### **Product Introduction: Alloy 722 / Inconel 722 Rod (UNS N07722)** #### **Overview** **Alloy 722 Rod** (commercially known as **Inconel® 722 Rod**) is a premium precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium superalloy supplied in rod form, specifically engineered for applications requiring exceptional strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. This high-performance material maintains outstanding mechanical properties from cryogenic conditions up to 815°C (1500°F), offering superior performance in extreme environments where conventional materials fail. The rod product is manufactured through controlled hot working processes and precise heat treatments to ensure uniform grain structure, consistent mechanical properties, and reliable performance in critical aerospace, energy, and chemical processing applications. The alloy's enhanced characteristics are achieved through a sophisticated precipitation-hardening mechanism involving gamma prime [γ'] phase formation, providing exceptional microstructural stability and retention of mechanical properties after prolonged exposure to high temperatures. --- #### **Chemical Composition** The chemical composition of Alloy 722 Rod (UNS N07722) is carefully balanced for optimal performance: | Element | Content (%) | | :--- | :--- | | **Nickel (Ni)** | 45.0 -
