Alloy 718 Description

Alloy 718 is an age hardenablenickel-chromium alloy having high creep-rupture strength at high temperatures to about 1300°F (700°C). The age-hardenable alloy can be readily fabricated into complex parts. Its welding characteristics,especially its resistance to postweld cracking, are outstanding.

Alloy 718 can be cold rolled to achieve the temper properties required by specific customers and/or manufacturing requirements. Contact Ulbrich Wire for details.

Heat Treat Capabilities

Two heat treatments are generally utilized for Alloy 718 Solution anneal at 1700-1850°F followed by rapid cooling, usually in water, plus precipitation hardening at 1325°F for 8hours, furnace cool to 1150°F, hold at 1150°F
for a total aging time of 18 hours, followed by air cooling.

Solution anneal at 1900-1950°F followed by rapid cooling, usually in water, plus precipitation hardening at 1400°F for 10 hours, furnace cool to 1200°F, hold at 1200°F for a total aging time of 20 hours, followed by air cooling.

Additional Properties

Corrosion Resistance

Refer to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations.

Standard Wire Finishes

Extra Clean: (XC) Extra clean is also referred to as “bright annealed” or “bright annealed and cold rolled”

Grease (round wire only): Drawn in a heavy grease produces an “Ultra bright” finish for decorative applications

Soap (round wire only): Soap is used as a lubricant in the drawing process and is not removed. It acts as a lubricant during customer part forming operation.

A soap finish is available in tempered products.
Plated: Many plating options are available.
∗Special finishes are available: Contact Ulbrich Wire Sales with special finish and plating requests.
