BÖHLER L718API

BÖHLERL718 API (UNS N07718) is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum material with excellent corrosion resistance, especially in H2S and CO2 environments. The alloy is age-hardenable due to the addition of niobium, titanium and aluminium.
BÖHLER L718 API is recognised by the oil industry for its simple and cost-effective production in combination with good tensile, fatigue, creep and fracture strength and is used in a wide range of applications in this sector.
BÖHLER L718 API has excellent weldability and is resistant to cracking after welding. The material can be used at high temperatures.

BÖHLER L718 API is available in the NACE/API 6A CRA versions with a minimum yield strength of 120/140 ksi and also in the high-strength version with 150 ksi. All hardness grades are suitable for sour service and can be used for pressurising and pressure-controlling equipment in corrosive environments. Typical applications include packers, pumps, connectors and fasteners as well as gate valves, throttle spindles, pipework hangers and fire safe valves, but also a wide range of downhole and completion components, nuclear and surface applications.
