Inconel 718 CrossASME B16.9 · Manufacturer, trader & exporter, India
Alloy 718 · UNS N07718
An Inconel 718 cross is a four-way fitting with branches at 90°, made from Inconel 718 to a specification not yet established (buttweld) · a specification not yet established (forged). Crosses join four pipes in one fitting. They are used less than tees because of stress concentration, but save space in fire-water and utility systems.

Inconel 718 Cross: Why 718 for crosss
Crosses join four pipes in one fitting. They are used less than tees because of stress concentration, but save space in fire-water and utility systems. In Inconel 718, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy fittings match nickel-alloy pipe in aggressive media. Inconel 718 is picked for very high strength at temperatures up to about 650 °C. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Oil & gas — Wellhead parts, hangers and high-strength bolting. |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiFeCr-2 (AWS A5.14) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

Inconel 718 Cross — questions buyers ask
Why are crosses less common than tees?
They concentrate stress at four junctions; most designers use two tees unless space is critical.
Can Inconel 718 crosss be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Inconel 718 crosss?
The material is a specification not yet established (buttweld) · a specification not yet established (forged); dimensions follow ASME B16.9 · B16.11. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Inconel 718 cross?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Inconel 718 crosss to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Inconel 718 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates available on request / as specified in the PO; dimensional reports as required. PMI can be arranged depending on product and requirements, as specified in the PO.
