Nickel AlloysAMS 5662 (Alloy 718) Bar

A precipitation-hardenable nickel chromium grade with extremely high strength.

AMS 5662/Alloy 718 is a nickel-chromium based superalloy in the solution annealed condition. This is the softest of the alloy's "states" and can sometimes offer a machining benefit when used.

It is a high strength nickel-base alloy initially developed for the aerospace industry and is used in applications requiring high strength to approximately 1400°F (760°C) and oxidation resistance to approximately 1800°F (982°C).
