Exceptional Properties Nickel-Based Alloy Inconel 718 Wire For Nuclear Industry
Product Introduction
Inconel 718 wire is a high-performance nickel-based alloy that is widely used in the nuclear industry due to its exceptional properties. It is composed of nickel, chromium, iron, and other elements such as niobium and molybdenum, which provide it with outstanding strength, corrosion resistance, and stability in extreme environments.
The alloy's high strength, particularly at elevated temperatures, and its resistance to stress corrosion cracking and oxidation make it an ideal choice for these demanding applications. Additionally, Inconel 718 wire offers good welding and forming characteristics, allowing for the fabrication of complex shapes and structures required in nuclear facilities.
