What are Inconel 718 Plates?

Inconel 718 Plates are a nickel-chromium precipitation-hardenable alloy that possesses tensile, yield, and creep-rupture properties at temperatures of up to 1300°F (700°C). Originally developed for use in aerospace industries, these sheets possess a distinctive blend of corrosion resistance and strength. One of the trusted Inconel 718 Plates Suppliers, Meta Aerospace guarantees that all products conform to high-quality standards and specifications demanded by industries such as aerospace, marine, oil & gas, and power generation.

One of the primary strengths of Inconel 718 Plates is their inherent resistance to pitting and stress-corrosion cracking in reducing environments as well as oxidizing environments. Their strength and structure remain intact even under severe high-temperature, high-pressure conditions. Superior weldability of Inconel 718 compared to other superalloys is an additional advantage. This ensures it is a valuable material for complicated fabrication. With these features, Inconel 718 Plates are some of the most versatile, high-performance products on the market.

One of the leading stockists of Inconel 718 Plates, Meta Aerospace maintains a large stock to cater to the immediate demands of end-users from various industries. It offers sheets in various widths, lengths, and thicknesses, which can be cut to order according to project requirements. Inconel 718 Plates are also resistant to stress corrosion cracking by chlorides and maintain mechanical strength in very cold or hot conditions.

Uses and Applications Inconel 718 Plates?

The high tensile Inconel 718 Plates is used in various industries due to its better mechanical profile:

• In Aerospace, these sheets find application in engine parts, afterburners, and exhaust systems, for which resistance to heat and oxidation is critical.
• In thermal processing equipment, they are applied in furnace retorts, heat treat baskets, and radiant tubes because of their capacity to resist scaling at high temperatures.
• In Industry Chemical Processing, they are used in support grids of catalysts, incinerator bowls, and conveyor belts that are subjected to chemical corrosion.
• They are applied in gas turbine components, heat exchanger parts, and boiler liners in Power Generation, providing stability under cyclic heating and cooling.
• They offer protection in exhaust manifolds, sea water duty, and offshore installations where resistance to heat and corrosion is essential.
