Colibrium Additive Nickel 718 is a laser powder bed fusion grade of the precipitation-hardenable nickel superalloy Inconel 718, here in the aged condition. As printed, it has a fine cellular-dendritic structure with columnar grains along the build direction, niobium segregation, directional anisotropy and high residual stress, so parts need supports and stress relief before removal from the plate. Aging precipitates the gamma double prime and gamma prime phases that strengthen the alloy, often after solution treatment or hot isostatic pressing. Printed parts serve as turbine and rocket engine components, combustor hardware, manifolds and brackets loaded at elevated temperature. Every value on this page is read from Colibrium Additive's own material data sheet — quoted, cited and dated — and is the maker's statement about printed material, not a measurement by MatWorld; none has yet been reviewed by a person.
