Nickle based super alloy Inconel 718 is a difficult to cut material due its large mechanical strength and high heat corrosion resistance with good thermal stability. μ-EDM non-conventional micro-machining process that can produce complex micro features in 718. The removal mechanism of extremely intricate dynamic nature. This paper aims develop 2D axisymmetric transient model explain the theory ...

Size, shape, volume fraction and distribution of embedded g/ phase in g phase has direct effect on strength of INCONEL alloy. Microstructure parameters of INCONEL phases are quantified from microstructure images using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Different TEM sample preparation techniques were used to study INCONEL 738 alloy microstructure for transmission electron micros...

In this study, residual stresses from the electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) and selective laser melting (SLM) processes, due to repeated thermal cycles, were investigated. Residual stresses play a crucial role in part performance, and thus, it is critical to evaluate the process-induced residual stresses in AM parts. Ti-6Al-4V and Inconel 718 parts produced by EBAM and SLM, respective...

Johnson–Cook (J-C) material model is often used for Finite Element (FE) modeling of cutting processes and it affects significantly the results of simulation. Since experimentally determination of J-C equation parameters is an expensive and time-consuming task, in this paper, a new and efficient methodology was implemented based on the evolutionary optimization algorithm to identify new J-C mate...

The demand for components made from high performance materials like titanium or nickel-based alloys as well as strain-hardening stainless steel is steadily increasing. However, conventional forming operations conducted on these materials are generally very laborious and time-consuming. This is where the limitations of metal spinning also become apparent. Using a laser to apply heat localized to...

Laser direct metal deposition (LDMD) has developed from a prototyping to a single metal manufacturing tool. Its potential for creating multimaterial and functionally graded structures is now beginning to be explored. This work is a first part of a study in which a single layer of Inconel 718 is deposited on Ti-6Al-4V substrate. Single layer tracks were built at a range of powder mass flow rates...
