Abstract
This work investigates the joining phenomena between GS24Mn4 steel (WCB) and Inconel 718 (IN718) manufactured by additive manufacturing and compound casting. Modified heat treatment techniques namely annealing followed by quick aging (SAA) and annealing followed by direct aging (ADA) are studied regarding their effects on the interfacial hardness and tensile strength, followed by a thorough characterization of the interface microstructure and fracture surface. It is found that both techniques meet the micro hardness specification while ADA specimens perform better in terms of their strength. Moreover, the mass dendrite porosities on the fracture surface originating from compound casting shrinkage is the main cause of premature failure. It is also observed that wide and coarse grains of IN718 at the interface causes a shift in the location of material fracture from the weaker WCB to IN718 alloy.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
