Forming

Alloy 718, Inconel 718, UNS N07718, HAYNES 718, DIN 2.4668 can be readily formed using all the traditional methods. As this alloy has high strength, powerful equipment has to be used. It is important that the material is properly cleaned of all traces of lubricant after forming to prevent embrittlement from occurring.


Forging

Forging can be done at 1121-926°C (2050-1700°F).

Annealing

Annealing of the material can be performed at 1037°C (1900°F) and then rapidly air cooled.


Hot Working

Hot working can be performed by heating the alloy to 1121-899°C (2050-1650°F). The alloy has to be reheated if hot working temperatures drop below 899°C (1650°F).


Cold Working

HAYNES 718 can be cold worked using all the traditional methods and tooling.


Aging

For aging HAYNES 718, anneal at 982°C (1800°F) and age at 718°C (1325°F) for 8 h. This should be followed by furnace cooling to 621°C (1150°F) and holding at that temperature for 10 h, and then air cooled.
