Spherical Inconel 718 Powder (UNS N07718) For Additive Manufacturing and Thermal Spary

Specifications

Datasheet

Mechanical Properties (Typical at Room Temperature):

• Tensile Strength: ~1370 MPa
• Yield Strength: ~1030 MPa
• Elongation at Break: ~12-25%
• Hardness (Rockwell C): ~30-40 HRC (depending on heat treatment)

Heat Treatment:

Spherical Inconel 718 powder components can undergo heat treatments for enhanced mechanical properties:

1. Solution Annealing: Typically performed at 980-1010°C, followed by rapid cooling.
2. Aging: Performed in stages, such as 720°C and 620°C, to precipitate strengthening phases (γ′ and γ″).

Advantages of CG Material's Spherical Inconel 718 Powder:

• Excellent Flowability: CG material provides powder to ensure excellent flow characteristics, crucial for 3D printing and powder bed fusion processes.
• High Packing Density: Spherical particles offer better packing density, leading to stronger, more uniform printed parts.
• Outstanding Corrosion and Oxidation Resistance: Ideal for applications in harsh chemical environments and high temperatures.
• Versatile Use: Can be processed by various methods such as additive manufacturing, thermal spraying, and powder metallurgy.

Handling and Safety:

• Inhalation Risk: Fine metal powders, including Inconel 718, can be hazardous if inhaled. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used when handling the powder.
• Storage: Store in a dry, controlled environment to prevent contamination and oxidation. The powder should be kept in airtight containers to ensure its quality is maintained.
