M&H has been shaping the aerospace industry for years through pioneering innovations. With our expertise in topology optimisation and our extensive knowledge of materials, we are setting new standards, particularly in the field of superalloys. We are currently contributing to a high-profile space project that relies on our in-depth expertise in the machining of Inconel 718 – a superalloy developed specifically for extreme conditions.
Inconel 718: A material for extreme conditions
In the aerospace industry, there is a need for materials that deliver reliable performance even under the most demanding conditions. Inconel 718 meets these requirements exactly and offers key advantages:
- Heat resistance: Inconel 718 remains stable at temperatures of up to 700°C, making it ideal for applications in extreme thermal environments, such as in turbines and rocket engines.
- Corrosion resistance: The material is particularly resistant to corrosion, which is of vital importance in the aerospace industry, as components are often exposed to extreme environmental conditions.
- High mechanical strength: Inconel 718 is characterised by outstanding tensile strength and creep resistance, making it particularly robust and durable.
- Machinability: Despite its high strength, we specialise in machining Inconel 718. We have developed the necessary expertise in-house to work with this material.
- Resistance to stress corrosion cracking: This property makes Inconel 718 particularly suitable for components that are subjected to high mechanical and chemical stresses.
Applications in the aerospace industry
Thanks to these exceptional properties, Inconel 718 is frequently used in the aerospace industry – from turbines and rocket engines to structural components. Where reliability, precision and performance are required in extreme environments, Inconel 718 is often the first choice. At M&H, we rely on additive manufacturing techniques and state-of-the-art processing technologies to realise the full potential of this superalloy.
