IMT IN718 metal powder 15-53 microns, 10 kg
IMT IN718 is a metal powder of nickel-chromium superalloy, designed for 3D printing using SLM and LPBF technologies. It is used in the production of components for the aviation industry, rocket technology, energy, and also in the oil and gas industry. The material is distinguished by exceptional tensile strength, resistance to fatigue and corrosion, as well as the ability to retain its mechanical properties at temperatures up to 700°C. The 15–53 μm fraction provides Hall flow ≤ 15 s/50g, allowing the creation of uniform layers and ensuring print stability. The material is supplied in hermetically sealed containers of 10 kg.
Advantages of IN718 powder in 3D printing
- Exceptional heat resistance. The alloy retains stable mechanical characteristics and high resistance to deformation at working temperatures up to 700°C.
- Maximum purity. The EIGA production method completely excludes contact of the molten metal with the crucible lining, preventing non-metallic contamination.
- Minimal gas saturation. The crucible-free melting technology reduces the reaction time with residual gases, ensuring low oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen content.
- Morphological perfection. A sphericity index of particles ≥ 90% guarantees uniform material distribution and high bulk density.
Technological properties of IN718 powder
The metal powder of the nickel superalloy from IMT is optimized for layer-by-layer laser melting using SLM and LPBF technologies. The production by the EIGA (Electrode Induction Inert Gas Atomization) method ensures high raw material purity, which improves the viscosity and fatigue performance of the finished material.
The composition of the Inconel 718 alloy has a complex multi-component structure, where nickel and iron form a strong matrix, further strengthened by niobium and molybdenum. Thanks to dispersion hardening, the material demonstrates high durability and stability of characteristics from batch to batch, providing excellent resistance to fatigue loads and corrosive cracking in extreme operating conditions.

Applications
- Aircraft construction. Manufacturing of turbine blades and disks, combustion chamber elements, as well as protective engine casings.
- Rocket technology. Production of components for liquid rocket engines and specific fasteners that operate in cryogenic and high-temperature modes.
- Energy. Creation of high-load parts of industrial gas turbines and complex heat exchange equipment.
- Oil and gas industry. Production of specialized tools for deep-sea drilling, resistant to aggressive chemical environments.
