-160ksi (827-1103MPa), while the “solution treated” bar has a yield strength of 103-135 ksi (714-896MPa).
Both tensile strengths classes are presented in ranges and not in particular numbers. This is because the strength can vary depending on the composition of the ingredients. Even small changes in iron, carbon or nickel content can greatly alter the strength.

Inconel625 has higher tensile strengths than class304 stainless steel, and is more able to keep this strength at higher temperatures.

Additionally, Inconel’s melting point is lower than that 304 stainless steel. However, it has a lower operating temperature limit. Inconel is stronger at high temperatures than stainless steel and more resistant to scaling and oxidation.

However, stainless is more resistant than Inconel to some chemicals such as sulfuric acids. It is up to the application that you choose which of these metal alloys.

Inconel alloys are more suitable for heat treatment applications and high-temperature processes. The same goes for stainless steel alloys, which are often suitable for aseptic manufacturing and medical applications (or any other application that involves corrosion).
