INCONEL alloy X-750 may be given any one of a variety of
heat treatments. Each develops special
properties and puts the product form in the best condition for its intended
application. In all conditions,
INCONEL alloy X-750
is
resistant to oxidation
up to 1800°F. The most often
used
heat treatments
have been incorporated by the Society of Automotive Engineers
in their AMS specifications for various product forms.
Depending on the
application
and the
properties
desired, various heat treatments are employed. For service above 1100°F,
particularly where loads are to be sustained for long times, optimum properties are achieved by solution treating (2100°F) plus stabilization treating
(1550°F) plus precipitation treating (1300°F). For service below 1100°F, the alloy may be strengthened by precipitation treating after hot or cold working
or by precipitation treating after equalizing or solution treating. A furnace-cooling treatment is also used to develop optimum properties for some
applications.
