Inconel 3D Printing: Superalloy for high-temperature use

Inconel is a superalloy that provides extraordinary strength and fatigue resistance at ultra-high temperatures. Metal 3D printing Inconel parts are often used in demanding environments and have a wide range of applications in the aerospace and petrochemical industries.

What types of Inconel alloys are optimal for 3D printing?

The Inconel 718 and Inconel 625 metal powders are the most often utilized Inconel alloys in additive manufacturing. Compared to Inconel 625, Inconel 718 has a greater nickel concentration of 50 - 55%. Additionally resistant to corrosion and capable of addressing chloride corrosion is Inconel 625. Inconel components made with 3D printing perform effectively in temperatures as high as 600 degrees or even higher than 1,000 degrees. Furthermore, in oxidizing and reducing situations, it is resistant to the corrosion of acid and alkali metals.
High strength at high temperatures
Extrem high-temperature resistance
Outstanding Biocompatibility
High tensile and elongation strength
Excellent fatigue properties and fracture toughness
Good antioxidant and anti-corrosion

Inconel 718
Working in extreme

Inconel 718 is the most commonly used supperalloy. In addition to nickel, it also contains other high-temperature elements like chromium and titanium.Even under extreme environmental conditions it can offer excellent running for a long time. Aerospace engine manufacturers find Inconel 718 to be the perfect high-temperature material since it is robust, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion. At 700°C, it still exhibits outstanding heat and fatigue resistance, which makes it especially well-suited for use in the manufacture of aerospace components.

Industrial applications: Aerospace, turbine engine, petrochemical, liquid fuel rocket
Max. building volume: 425*425*525mm

Inconel 625
Easy post-processing for bright surface

Inconel 625 is made by alloying nickel with molybdenum, chromium and niobium, producing a metal with an optimal combination of corrosion and creep resistance. This alloy can withstand a wide temperature range from cryogenic temperatures to approximately 1000°. Additionly, In 625 has good processing performance and can be used for welding, cutting, drilling and other processes in 3D printing post-processing. Additive manufacturing of nickel-based superalloy parts offers significant advantages over traditional manufacturing methods, including free-form design, reduced machining and post-processing steps, cost-effectiveness, and reduced material waste.
