High temperature fatigue crack propagation behaviour of Inconel 718

The overall objective of this work has been to develop and evaluate tools for designing against fatigue in gas turbine applications, with special focus on the nickelbased superalloy Inconel 718. The fatigue crack propagation behaviour under high temperature hold times has been studied. Firstly, the main fatigue crack propagation phenomena have been investigated with the aim of setting up a basi...

Temperature Measurement and Numerical Prediction in Machining Inconel 718

Thermal issues are critical when machining Ni-based superalloy components designed for high temperature applications. The low thermal conductivity and extreme strain hardening of this family of materials results in elevated temperatures around the cutting area. This elevated temperature could lead to machining-induced damage such as phase changes and residual stresses, resulting in reduced serv...

Investigation of Cutting Forces Superalloy Inconel 718

Since the cutting tools used in machining process of super alloys are subjected to high cutting forces, accordingly tools life is reduced, therefore improvement in alloys machining and reducing cutting forces to achieve longer tools life is an essential necessity. In this research, the effect of changes in feed rate on cutting forces in machining process of nickel based super alloys is investig...

Characterization of strain induced precipitation in Inconel 718 superalloy

Inconel 718 is a Ni-Cr-Fe superalloy which presents excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures, as well as good corrosion resistance and weldability. These characteristics can be optimized with an appropriate control of microstructural features such as grain size and precipitation. Precipitates of different nature can form in these alloys, i.e. γ’’ (a metastable metallic compound Ni3N...
