Inconel – IN 718

Inconel – IN 718

IN 718, also known as Alloy 718, is a premium nickel-based superalloy widely used in industrial metal 3D printing for parts requiring extreme thermal resistance, mechanical durability, and corrosion protection. At LAYERX 3D PRINTING, we offer INCONEL 718 additive manufacturing services in Dubai, delivering high-strength 3D printed metal parts with unmatched quality and performance. This superalloy is engineered for high-temperature 3D printing, boasting a melting point of ~1,260°C—ideal for jet engines, turbine blades, and thermal barrier components.

IN 718 features exceptional tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and oxidation protection, making it suitable for load-bearing applications, extreme industrial environments, and critical aerospace parts. Its excellent dimensional stability, low thermal expansion, and high strength-to-weight ratio ensure reliable performance under extreme stress and heat. IN 718 is compatible with advanced additive manufacturing processes like Powder Bed Fusion (PBF), Laser Metal Fusion, and Direct Energy Deposition (DED), enabling the production of complex geometries with tight tolerances.

This high-performance alloy is also heat treatable, non-magnetic, and corrosion-resistant in marine, oil & gas, and chemical environments, making it one of the most versatile metal 3D printing materials for both rapid prototyping and end-use part production. Choose LAYERX for trusted, fast-turnaround Inconel printing services in the UAE, GCC, and global markets.
