0.032″ x 2″ x 36″, Nickel Alloy 718 Sheet

Description

Product Overview

The 718 Nickel Sheet is a high‑grade nickel alloy product engineered for demanding industrial environments. Measuring 0.032 inches in thickness, 2 inches in width, and 36 inches in length, this sheet provides a balance of flexibility and strength that is essential for precision engineering tasks. The mill‑finish surface is left in its raw, as‑rolled condition, offering a clean, uniform texture that can be further processed or fabricated without additional preparation. Manufactured by Online Metal Supply, a trusted source for specialty metals, the sheet conforms to industry standards for nickel alloys, ensuring consistent chemical composition and mechanical properties across each batch.

Nickel alloy 718 is renowned for its superior corrosion resistance, especially in aggressive chemical environments, and its ability to retain mechanical integrity at elevated temperatures. This makes the sheet an excellent choice for aerospace components, chemical processing equipment, and custom fabrication projects where durability and reliability are non‑negotiable. The product’s lightweight nature—just 11.84 ounces for the full sheet—facilitates handling and reduces shipping costs while still delivering the robust performance expected of nickel alloys.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the 718 Nickel Sheet finds application across a broad spectrum of industries. In aerospace, its high‑temperature tolerance and resistance to oxidation make it suitable for turbine blades, exhaust manifolds, and structural brackets that must endure extreme thermal cycles. Chemical processing facilities benefit from the sheet’s ability to withstand corrosive acids, alkalis, and saline solutions, allowing it to be used for reactor linings, valve bodies, and containment vessels.

Custom metal fabricators appreciate the sheet’s machinability; it can be cut, punched, welded, and formed with standard tooling while maintaining dimensional accuracy. The mill‑finish surface provides a reliable base for subsequent surface treatments such as anodizing, plating, or coating, enabling end‑users to tailor the material to specific performance requirements. Additionally, the sheet’s moderate size and manageable weight make it ideal for prototyping, where rapid iteration and testing are essential.

Whether the end goal is a high‑performance aerospace component, a corrosion‑resistant chemical conduit, or a bespoke metal art piece, the 718 Nickel Sheet delivers the material properties needed to achieve long‑lasting results.

FAQ

What certifications does the 718 Nickel Sheet have?

The sheet complies with ASTM B575 specifications for nickel alloy 718, which outlines chemical composition limits, mechanical property requirements, and dimensional tolerances. Certification documentation is available upon request, providing traceability from mill to final delivery.

Can the sheet be welded or brazed?

Yes, 718 nickel alloy can be welded using TIG or MIG processes with appropriate filler metals. Pre‑heating and post‑weld heat treatment are recommended to reduce residual stresses and maintain corrosion resistance. Our technical team can advise on optimal welding parameters for your specific application.

Is the mill‑finish surface suitable for coating?

The mill‑finish provides a clean, uniform substrate that is ideal for a variety of surface treatments, including anodizing, electroless nickel plating, and polymer coatings. Proper surface preparation—such as degreasing and light abrasion—will enhance adhesion and overall durability of the coating.

What is the lead time for delivery?

Standard inventory items, including the 0.032″ x 2″ x 36″ sheet, are typically shipped within 2‑3 business days after order confirmation. For larger quantities or custom dimensions, lead times may extend to 7‑10 business days, depending on manufacturing and logistics requirements.

How does the sheet perform in high‑temperature environments?

Nickel alloy 718 retains its mechanical strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to approximately 1300°F (704°C). This makes it suitable for components exposed to sustained high heat, such as turbine sections, exhaust systems, and heat exchangers. Proper design considerations, including allowance for thermal expansion, should be incorporated to maximize performance.
