As an alloy with nickel as the primary alloying agent, this excellent property is why any manufacturer of Inconel flanges today recommends their use in corrosive environments. Meanwhile, Alloy 718 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy designed for use in the power industry, aerospace, chemically processed components, and hardware and marine industries due to its corrosion resistance, pressure resistance, and heat resistance. Alloy 718 / Werkstoff Nr. 2.4668 is a nickel-chromium-iron material also used in the nuclear industry to eliminate the risk of stress corrosion cracking in high-purity water containing chloride ions.
