IN718
SLM / Metal · Nickel · Metallic nickel alloy
Nickel-based superalloys were designed specifically to withstand extreme conditions where other materials already fail. One of the most popular is the precipitation-hardenable IN718, which performs under static and dynamic loads across a wide temperature range, from close to absolute zero to over 700°C.
