718 and Galling? - Metal and Metallurgy engineering | Eng-Tips 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
