What is Inconel 718 used for?

A recent poll in Britain found that public support for sanctions against Russia is falling as fuel and prices rise.  

The proportion of people willing to accept higher fuel prices as a result of western sanctions against Russia fell 14 percentage points to 36% from 50% in March, according to a survey conducted for the Telegraph by consultancy Redfield & Wilton Strategies.  

Global energy and fuel prices have soared since the start of the year and remain high because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and uncertainty over Russian supplies.  

The survey also found that 54% of people believe their own financial situation has worsened in the past year, up 12 percentage points from 42% two months ago. Sixty-two percent think things will get worse in the year ahead. Less than a third of respondents said they had received a pay rise to keep up with inflation, with two-thirds of those saying it was not enough to keep up with rising living costs.  

The figures suggest that public concern about the conflict with Ukraine is now likely to be overtaken by financial worries.  

Separately, the UK's consumer price index rose 7 percent this month from a year earlier, the highest since March 1992, according to figures released recently by the Office for National Statistics. In addition, a separate report released a few days ago by the Centre for Economics and Business Research said that real household disposable income in the UK will fall by 3% in 2022, equivalent to a loss of £2,320 per household, which would lead to the biggest drop in living standards since the 1950s. That is mainly because wages aren't keeping up with rising energy and fuel costs.  

The prices of other commodities like the In718 powder are also expected to be influenced.

What is Inconel 718
Inconel 718 or In718 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy resistant to various corrosion conditions, pitting, and crevice corrosion.
Inconel 718 superalloy has been used in aeroengines for half a century. In718 has become the most widely used nickel-based superalloy in the history of aero engines since it was invented in the United States in the early 1960s in The INCO Huntington Alloy (now Special Metals Co.) and used in turbine parts manufacturing.
 
Inconel 718 Key Properties
The unique alloy composition design of In718 gives it good comprehensive properties, such as high strength, creep resistance and fatigue life, good ductility, and excellent oxidation resistance. Especially below 650℃, its mechanical properties have good stability.

Inconel 718 Application
Many parts of modern aero engines, such as turbine discs, blades, brakes, shafts, stators, seals, supports, pipes, fasteners, etc., are made of In718. In addition, In718 is also used in nuclear reactors (heat exchanger pipe), sub (propeller blades, quick disconnect device, auxiliary propulsion motor), chemical (vessels, pumps, valves, pipe), power (industrial gas turbine), the oil and gas industry (underground pipelines, wellhead hardware, torch arm).

What is Superalloy
Superalloy refers to a kind of metal material based on iron, nickel, and cobalt, which can work for a long time at high temperatures above 600℃ and under certain stress. 
It has high high-temperature strength, good oxidation and corrosion resistance, good fatigue performance, fracture toughness, and other comprehensive properties. Superalloy with a single austenite structure has good stability and reliability at various temperatures.  Superalloys are widely used in aviation, aerospace, petroleum, chemical, and ship.
 
According to the matrix elements, superalloys are divided into iron base, nickel base, cobalt base, and other superalloys. The use temperature of iron base superalloy can only reach 750-780℃ in general. For heat-resistant parts used at higher temperatures, people use nickel base and refractory metal-based alloy. Nickel-based superalloys play a very important role in the whole field of superalloys. They are widely used to manufacture the hottest parts of aviation jet engines and various industrial gas turbines.

The development of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will continue to dominate the commodity prices such as the In718 powder in the future. If the conflict eases or cools, Russia and Ukraine go back to negotiate, commodity prices would fall. However, if the situation between Russia and Ukraine deteriorates further, or evolves into a full-scale war, the price of the In718 powder is predicted to see further improvement over the coming days.
