Inconel 718 (L-PBF, Farsoon IN718, heat-treated)

Farsoon IN718 heat-treated is Farsoon's grade of the nickel superalloy Inconel 718 made by laser powder bed fusion and then heat-treated. As printed, it has a fine cellular structure with niobium segregation and Laves phase, columnar grains along the build direction and high residual stress, and parts are built on supports. Heat treatment, typically stress relief followed by solution annealing and two-step aging, relieves stress and precipitates the gamma double prime and gamma prime phases that strengthen the alloy, though some anisotropy can remain. Parts are used for gas turbine and rocket engine components, combustion hardware and heat exchangers, usually with machined functional surfaces. Every value on this page is read from Farsoon'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.
