Properties and Applications of Inconel 718 Alloy

As the European Union tries to reduce its dependence on Russian energy, the Russian president recently said Russia would try to shift its energy exports to the east, adding that there was no way for European countries to give up Russian gas immediately.

Russia supplies about 40 percent of the EU's gas, and western sanctions imposed over the conflict with Ukraine have complicated financing and logistical arrangements for existing agreements, hitting Russian energy exports, the report noted.  

Russia has been building closer ties with China and other Asian countries as the European Union debates whether to impose sanctions on Russian gas and oil and member states seek supplies from elsewhere, Reuters said.  

"So-called partners from unfriendly countries admit that they cannot survive without Russian energy, including gas," the Russian president said in a televised government meeting. There is no reasonable alternative to Russian gas in Europe right now."  

He also said Europe was driving up energy prices and destabilizing markets by talking about cutting off Russia's energy supplies. Russia, which produces about a tenth of the world's oil and a fifth of its natural gas, will need new infrastructure to increase energy supplies to Asia, he said.

He ordered Moscow to submit a plan by June 1, including "the expansion of transport infrastructure to countries in Africa, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region".  

He also sought to clarify the possibility of integrating two pipelines -- the Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok gas pipeline in the Far East and the "Power of Siberia" gas pipeline to China -- into Russia's unified gas supply system. In theory, connecting these routes to larger gas networks could allow Russia to divert gas from Europe to Asia.

Because of the ever-changing international situation, the supply and prices of international bulk Inconel 718 Alloy are still very uncertain.

What is Inconel 718 materials?

Inconel 718 alloys is a precipitation-hardening nickel-iron-based superalloy containing niobium and molybdenum. Its microstructure is austenite and has excellent comprehensive properties. It is one of the most widely used superalloys. The alloy has good comprehensive properties in the temperature range of -253 to 700 °C, the yield strength below 650 °C ranks first in the deformed superalloy, and has good fatigue resistance, radiation resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and good performance. Good processing performance and welding performance. It can manufacture various parts with complex shapes, and has been widely used in the above temperature range in aerospace, nuclear energy, petroleum industry and extrusion dies.

Why is Inconel 718 not easy to machine?

The reason behind this is that Inconel 718 has lower thermal conductivity and higher tensile strength among all three materials. No heat dissipation occurs in the shear zone, which reduces tool wear compared to the other two materials.

Fields of application for Inconel 718

Inconel718 nickel-based superalloy material has been used to make aero-engine turbine disks, rings, elastic elements, sealing elements and welded structural parts; make liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen rocket engines in turbine rotors and other components; make nuclear energy industrial applications. Various elastic elements and lattices; manufactures a wide range of parts for applications in the petroleum and chemical industries.

Aerospace engineering, rocket engines, thrust reversers, ships, chemical processing units, pressure vessels, pollution control systems and nuclear power production reactions, cryogenic storage vessels, high-strength bolts and hot extrusion tools, turbine engines, fasteners, fuel and exhaust system.

Inconel grades are suitable for use in the production of parts used in harsh environments, such as turbocharger rotors and seals, motor shafts for submersible electric pumps, steam generators, heat exchanger tubes, firearm silencer blast plates and machine guns, on aircraft Black box recorders, etc.

Recently, Russia's deputy prime minister said that the number of countries buying Russian oil is increasing, including Asian countries. Russia will use the "East Siberia-Pacific" pipeline system to increase exports to Asian countries and promote the diversification of oil output.  

He also said that Russian oil Inconel 718 Alloy are expected to continue to increase in the future.
