Inconel 718 foils are thin-gauge flat products of a nickel-chromium superalloy that hardens through a solution treat and age cycle instead of cold work alone. Niobium at 4.75 to 5.50% forms gamma double-prime precipitates during ageing, lifting tensile strength past 1240 MPa. This specialised Inconel foil holds that strength to about 650 °C and carries a density of 8.19 g/cm³, which suits thin seals, gaskets, heat shields, and high-speed Inconel 718 foil air bearings inside engines.
As a premier Inconel 718 foil supplier, we hold stock solution annealed, so fabricators can etch, draw, or form the foil first; it doesn't reach full hardness until the ageing step.
