Velo3D Inconel 718 (HIP) is Velo3D's grade of the nickel superalloy Inconel 718, printed by laser powder bed fusion and then hot isostatically pressed. As printed, the alloy has fine columnar grains along the build direction, niobium-rich segregation with Laves phase between dendrites, residual stress and some internal porosity. Hot isostatic pressing closes internal pores, dissolves much of the segregation and partly recrystallizes the grains, which reduces anisotropy and improves fatigue life. Solution treatment and aging are still needed for full strength, and critical surfaces are machined. Typical parts are gas turbine and rocket engine hardware such as manifolds, injectors, combustor components and brackets. Every value on this page is read from Velo3D'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.
