Solution Treated and Aged N07718 Nickel Alloy
Solution treated and aged nickel 718 is nickel 718 in the annealed and aged condition. It has the lowest ductility compared to the other variants of nickel 718. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare solution treated and aged nickel 718 to: wrought nickels (top), all nickel alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
