Alloy 718 is a precipitation hardened nickel-chromium alloy with additions of niobium, molybdenum, aluminium and titanium for improved corrosion resistance combined with extremely high strength and excellent weldability, including resistance to cracking after welding. For aerospace applications (AMS 5662/5663) Alloy 718 has excellent creep rupture strength at temperatures up to 700 °C. Alloy 718 achieves its strength through a precipitation hardening heat treatment and can be supplied in the annealed condition (AMS 5662) for ease of fabrication, requiring later heat treatment to develop full strength, or in the fully precipitation strengthened condition (AMS 5663).
Though originally developed for aerospace applications the unique combination of strength and corrosion resistance of alloy 718 made it candidate for applications in the oil and gas sector. As well environments became more severe stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement became a challenge the chemistry and microstructure of alloy 718 was optimised to offer the greatest resistance and distinguishes today’s oil field grade (API 6A) from aerospace grades. For oil and gas applications alloy 718 is precipitation treated to meet the API 6A and NACE MR0175 requirements.
With different specification and heat treatment procedures resulting in optimised properties for the industry sector it is important to understand which specification is required.
