What your process engineer actually checks
Locked, traceable lot chemistry
Every lot ships with a COA documenting PSD, sphericity, flow rate, apparent density, and full chemistry — and a lot number you can trace. Aerospace and medical teams reorder 4+ times without re-qualifying.
Qualified parameters, not just powder
Validated parameter sets for EOS M 290, Renishaw 500Q, SLM 280, and our own AO Metal LPBF ship with the order. Load the profile and hit density on the first build — no parameter-development burn.
A materials engineer on the line
Questions on ferrite content, flowability, recyclate ratios, or HIP response? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
A-Powder Inconel 718 (IN718) is Additive Plus’s own-brand nickel superalloy for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF): high strength with excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance to about 700°C — the same industrial quality at an accessible price.
Why teams buy A-Powder from Additive Plus
- Additive Plus’s own A-Powder line — the same industrial AM-powder quality at an accessible, published price.
- Gas-atomized for high sphericity, low oxygen and consistent flow.
- Available in small, workable volumes — no large mill minimums.
- Full COA with every lot — PSD, chemistry, apparent density and flow rate, with a traceable lot number.
- Fast dispatch from Los Angeles. Need a tighter cut or a custom quantity? Just ask.

Chemical composition
Typical chemistry (wt%) for Alloy 718:
| Element | Content | Element | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nickel (Ni) | 50.00–55.00% | Aluminum (Al) | 0.20–0.80% |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance | Cobalt (Co) | ≤ 1.00% |
| Chromium (Cr) | 17.0–21.0% | Manganese / Silicon | ≤ 0.35% each |
| Niobium + Tantalum | 4.75–5.50% | Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.08% |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 2.80–3.30% | Copper (Cu) | ≤ 0.30% |
| Titanium (Ti) | 0.65–1.15% | Boron (B) | ≤ 0.006% |
Heat treatment & processing
- Age-hardenable — solution anneal then age (e.g. per AMS 5662/5664) to reach full strength.
- Forgiving heat-treatment window thanks to the sluggish aging response.
- Low crack susceptibility — excellent processability in laser AM with strong as-built properties.
Key performance benefits
- High tensile, fatigue and creep resistance to 1300°F (704°C)
- Customizable properties through heat treatment
- Resistance to chlorides, stress corrosion and sulfide stress cracking
- Excellent AM processability
Typical applications
- Jet-engine and high-speed airframe parts
- Gas-turbine components
- Oil-and-gas tooling
- High-temperature impellers

From process engineers running A-Powder Inconel 718 Nickel Superalloy Powder for Metal 3D Printing | LPBF Compatible – 10 kg / 22 lbs
Unedited feedback from customers who reorder A-Powder Inconel 718 Nickel Superalloy Powder for Metal 3D Printing | LPBF Compatible – 10 kg / 22 lbs.
Same lot 4 times in a row. We stopped re-running parameter sweeps after the second order — density was identical to the first build.
Asked about ferrite content on a Friday. A materials engineer answered Monday morning with actual data, not a sales pitch. That's why we keep ordering.
COA matches the bottle. PSD and flow are exactly what was on the sheet — we run it on a Renishaw 500Q and it hits density on the first try.
