Composition:

• Nickel (Ni): 50-55%
• Chromium (Cr): 17-21%
• Molybdenum (Mo): 2.8-3.3%
• Iron (Fe): Balance
• Niobium (Nb) + Tantalum (Ta): 4.75-5.5%
• Titanium (Ti): 0.65-1.15%
• Aluminum (Al): 0.2-0.8%
• Along with minor amounts of other elements like Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Silicon (Si), Carbon (C), and Phosphorus (P).

Properties:

• High Yield Strength: Inconel 718 can withstand high stress and strain levels without deforming, making it ideal for high-load applications.
• Corrosion Resistance: Offers excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments and media, including sea water, acid, and alkali.
• Creep-rupture Strength: Maintains strength over long periods under high-temperature stress.
• Temperature Resistance: Retains mechanical properties from cryogenic temperatures up to 700°C (1300°F).

Applications:

• Aerospace: For engine parts, fasteners, and airframe components due to its high temperature strength and oxidation resistance.
• Oil & Gas Industry: For high-pressure valves, hangers, wellhead components, and down-hole shafting, where corrosion resistance is critical.
• Power Generation: For gas turbine components, including rings, casings, and various engine parts.

Custom Forging Details:

• Custom Shapes: Sleeves can be custom-forged to specific shapes and sizes based on application requirements.
• Manufacturing Process: The forging process involves heating the Inconel 718 material above its recrystallization temperature and then using mechanical forces to shape it. This process enhances the material's mechanical properties through controlled deformation.
• Surface Treatment: Depending on the application, the surface of forging sleeves can be treated or coated to enhance corrosion resistance or facilitate installation.
• Quality Assurance: Forging of Inconel 718 requires strict adherence to quality standards and specifications to ensure the material's integrity and performance in critical applications. This often includes stringent testing such as ultrasonic testing, X-ray inspections, and mechanical property verification.
