Inconel 722 (UNS N07722) is an age-hardenable nickel-chromium superalloy that derives exceptional strength from precipitation hardening (γ' and γ'' phases). It achieves yield strength exceeding 150 ksi (1035 MPa) while maintaining superb corrosion resistance. This alloy combines ultra-high strength with excellent corrosion resistance, retaining properties at elevated temperatures for critical applications in aerospace, oil & gas, and chemical processing industries.
Specifications & Physical DataInconel 722 is available in various mill forms for high-strength, corrosive service applications. The alloy is supplied in the solution annealed condition and achieves full properties after precipitation aging. ZYTC Alloy provides certified materials with ISO 9001 and AS9120 certification. Available Forms: Sheet, plate, strip (AMS 5541); bar, forgings, rings (AMS 5714) Specifications: AMS 5541 (sheet/strip/plate), AMS 5714 (bar/forgings/rings), UNS N07722

Operating Conditions & Selection CriteriaSuitable Conditions (Why Choose Inconel 722?) High-Stress Sour Service: Exceptional strength in H₂S environments for oil & gas applications Chloride Environments: Excellent pitting, crevice corrosion, and SCC resistance Aerospace Structural: High-strength fasteners, rings, frames requiring reliability Chemical Processing: Components facing simultaneous acid corrosion and high stress High-Temperature Springs: Maintains strength at elevated temperatures
Fabrication Guidelines| Process | Guidelines |
|---|
| Machining | Machine in annealed condition. Requires rigid setups, sharp tooling, positive rake angles, water-base coolants. Work-hardens rapidly. | | Forming | Cold form with heavy lubricants. Avoid plain carbon steel tooling (galling risk). | | Welding | Readily weldable (GTAW/TIG, GMAW/MIG, SMAW). Use matching filler (ERNiFeCr-2). Post-weld solution + aging required for full properties in HAZ. |
ApplicationsAerospace: Turbine frames, rings, high-strength fasteners, structural components Oil & Gas: Downhole tools, valve stems, wellhead parts, sour service components (NACE MR0175 compliant) Chemical Processing: Shafts, pumps, valves for corrosive acid service General: High-temperature springs, critical mechanical parts requiring strength and corrosion resistance
