Applications

Aerospace and Gas Turbines

Jet Engine Components: Inconel 718 is commonly used in jet engines, where its high strength, oxidation resistance, and thermal stability are crucial for turbine blades, rotors, discs, and exhaust nozzles. These components must withstand extreme temperatures and mechanical stresses, making Inconel 718 the ideal choice.

Turbine Blades and Vanes: In gas turbines and jet engines, the alloy is widely used for turbine blades and vanes exposed to high-temperature gases. Its ability to retain strength at elevated temperatures and resist oxidation makes it invaluable for aerospace and power generation applications.

Rocket Engines: Inconel 718 is used in rocket engines and other aerospace propulsion systems due to its ability to perform in extreme environments, including high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.

Power Generation

Gas Turbine Components: The alloy is used in gas turbine engines for the power generation industry. Turbine blades, compressor rotors, and casing components all benefit from the high-temperature strength and fatigue resistance of Inconel 718, which improves the performance and efficiency of turbines in power plants.

Steam Turbines: Inconel 718 is also used in steam turbines, where its ability to withstand high pressure, temperature, and mechanical stresses is crucial for efficient energy conversion in power plants.

Gas Turbine Exhaust Systems: The alloy is used for exhaust systems in gas turbines, where it is exposed to high temperatures and corrosive exhaust gases.

Chemical Processing

Chemical Reactors and Heat Exchangers: Inconel 718 is resistant to corrosion and oxidation, making it ideal for components in chemical processing industries that must operate in corrosive environments at high temperatures. It is used in heat exchangers, reactors, and valves handling acidic or alkaline materials.

Piping Systems: The alloy is used in high-pressure piping systems for industries such as chemical production, oil refining, and pharmaceuticals, where it resists degradation from corrosive chemicals.

Marine and Offshore Engineering

Subsea Equipment: Inconel 718 is widely used in subsea applications such as offshore oil rigs, marine propulsion systems, and deep-sea exploration equipment.
