Superplasticforming (SPF) has become an important manufacturing method for aerospace and fuselage components. The basic reasons for the popularity of this process are reviewed and the compatibilityoffine-grained INCONELB alloy71 8SPF@ to superplasticforming are presented in this paper. The temperature limitations of current aluminum and titanium alloys employed in SPF parts for gas turbine comp...

The current work was carried out to characterize welding of AISI 310 austenitic stainless steel to Inconel 657 nickel-chromium superalloy. The welds were produced using four types of filler materials; the nickel-based corresponding to Inconel 82, Inconel A, Inconel 617 and austenitic stainless steels 310. Of the two joints involved, this paper describes the choice of welding consumables for the...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important building block in industrial organic chemistry. Organic substrates containing a carbon-carbon unsaturation may undergo an addition of CO, normally resulting in the formation of a new carbon-carbon sequence, where one carbon atom is provided by carbon monoxide, the other ones originating from the unsaturated substrate, e.g. an olefin or an acetylenic derivati...

Experimental results on hot deformation and dynamic structural processes of nickel based alloy Inconel 718 are reviewed. The focus is the analysis of dynamic precipitation processes which operate during hot deformation of these materials at elevated temperatures. Hot compression tests were performed on the solution treated precipitation hardenable nickel based superalloy Inconel 718 at 720-1150...

Spacer grid assembly supporting the nuclear fuel rods is an important concern in the design of structural components of a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). The spacer grid is composed by springs and dimples which are formed from a strip sheet by means of blanking and stamping processes. In this paper, the blanking process and tooling parameters are evaluated by means of a 2D plane-strain finite ...

In this paper, an attempt has been made to design an computational intelligence technique based expert system using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for predicting surface roughness in end milling of Inconel 718. Two different types of membership functions are adopted for analysis in ANFIS training and compared their differences regarding the accuracy rate of the surface roughness ...
