Inconel 3D Printing
Inconel is a high strength, corrosion resistant nickel chromium superalloy
Inconel is a high strength, corrosion resistant nickel chromium superalloy ideal for parts that will experience extreme temperatures and mechanical loading. Final parts built in Inconel 718 receive stress relief application. Solution and aging per AMS 5663 is also available to increase tensile strength and hardness.
Primary Benefits
- Oxidation and corrosion resistance
- High performance tensile, fatigue, creep, and rupture strength
- Available in large format with part sizes up to 800 mm x 400 mm x 500 mm
