Article Abstract

In the current study, the thermodynamics of the slag-metal equilibrium reaction between Inconel 718 Ni-based alloy and CaF-CaO-AlO-MgO-TiO electroslag remelting (ESR)-type slags were systematically investigated in the temperature range from 1773 to 1973 K (1500 to 1700 °C). The equilibrium Al content increased with increasing temperature, whereas the equilibrium Ti content decreased with increasing temperature at a fixed slag composition. The important factors for controlling the oxidation of Al and Ti in the Inconel 718 superalloy were TiO > AlO > CaO > CaF > MgO in ESR-type slag and Al > Ti in a consumable electrode. The conventional method of sampling by means of a quartz tube could result in contamination of the molten metal and changes in the size of the "special reaction interface". Therefore, a novel method was used in the present study to investigate the slag-metal reaction kinetics to accurately obtain the kinetic parameters. The mass transfer coefficient was determined by coupling with the kinetic model derived from the assumption that the reaction rate ([Al] + (TiO) = [Ti] + (AlO)) was controlled by the mass transfer of [Ti], [Al], (TiO) and (AlO) in the boundary layer, respectively.

Welding Technology and Heat Treatment Butt-Welded Joints of Thin-Walled Inconel 718 Alloy Tubes.

Materials (Basel)

Faculty of Materials Engineering and Industrial Computer Science, AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, 30-059 Krakow, Poland.

The subject of this research was the development of technology for welding and the heat treatment of butt-welded joints of thin-walled Inconel 718 alloy tubes, a process based on orbital TIG welding without a filler metal. The developed technology allows favorable conditions to obtain the appropriate hardness and mechanical properties in the weld area required by AMS 5589. In the tests, the microstructure and mechanical properties were evaluated.

Fracture toughness anisotropy is a key concern in IN718 components produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), due to their strong crystallographic texture and characteristic lamellar microstructure. In this study, the effect of grain orientation on fracture toughness was evaluated by testing two LPBF IN718 builds with the same laser scanning strategy (R0), but with two different orientations: vertical (R0-0) and 45° inclined (R0-45) relative to the build direction. The mechanical response was assessed through compact tension (CT) tests following ASTM E399 and ASTM E1820 standards.

This study established a machine learning framework to enhance the accuracy of very-high-cycle fatigue (VHCF) life prediction in selective laser melted Inconel 718 alloy by systematically comparing the use of generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational auto-encoders (VAEs) for data augmentation. We quantified the influence of critical defect parameters (dimensions and stress amplitudes) extracted from fracture analyses on fatigue life and compared the performance of GANs versus VAEs in generating synthetic training data for three regression models (ANN, Random Forest, and SVR). The experimental fatigue data were augmented using both generative models, followed by hyperparameter optimization and rigorous validation against independent test sets.

In this work, a crystal plasticity (CP)-based continuum modeling approach is employed to investigate the interaction between dislocations and coherent γ″ precipitates in the Inconel 718 (IN718) superalloy. A finite element (FE) model is developed to accurately represent realistic microstructures in IN718, specifically incorporating a disk-shaped precipitate embedded within a matrix phase. A length-scale-dependent CP modeling simulation informed by molecular dynamics (MD) findings is conducted.

To address the graphitization of diamond induced by high temperatures during laser cladding of diamond-reinforced composites, this study proposes a laser cladding method utilizing Inconel 718 (IN718) nickel-based alloy as a transition layer which has a lower melting point than the substrate of 45# steel. And then, in order to analyze the detailed characteristics of the samples, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDS, Raman spectral analyzer, super-depth-of-field microscope, and friction tests were used. Experimental study and the test results demonstrate that the IN718 transition layer enhances coating performance through dual mechanisms: firstly, its relatively low melting point (1392 °C) reduces the molten pool's peak temperature, effectively suppressing thermal-induced graphitization of the diamond; on the other hand, simultaneously it acts as a diffusion barrier to inhibit Fe migration from the substrate and weaken Fe-C interfacial catalytic reactions.
