718 and Galling?
718 and Galling?
(OP)
I want to use Inconel 718 for a valve stem and gate nut but need to know a few things first.
Is 718 susceptible to galling?
If it is will copper plating the nut threads help or will this cause other problems?
Will 718 (approx 18% Fe)take a nitride?
Any help would be appreciated.

718 won't nitride, in that if you nitride it it has no (noticable) effect on the material.

Any comments on how well a XYLAN coating is likely to stand up as an anti gall coating?
