Avoiding Timely and Expensive Problems
If you are in an industry that requires equipment to work in extreme heat environments— aerospace, military, chemical, petrochemical, nuclear, etc.—you probably use inconel for your parts and components. The various types of inconel are workhorse materials due to their weldability (718) while having high strength and toughness (625), corrosion (600) and oxidation (718) resistance. While they deliver high performance in environments that test most metals, this metal tests most machinery when forming it.
