Effect of Recrystallized Microstructure on Stress Rupture Behavior and Notch Sensitivity of Powder Bed Fusion-Laser Beam Manufactured Alloy 718
摘要
Alloy 718 retains its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, its weldability contributes to compatibility with additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as powder bed fusion-laser beam (PBF-LB). In this study, various heat treatments, including stress relief, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), solution treatment, and aging, were applied to Alloy 718 manufactured by PBF-LB, and the stress-rupture life was investigated, as well as the effect of V-notch on its properties. The heat-treated materials exhibited longer stress-rupture life compared to the as-built material. However, significant anisotropy was observed due to the needle-like δ phase precipitated along the grain boundaries. Furthermore, material subjected to a different heat treatment conditions without δ phase precipitates promoted isotropic behavior. At the same time, notched specimens showed anisotropic stress-rupture life due to the interaction between crystallographic texture and stress state at the V-notch root.
