Alloy 718 API

Alloy 718 (UNS N07718) is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant nickel chromium material that offers high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in H2S and CO2 environments.  718 can be used in high temperatures as it has high temp de-rating factors and maintains strength at elevated temperatures.  Several conditions of 718 API are available at vSM. We offer the NACE/API 6ACRA versions at 120 ksi min yield as well as the 150 ksi high strength version.  Both tempers are suitable for sour service and can be used for pressure containing and pressure controlling equipment in corrosive environments. Typical applications include packers, safety valves, pumps, hangers, connectors, and fasteners.
