What is the Important Step in the Production of Alloy 718

Russia and Ukraine is an important exporters of oil, natural gas, metals, fertilizers, rare gases and other industrial raw materials. Affected by the further intensification of the tension of the war, the global market has become more worried about the supply of the Alloy 718, and panic spreads in the futures market. Prices of commodities such as aluminum and nickel are at recent highs on concerns that supplies will fall. Russia accounts for 49 percent of global exports of nickel, 42 percent of palladium, 26 percent of aluminum and 13 percent of platinum, and is a significant exporter of steel and copper. Palladium is an important metal for sensors and memory. In addition, Russia is the world's largest exporter of nitrogen fertilizer, the second largest exporter of potash fertilizer, and the third-largest exporter of phosphate fertilizer. Ukraine is also an important producer of nitrogen fertilizer. Russia's natural gas supply also has a significant impact on the global fertilizer industry and Alloy 718 industry, especially in Europe. The price of the Alloy 718 will also fluctuate to some extent. Russia carries out crude gas separation, and Ukraine is responsible for refined exports. Ukraine supplies 70% of the world's neon, 40% of krypton and 30% of xenon. These three gases are the materials used to make chips.

In the aerospace or petrochemical industries, these important industries are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The trustworthy Inconel718 is always a frequently mentioned term. Indeed, in the process of using the popular Alloy 718, with the progress of industrial technology and the development of urban economy, this alloy material has been applied to more and more industries, playing an increasingly important role.

Several important steps in the production process of Alloy 718

1. Warm up

Cost-effective Alloy 718 workpieces require the most meticulous surface cleaning before and during heating to keep surfaces clean. Alloy 718 alloy will become very brittle if the heating environment contains phosphorus, lead or other low melting point metals. Impurities come from marking paint, chalk, etc. The sulfur content of fuel should be very low. For example, the impurity content of liquefied gas and natural gas will be less than 0.1%, the sulfur content of city gas should be less than 0.25 grams per cubic meter, and the content of petroleum gas will be less than 0.25 grams per cubic meter. Sulphur content below 0.5 percent is the best effect.

2. Grinding

The oxide near the weld of the cost-effective Alloy 718 alloy is more difficult to handle than the stainless steel, so at this time it is necessary to use a fine abrasive belt for grinding, before pickling in a mixed acid of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid, Also use sandpaper to remove oxides or use a salt bath for reasonable pretreatment.

3. Machining

Machining of reliable Alloy 718 must be carried out after solution treatment, and all aspects must be considered, especially the work hardening of the material, but it is very important that Alloy 718 is more suitable for low surface cutting.

Southern Copper Corp (SCCO.N) recently said its Peruvian mine remained closed after a six-week standoff with protesters and blamed the Peruvian government for failing to intervene in the safety of its 1,300 workers and their families.  

The company said in a statement that a recent agreement to end protests at the Cuajone mine required the company to withdraw complaints against protest leaders because railways transporting minerals and supplies remained blocked. Production has been suspended since the end of February.  

Peru's Energy Ministry said in a separate statement that it had also reached an agreement with Southern Copper to start talks to find common ground with local communities.  

"If we shut down for a year, the government will stop receiving more than 3.1 billion soles ($830 million) in taxes and royalties, and 8,000 direct and indirect jobs will be lost. This is what we want to avoid, "Southern Copper added in the statement.

Peru has faced a wave of protests from indigenous communities, who accuse mining companies of not providing enough jobs and funding to poor local residents.  

Central bank officials said last week that protests against copper mines such as MMG's Las Bambas and Southern Copper's Cuajone were dragging down the economy.  

Peru is the world's second-largest copper producer and mining is an important source of tax revenue for the country. It is estimated that the supply and prices of the Alloy 718 will be influenced by that.
