Polishing
Surface result
Smoother, glossier visible surfaces where geometry allows
Best for
Improving smoothness and gloss on Inconel 718 parts used for end-use metal parts, where geometry permits.
Note
Confirm edge retention and dimensional impact on Inconel 718; fine features may soften during polishing.
Sand Blasting
Surface result
Uniform matte texture
Best for
Creating a uniform matte texture on Inconel 718 parts used for end-use metal parts and display or functional prototypes.
Note
Confirm masking and feature retention on Inconel 718; abrasive blasting can change texture and soften fine details.
Laser Engraving
Marking result
Permanent text, logo, or identification marking
Best for
Adding permanent text, logos, or identification to Inconel 718 parts used for end-use metal parts.
Note
Confirm contrast, marking depth, and heat sensitivity on Inconel 718 before production.
Shot Peening
Surface effect
Compressive surface treatment for metal parts
Best for
Improving the surface condition of Inconel 718 metal parts used for end-use metal parts and load-bearing applications.
Note
Confirm alloy response, dimensional tolerance, and surface coverage on Inconel 718; process settings affect the final surface condition.
Heat Treatment
Mechanical result
Adjusted strength, hardness, or stress-relief depending on the alloy
Best for
Adjusting the strength, hardness, or stress state of Inconel 718 parts for end-use metal parts and demanding functional use.
Note
Confirm alloy-specific cycle, dimensional change, and post-treatment requirements for Inconel 718 before production.
