Properties and Applications of Inconel 718 Alloy

The World Bank expects global economic growth to slow significantly, from 5.5% in 2021 to 4.1% in 2022 and further to 3.2% in 2023. Growth in East Asia and the Pacific is expected to slow to 5.1 percent in 2022, reflecting the impact of China's economic slowdown, the report said. China's economic growth is expected to fall to 5.1% in 2022, close to potential growth, due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Chinese government's tightening of regulations in certain sectors of the economy. The report said that the rapid spread of the Omicron variant means that the new crown epidemic is likely to continue to disrupt economic activity in the near future. In addition, decelerating growth in major economies, including the United States and China, will depress external demand in emerging markets and developing economies.
Slow economic growth has a huge impact on Inconel 718 Alloy.

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.

Southern Copper Corp (SCCO.N) recently said its Peruvian mine remained closed after a six-week standoff with protesters and blamed the Peruvian government for failing to intervene in the safety of its 1,300 workers and their families.  

The company said in a statement that a recent agreement to end protests at the Cuajone mine required the company to withdraw complaints against protest leaders because railways transporting minerals and supplies remained blocked. Production has been suspended since the end of February.  

Peru's Energy Ministry said in a separate statement that it had also reached an agreement with Southern Copper to start talks to find common ground with local communities.  

"If we shut down for a year, the government will stop receiving more than 3.1 billion soles ($830 million) in taxes and royalties, and 8,000 direct and indirect jobs will be lost. This is what we want to avoid, "Southern Copper added in the statement.

Peru has faced a wave of protests from indigenous communities, who accuse mining companies of not providing enough jobs and funding to poor local residents.  

Central bank officials said last week that protests against copper mines such as MMG's Las Bambas and Southern Copper's Cuajone were dragging down the economy.  

Peru is the world's second-largest copper producer and mining is an important source of tax revenue for the country. It is estimated that the supply and prices of the Inconel 718 Alloy will be influenced by that.
