Is Inconel Stronger Than Steel?

From April the French government will reduce fuel taxes slightly to ease the burden on consumers. 

Warned of possible energy shortages in France by the end of the year and called on the French to conserve electricity and gas from now on, saying that if nothing was done, The energy situation will be tough this winter. Some experts say that there are two main reasons for France's energy crisis: first, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine affected the gas market and caused supply tension; The second is a safety review of France's newest nuclear power plant, which may lead to a reduction in output this year. In order to alleviate the energy crisis, the whole French society needs to be mobilized, whether it is the industrial sector, the tertiary sector or every French citizen. Now it is urgent. Rising fuel prices may also have an impact on shipments of the In718 powder. 

What is Inconel 718?
Inconel 718 is a nickel-based superalloy. The unique alloy composition design of IN718 makes it have good comprehensive properties, namely high strength, creep resistance and fatigue life, good ductility, excellent oxidation resistance, especially under 650℃ temperature, its mechanical properties have good stability. 
 
Many parts of modern aero engines, such as turbine discs, blades, brakes, shafts, stators, seals, supports, pipes, fasteners, etc., are made of IN718. 
In718 can also be used in nuclear reactor (heat exchanger pipe), sub (propeller blades, quick disconnect device, auxiliary propulsion motor), chemical (vessels, pumps, valves, pipe), power (industrial gas turbine), the oil and gas industry (underground pipelines, wellhead hardware, torch arm).
 
Is Inconel Stronger Than Steel?
Each stainless steel has a different formulation. Stainless steel variants have distinct tensile strengths, recommended operating temperatures, and resistance to specific corrosion agents. For example, grade 316 stainless steel tends to have higher chloride resistance (but also higher average cost) than 304 stainless steel. 
 
In addition, certain handling and molding methods may affect the tensile strength of the metal. For example, the Inconel 625 "rolled" bar has a tensile strength of 120-160 ksi (827-1103 MPa), while the "solution treated" bar has a tensile strength of 103-130 ksi (714-896 MPa). 
Both tensile strength classes are given in ranges rather than specific numbers. That's because the strength of the metal can vary, depending on the exact proportion of ingredients in it -- small changes in carbon, nickel or iron content can significantly alter the strength of the final product. 
 
Inconel625 has a higher tensile strength than class 304 stainless steel and is better able to maintain this strength at higher operating temperatures. 
 
In addition, although the melting point of this particular type of Inconel is lower than that of 304 stainless steel, it has a higher operating temperature limit. This is because Inconel is stronger than stainless steel at high temperatures and is also more resistant to oxidation and scaling.
 
However, stainless steel may be better at resisting certain chemicals than Inconel such as sulfuric acid. Therefore, the choice of which of the two metal alloys to use will depend on the specific application in which they will be used. 
 
Inconel alloys tend to be better suited for heat treatment applications and other high-temperature processes. At the same time, stainless steel alloys are usually suitable for aseptic manufacturing or medical applications (or any application involving corrosion).

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 In718 powder will be influenced by that.
