PRODUCT OVERVIEW
About Inconel 718 Pipe and Tube
Inconel 718 pipe and tube is supplied in UNS N07718 / Werkstoff 2.4668, a precipitation-hardenable alloy strengthened by double aging. Seamless product runs to ASTM B983, and aerospace tube follows AMS 5589 or AMS 5590. Duty spans downhole tools, wellhead equipment, and high-pressure fluid lines.
Buyers typically arrive here choosing between fabrication-friendly solution-treated stock and fully aged product for direct service. The full chemistry, standards, and aging logic sit on the Inconel 718 material page, while bar and rod and sheet and plate supply are covered on their own form pages.

WHY CHOOSE US
Why Choose Inconel 718
Ordering tubular product through Southerly Alloy puts the condition decision before the quotation. Standard, size, and condition are confirmed against your service plan first. After that, production runs with the partner plant responsible for melting and forming, and the certificate names the producing heat.
01
Condition-First Review
Fabrication steps and service load decide solution-treated versus aged before price does.
02
Heat-Line Documentation
Every tube length carries heat-number records back through the producing plant.
03
Testing to Order
Hydrostatic, eddy-current, UT, and PMI are scoped to the purchase line, not sold as extras.
04
Project-Ready Export
Bundling, end protection, and shipping documents are prepared for site delivery schedules.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Reliable Production For Critical Applications
Seamless 718 tubular product follows one continuous route, and the aging step at the end decides the delivered condition. Above all, cold-worked and aged product is never substituted with annealed stock when the order calls for strength.
01
Billet Verification
Round billets are checked against the UNS N07718 chemistry window before heating.
02
Hot Extrusion or Piercing
Heated billets are pierced and extruded to hollows for the seamless route.
03
Cold Sinking or Rolling
Hollows are drawn or rolled to the ordered OD and wall with intermediate anneals.
04
Solution Treatment
Product is annealed near 940–1010 °C and quenched to set up the aging response.
05
Double Aging
A two-stage hold near 718 °C and 621 °C precipitates the Ni₃Nb phase that delivers the strength.
06
Straightening and Finishing
Sizing, pickling, and end finishing deliver the specified surface and length.
07
Final Testing
Hydrostatic, eddy-current, tensile, and hardness results are reviewed before paperwork is released.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which standard governs Inconel 718 seamless pipe and tube?
ASTM B983 is the governing seamless pipe and tube specification for UNS N07718, with ASTM B829 general requirements behind it. Aerospace lines normally order to AMS 5589 or AMS 5590 instead.
Should Inconel 718 pipe be bought aged or solution-treated?
Solution-treated stock suits machining, welding, and further fabrication. Aged product carries the full 1034 MPa (150 ksi) class yield and goes straight into service.
Is Inconel 718 pipe suitable for sour service?
Yes. The chemistry and hardness control support NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 qualification. As a result, sour-service orders receive chemistry, hardness, and traceability records compiled for review.
Can Inconel 718 tube be welded after delivery?
Yes. Joining proceeds in the solution-treated condition with ERNiFeCr-2 filler, and the assembly is aged afterward where properties demand it.
How is Inconel 718 pipe priced?
Inconel 718 pipe is priced by weight (kg). Quotations therefore reflect the nickel surcharge, tube dimensions, manufacturing route, testing scope, quantity, and required delivery terms, and the applicable Incoterm appears on every offer.
What is your MOQ for Inconel 718 pipe?
Single-length orders are available for stocked OD and wall combinations.
What are your trade terms for Inconel 718 pipe?
FOB is quoted as standard, with EXW, CIF, and DAP available against confirmed destinations.
What is the lead time for Inconel 718 pipe and tube?
Stocked sizes ship in 7-15 days. Meanwhile, aged and hot-finished product is scheduled against mill availability.
Do you provide EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates?
Yes — 3.1 mill test certificates are standard on every delivery. Moreover, 3.2 certification with third-party endorsement can be arranged on request.
REQUEST FOR QUOTATION
Need A Custom Alloy Solution?
Send the OD, wall, standard, condition, and length. In return, the quotation returns route, test scope, Incoterm, and lead time. Additionally, service details such as medium and temperature can be attached for condition confirmation.
