On the high-temperature flow response of additive-manufactured and heat-treated Inconel 718 superalloy
摘要
This investigation delves into the influence of heat treatment on the ambient temperature and high-temperature mechanical properties of nickel-based 718 superalloy additive-manufactured through laser-directed energy deposition. The findings indicate that direct aging heat treatment leads to enhanced strength in comparison to as-built condition for all straining temperatures. In contrast to ambient response, elevated temperature deformation of both the as-built and heat-treated conditions result in lower strength levels exhibiting serrated flow response. At temperatures over 700 °C, the heat-treated condition displays lack of hardening with a near elastic-perfectly plastic behavior. Fracture surface examinations reveal a mixed type of fracture, where the manifestation of cleavage planes increase after heat treatment.
