Nikon SLM Solutions IN718 is that maker's grade of the nickel superalloy Inconel 718 for laser powder bed fusion, here in the as-built condition. As built, it has a fine cellular-dendritic structure with columnar grains along the build direction, niobium segregation and Laves phase between cells, and little of the gamma double prime precipitation that strengthens the alloy. Parts carry high residual stress, anisotropy and rough surfaces. They need supports, stress relief and usually hot isostatic pressing with solution and aging. Finished parts serve gas turbine and rocket engine hardware such as combustor and injector components, brackets and heat exchangers. Every value on this page is read from Nikon SLM Solutions' 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.
