Inconel 718 (SLM)

Verifiedmetal

Inconel 718 produced via selective laser melting (SLM) is a nickel-based superalloy manufactured through additive manufacturing, combining the exceptional high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance of conventional Inconel 718 with the design freedom and complexity capabilities of metal 3D printing. This material is increasingly adopted in aerospace, power generation, and oil & gas industries where engineers need intricate cooling channels, lightweight geometries, or rapid prototyping of high-performance components that would be difficult or impossible to machine from wrought stock. SLM Inconel 718 is valued for its ability to maintain structural integrity in aggressive thermal and corrosive environments while enabling near-net-shape manufacturing, though careful process control and post-processing (such as heat treatment) are critical to achieve consistent mechanical properties and eliminate porosity inherent to the additive process.

Industry-Specific

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
