2023-11-09 15:22:44  Knowledge

Inconel 738 alloy is a high-temperature alloy with excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, mainly used in aerospace, chemical, and other fields. 


1. Basic Properties of Inconel 738 Alloy

Inconel 738 alloy is a solid solution-strengthened nickel-based high-temperature alloy that contains a large amount of Fe and Cr elements and has excellent oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. This alloy has good strength and plasticity at high temperatures and can work for a long time at high temperatures, with a maximum service temperature of up to 1300 ℃. In addition, Inconel 738 alloy also has good processing and welding properties, which can be used for various processing and forming operations to meet the needs of different products.


2. Preparation method of Inconel 738 alloy

The preparation methods of Inconel 738 alloy mainly include smelting, casting, heat treatment, and other processes:

Using a vacuum induction furnace or electric arc furnace for smelting, the alloy raw materials are melted, and impurities are removed to obtain high-quality parent alloys.


The parent alloy is cast to prepare ingots or castings.


Through the heat treatment process, the grain size and phase composition of the alloy are adjusted to improve Inconel 738 mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.


3. Application Fields of Inconel 738 Alloy
