Abstract
In order to ameliorate microstructure and optimize properties of Inconel 718 alloy, a novel heat treatment method combining high-temperature ultra-short annealing at 980 °C for 1 min with subsequent double aging was proposed. The results showed that ultra-short annealing generated partially recrystallized microstructure and recrystallized nuclei were formed even in deformed grains, which was confirmed by KAM maps. Therefore, high-temperature ultra-short annealing overcame recrystallization barrier, and the subsequent recrystallization process could be completed during aging treatment with relatively low temperature, resulting in the uniformly refined microstructure (∼3.59 µm). The 980-1min-aged sample exhibited outstanding tensile properties. The room temperature ultimate strength and total elongation were 1600 MPa and 19%, respectively. The corresponding values of high- temperature (650 °C) tensile tests were ∼1350 MPa and ∼26%. Consequently, ultra-short annealing can be a promising route to enhance the properties of Inconel 718 alloy.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
