What is the Important Step in the Production of Alloy 718

Since 2022, Russia-Ukraine geopolitical conflicts have intensified, and global energy prices have risen sharply, with international natural gas prices hitting historic highs. As the most important transitional energy source in the transition from fossil energy to non-fossil energy, the share of natural gas in primary energy has increased from 14.6% in 1965 to 24.7% in 2020.  The global gas price indices showed a unilateral downward trend from 2018, bottomed out in 2020, and remained low for a long time. However, since July 2020, the global gas prices have gradually fluctuated upward, and the impact of geopolitical events made the Dutch TTF gas price even hit record highs repeatedly.

An analyst of a securities company believes that the core catalyst of this round of global gas market lies in the lack of investment in upstream oil and gas resources caused by long-term low prices. Since 2020, although the epidemic has led to a decline in demand, the decline in supply has been faster, resulting in a large inventory consumption. In 2021, demand will recover faster than supply (the supply-side is less sensitive to prices, which will be reflected in investment).  

As the world's two largest gas Alloy 718 are also expected to change significantly.

In the aerospace or petrochemical industries, these important industries are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The trustworthy Inconel718 is always a frequently mentioned term. Indeed, in the process of using the popular Alloy 718, with the progress of industrial technology and the development of urban economy, this alloy material has been applied to more and more industries, playing an increasingly important role.

Several important steps in the production process of Alloy 718

1. Warm up

Cost-effective Alloy 718 workpieces require the most meticulous surface cleaning before and during heating to keep surfaces clean. Alloy 718 alloy will become very brittle if the heating environment contains phosphorus, lead or other low melting point metals. Impurities come from marking paint, chalk, etc. The sulfur content of fuel should be very low. For example, the impurity content of liquefied gas and natural gas will be less than 0.1%, the sulfur content of city gas should be less than 0.25 grams per cubic meter, and the content of petroleum gas will be less than 0.25 grams per cubic meter. Sulphur content below 0.5 percent is the best effect.

2. Grinding

The oxide near the weld of the cost-effective Alloy 718 alloy is more difficult to handle than the stainless steel, so at this time it is necessary to use a fine abrasive belt for grinding, before pickling in a mixed acid of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid, Also use sandpaper to remove oxides or use a salt bath for reasonable pretreatment.

3. Machining

Machining of reliable Alloy 718 must be carried out after solution treatment, and all aspects must be considered, especially the work hardening of the material, but it is very important that Alloy 718 is more suitable for low surface cutting.
